i just priced out building materials for ten homes for a client of mine (shipped from the nw) and the savings was only 15% of what he is currently paying from island distributors(not really woth it with all the extra handling and storage). the only way it would be worth it for an individual if you bought everything over there and got good deals and shipped it over with your personal stuff. otherwise, good luck.
