Thank you, everyone!
Rob, would a Project Manager replace the general contractor or work with the general contractor? That is, are we talking about a partnership of owner/contractor/project manager or just owner/project manager?
Glen, thanks for the link!
The PM would act as your employee and would not replace the GC. There would be no partnership of any kind between anyone.
I agree with John Dirgo, you should have someone overseeng the project if you are not on island during the construction and I can recommend Catherine Dumond too. I only heard good things about her company and she certainly is very knowledgeable.
I have built several homes using a GC here in Hawaii and I checked on the status of the construction every two weeks. I also know there are some people here on Punaweb who built homes without being here and without using a PM. It can be done both ways.
