slab vs post and pier

You didn't state which area you plan to build on. Eden Rock is not the same as Leilani. Lee M-S said what I would have said, there are many advantages to having your house sit up. Including driving beneath it in a pouring rain. Also, if you catch the trade winds you don't need air conditioning! A few fans on the hottest days will do ya. The house I would build in Alaska is not the same house I would build here in Hawaii. Also, my knees are going, so stairs may become a problem. I might build a ramp to the the lanai/entrance with storage beneath; or I might get a stairmaster. Congratulations on your diligence, it will pay off for you.
