From a small house or ohana to a large home or commercial property, there’s a lot that happens between inception and getting the keys. A new building project in Maui is exciting but challenging.
When it’s time to make your dreams a reality, Pro Draft can help you start the process and ensure that everything is done right. Pro Draft Inc. is an innovative, high-production drafting house located in Maui, Hawaii and can help with everything from architectural drafting to permit expediting to interior design and project management.
Things To Consider
Once you’ve decided to build in Maui, the first question is: where do you want to build? Is a beach house the most appealing, or somewhere in the Upcountry? Different areas may have different needs, such as withstanding hurricanes and storms in the coastal areas.
Maui, and the entire State of Hawai’i, is very protective of the environment no matter where you decide to build. Your building project will be subject to many building and other codes that are designed to protect the environment, such as shoreline setback lines. These rules require a building project to be a specific distance from the shoreline to help preserve the coast.
Houses on Maui are generally not as large as ones on the Mainland. Therefore, it’s important to make every square foot of space count. Maui has strict limits on how big lots are for residential, agricultural apartments, and hotel district areas.
Project Assessment
Here at Pro Draft, we want to have a good understanding of what you want before we begin. What helps is getting your information so we can use that to prepare our proposal for you.
We start out by researching your location, either by address or by the tax map key number. This will give us a better idea of what you’ll be able to build based on the zoning. Setback lines, allowable uses, and other information are important when drafting plans.
Are you also planning to add an ohana to your property? Maui has limits on not only the size but the number of ohanas an owner can have on their property. Once we find the property location we’ll discuss with you your options for an ohana.
If you’re planning new construction, we would like a copy of any surveys, site plans, and other related information. If the property has an existing building, we’ll ask for blueprints and your plans for that structure.
Of course, we’re also happy to answer any questions you have. The more information you can provide us with, the easier it is for us to come up with a proposal and design that’s right for you.
