A Better Way to Build: From Vision to Delivery

Here on the Big Island, we know that building a home comes with unique challenges — from navigating permitting processes to sourcing the right materials for our  climate. That’s why our mission is simple: make building your home or structure  as smooth and stress-free as possible.

We start by helping you select a home plan that suits your needs and budget. These are thoughtfully designed layouts that are practical, buildable, and easy to customize. If our existing plans don’t quite fit, no problem — we can work from any sketch, idea, or photo to develop a plan just for you.

Once we’ve locked in your plan, we’ll handle the rest:

• Construction-ready drawings

• Required engineering stamps

• Required variance

• Permit processing with the building department

• A customized materials list

• Timed deliveries to match your construction schedule

• Argus consultation for duration of the project

We’ve been doing this for years, and we understand how to make it work in places like Pepe‘ekeo, Kea‘au, and Hilo proper. When we say your project is our business, we mean it.
