Five ways to add a home to a lot
Which one fits depends on your lot, your house and who will live there. Each page lists what we build, what changes the cost, the permit questions and the shipping list.
Detached ohana units
A small home with its own foundation, roof, entry and utility connections, behind or beside the main house. The most private option and the one with the most to check on the lot.
Detached ohana unitsGarage conversions
A garage or carport turned into a unit. The walls and roof are there. The slab, the parking and the fire separation are the questions.
Garage conversionsLower-level units
Many Oahu houses sit on a slope with a carport or storage below the living floor. Headroom, humidity and a second way out decide whether it can become a home.
Lower-level unitsIn-law suites
A bedroom, bath and kitchenette inside the main house, with a door that closes and a step-free way in.
In-law suitesPermits and utilities
Drawings, the Department of Planning and Permitting, water, sewer and power. We run it as one job so that nothing waits on a form nobody sent.
