If you are planning to build a new home, you know you need to hire the right builder for the job. Choosing a reputable builder with an established track record is critical to getting the house of your dreams. The key is trust. There are many qualified builders who take home construction seriously. They are business people who know that they have to earn your trust and work to keep it. They understand that their unstinting commitment to your project is the only way that’s going to happen.
In addition, to asking for and checking references, appropriate licensing, and insurance, qualify your builder by asking if home building is his or her full-time business. Some new homebuilders work part time. While they may be perfectly honest, they may not have the commitment to quality construction, adhering to schedules and budget, or warranty capability that a full-time committed professional would have. Also question how long he or she has been in business, how many homes he or she has built, the length of time he or she has been in business.
Another important question to ask is if he or she is a member of a builders association and if so, which one. You can check to see if the builder is in good standing with his professional peers. Often the builder’s associations require members to adopt an ethical code as a condition of membership.

The Hawaiian Islands are of volcanic origin and are edged with coral reefs. Hawaii is the largest and geologically the youngest island of the group, and Oahu, where the capital, Honolulu, is located, is the most populous and economically important. The other principal islands are Kahoolawe, Kauai, Lanai, Maui, Molokai, and Niihau. The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, consisting of uninhabited islets and excluding Midway, stretch more than 1,100 mi (1,800 km) from Nihoa to Kure. Most of islets are encompassed in the Hawaiian Island National Wildlife Refuge; the surrounding waters and coral reefs are in the vast 84-million-acre (34-million-hectare) Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Reserve. Palmyra atoll and Kingman Reef, which were within the boundaries of Hawaii when it was a U.S. territory, were excluded when statehood was achieved.
