We will be building in 2012 in Hawaiian Acres and are considering a packaged home with some modifications. What's the advantage of buying a packaged home as opposed to having a set of houseplans that your Hawaii-licensed architect modifies? I would hire a general contractor with excellent references and local connections to deal with getting the permits, lumber and hardware as well as sub-contracting various necessary services.
