Aloha Everyone,
Until recently I've been thinking of buying a pre exciting home..I've begun to think that maybe I should not be so closed minded and open myself up to buying a lot and building a home of my liking? I'm not into prepackaged homes. I really love the architect Craig Steely type houses out in Puna Beach Palisades. I don't know.. I'm I being crazy to take something like this on? I would totally have to hand it over to a builder that knows what he or she is doing and have trust in them, since I know nothing about building a home.
Is there some kind of price per sq feet for new construction that I can go by?
I would have a catchment, since where I would be building most likely wouldn't have community water. ideally I would also like to have a small guest cottage. In my mind I'm thinking 2000 sq ft approx for main-house and 1000 sq ft for guest house.
Any suggestions,thoughts,experience you would like to share? Mahalo.
