Packaged Home Question

[Mike Pritchard]

Desoleta, I just finished building a house for myself in HPP. I bought the plans from Cathy Dumond (kapohocat) and her draftperson Daniel Bono. She also handled the permit process for me (great service, very reasonable) The problem with package homes is your locked into using the finish materials (doors, windows, cabinets, hardware, plumbing fixtures, flooring) that come with the package. Which is usually pretty basic stuff. I was able to buy nicer finish materials and the total for materials on my house was not much more than the package price ( I also ordered my lumber from Washington). If your ok with the finish materials in the packages, the HPM and Big Island Package home packages are really good deals. I've heard mixed reviews of Trojan and Honsador. Good luck.
Aloha, Mike
