"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. "

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.
