Eightfingers,
I'm building as an owner/builder, but I must give credit where it is due. The following are professionals that I have used in chronological order. All have been referred to me by Puna Webbers.
Plans, permits, and materials through Julia and Ray at Trojan/HPM; 6 months due to my location only 7ft above sea level/very close to tide pools.
Nash Engineering for elevation study, health dept engineering for septic 1-2 weeks, Nash used to work for county(this helps) and his wife Zelda is very nice with great communication.
I Dig Hawaii/Kevin Hill prepped lot and installed septic 1-2 weeks max. Also helpful in saving me rocks to finish my rock wall.
Drainpipe plumbing so far very good with price and scheduling, they are about to do their thing.
Ross Iwamoto electrician, also about to do his thing, and very good with price and scheduling.
Joe Clark better known as "Joe the Framer" was referred to me by Puna Webber lquade, Joe and his crew did my concrete foundation and has constructed our house to this point in less than four weeks, working M-F. He is fast, efficient, AFFORDABLE, and works like a typical Texan...very hard.
Soon I will be putting together my costs and comments on the building process, and I will be glad to share this information. I've also heard many good things about other professionals, so do ask for referrals and costs. I wish I had more time to gather and plan, but my wife and I got caught up in the moment and just went for it. We came for a visit in October, purchased a lot in November, and started the plan/permit process in December, and then changed our minds and started the permit/plan process all over again in January. We are appreciative for all the help our fellow Puna Webbers have provided.
Hope this helps, Aloha Tony
