Makes sure the units are Hawaii Modular or Hawaii standards built and not one brought over from the mainland. The standard mainland ones can only be used for temporary buildings and not part of a permanent permitted structure. The HMS or Hawaii standards would have been inspected to Honolulu County standards and are accepted for Hawaii County. If you do use one of the mainland units not to Hawaii standards, they will treat it like any new construction and it’s subject to all the regular new construction inspections.
Think of it like manufactured homes. If it's built to HUD Code for Hawaii, you just set it in place, if it’s not built to HUD Codes for Hawaii it's new construction. This is what it was almost 2 years ago, so you may want to verify this with the County.
