We owner built our custom dream house in California. Hiring All subs. We had to finish,help,correct,redo, every subs work.
There are more inspections there. The only inspection that we past in Cal.the first time was the electrical, which we did.
We are most of the way threw our second home building here in Hawaii. We have done most of the work. I feel that building here is far less restrictives than Cal. The few subs we have had to hire had good work ethic and the end result was good. Customized package homes get you some of what you want with alot of the BS taken out and at descent price. If you want to build your dream home, custom is best. But be prepared for custom price and problems that occur. What's on paper does not necessarily transfer to structure easily $$$$$$. I would not recommend building while off island, but that's your choice.
The best investment is to build your own.
Good luck in what ever you do.
Aloha
Wyatt
