Planning to build your dream house from the ground up? New home construction is far from simple, but by following a few essential steps and finding a trustworthy contractor to bring your vision to life, you can create the ideal living space. For residents in Kailua Kona, the expert contractors at Redwater Construction have turned carefully laid plans into lasting realities for over 20 years.

Here, they share the steps you need to follow to begin the new home construction process:

• Create Your Custom Plan: Whether you’d prefer to draw up your own plans or hire an architect to put them down on paper for you, it’s crucial to have a custom plan for your home that will translate from the page to the foundation. If your plans are incomplete, you’ll have issues when applying for a real estate permit.
• Find a Contractor: After you’ve finished brainstorming, you need to find a reputable contractor. Don’t settle for the first one you can find for a new home construction project—make a list of contractors to interview. Ask for a list of references and projects so you can view their past work. You should also ask previous clients about their experience, including whether or not there were issues during the construction process.
• Apply for Permits: Before you can build a home, you need to apply for the necessary real estate permits. Review the local requirements for a permit before you waste time and money on an application that will only be sent back.
