"I can’t say enough good things about INNOVATIVE BUILDERS HI! From start to finish, working with them was an amazing experience. I hired them for our home, and they exceeded all my expectations. First off, Chris the owner has an incredible knowledge of Hawaiian construction techniques, which was really important for me since I wanted to make sure the project aligned with local regulations and environmental considerations. He also has a great eye for detail, ensuring that everything was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, blending seamlessly with the beauty of our Hawaiian surroundings. The team was professional, courteous, and respectful throughout the entire process. They kept me updated at every step, made sure the site was clean and safe, and worked efficiently to stay on schedule. I also appreciated that they took the time to explain things clearly, always answering my questions and providing valuable advice. What really stood out was their dedication to quality."

"The project was slated to take about 2 weeks but because of contract creep and a broken truck, it took 3 weeks.  They never complained about the little extra projects we asked them to do.  And all work was done very well.

"We had around 450 sq ft of deck and railing, as well as some major supporting structures in need of repair. Christian and his crew, Joshua and Stan, secured the railing, repaired the old deck and replaced deck posts, supporting beam and joists. We are very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the attention to detail.. Throughout the project, Christian was always available for discussion and feedback. Christian started and ended the project as proposed. We feel very safe and secure walking around the deck and we will call Christian again for our next home improvement project."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.
