Questions
Why should I purchase building materials from the mainland?
Mainland sourcing provides access to higher-quality materials like Douglas Fir lumber at lower costs due to Oregon's status as a major timber producer and lack of sales tax.
How is lumber protected against termites?
All lumber receives pressure-treated termite-resistant HiBor protection during processing in Oregon before shipping to Hawaii.
What is the typical delivery timeline for materials?
Ocean freight takes 7 days, packaging 3 weeks, with total turnaround around 30 days. Local delivery averages 3 days from port to site.
Do you work with licensed engineers and architects?
Yes, we collaborate with Hawaii-licensed structural engineers and architects to review and stamp all permit plans for code compliance.
What are the phases of your service process?
Services include preliminary design, working drawings, permit processing, contractor facilitation, and material delivery for complete home construction projects.
