Building and remodeling in Hawaii come with a different set of rules than building a home anywhere on the mainland. So, if you're planning to build a house here, there are a few things you need to know before you get started. Hawaii's housing market prices continue to increase and existing homes, in many areas, are not available. Oahu Mayor Kirk Caldwell emphasizes that affordable housing options exist, such as multigenerational housing and the ubiquitous Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that dot the islands.
He also encourages builders to explore issues like sustainability, longevity, flexible designs, and tax-relief plans. It's no wonder that individuals and families want to have a home on the islands. Hawaii is one of the most beautiful areas in the world. So, when you begin your journey toward home-building in Hawaii, you need to know there will be different guidelines in place which will necessitate the assistance of and partnering with innovative designers, contractors, builders, and architects.
