John,
This has probably been discussed in the building forum, but your showing us this Oahu-based building company made me wonder if there are other options for panelized construction that are based in Hawaii?
Also, I went to the Innovative Housing Solutions web site and there's lots of justification for the advantages, but there are no photos or explanations for what parts of these homes would be steel, and what parts standard. Since you're the only one I've seen with this information, I would also like your opinion on the steel construction. We've talked a lot about homes incorporating steel wall studs and the like, but this sounds like it would extend to floor joists and other components. Maybe I should just call the outfit and ask, but you're handy.
Thanks for all your help,
Brian (Fishboy)
