"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. "

Home Building questions, answered by experts

As long as you pull the appropriate permits to build your ADU, it will contribute to your property’s total livable square footage. This is even true for basement conversion ADUs despite the living area sitting below grade. Keep in mind that permanent improvements, especially those that add square footage, tend to increase your home value, which can affect your property taxes.

Building permits serve a few purposes, the most important of which is to keep you and the people around you safe by ensuring your contractor does work safely and to code. Permits also help your municipality tax your property appropriately, as taxes are based on land improvements and the upgrades you make to your home. Finally, permits ensure your project won’t have a negative impact on the environment or your neighbors.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build one from scratch. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run.
