Need help with pricing a kit home & alternates

One thing to keep in mind with package homes is that they are designed to minimize material, and labor cost. This is why most of them are lacking much character. When you start customizing a package design, you will almost always increase the cost both in material and labor, especially when you start adding more hips and valleys to the roof.

Mark,
There's a really nice set of pictures at this address http://www.southpointhawaii.com/guest_images.htm of a modified HPM package home that was built in HOVE last year. Look in the upper left of that web page for the pictures of Charles, Hazel and Jason. They've moved there permanently and looking at their home really impresses me. They don't mention what was modified, but I think it was just moving some non-load-bearing walls around. I really like their curb appeal also, nice color choice.
