Wish I caught this discussion sooner ....
I am a sales rep for Yurts of Hawaii and offer my yurt home office as a model, although construction is not complete. Showings are by appointment in Pahoa. There are codes to follow, but they are permit-able. I recently had the rough-in electric inspected (plumbing done). Interesting the inspector said he had approved about 6 yurts in the last 1-2 years. I would love to educate Realtors!!
Regarding container homes, I investigated before deciding on yurt living. They are certainly permit-able too and if you search the Internet you will find fascinating creations, such as high-rise condos made of stacked shipping containers! The reason I decided on a yurt instead of container/s (or other similar creative choices) was because of value for the money. In the end, the yurts are the best deal and much more suitable to Hawaii climates.
With warm aloha,
