You can not install a trailer, mobile or manufactured home in Hawaii, unless:
1. It's inspected during construction to the same building codes and standards as any other home by Hawaii County building inspectors and meets all Hawaii codes.
or,
2. It's inspected during construction to the same building codes and standards as any other home by an official government building inspector of another state authorized to act oh behalf of Hawaii County and meets all Hawaii codes.
or,
3. It is a HUD Code labeled structure that meets HUD codes and specification for Hawaii zone.
HUD's specifications for Hawaii are some of the strictest and unless you’re getting the home manufactured in the hurricane belt or Alaska, none of the others would qualify. Add the shipping to Hawaii, transporting overland on both ends, and permits for that transporting and it probably would end up costing more than a locally built home.
There are no manufactured home builders in Hawaii.
I researched this there was no real cost savings when all cost were added up.
