We are finishing up our kit house from Big Island Package Homes. It's a beautiful house, and very well-designed. However, I can't recommend the company - had some issues. Contractors kept telling me the kit was priced high for what it included. I requested a cut list so I could compare costs, having paid a (non-refundable) $7,500 deposit. They refused to give me a cut list until I paid the balance on the kit. So I refused the kit, walked away with my blueprints, and my builder came up with a cut list, which saved us substantial bucks. (We had to eat the deposit.)It's a beautiful house, tho - maybe you can just buy the plans from them.
