[UPDATED] HPM PRE-APPROVED HOMES: COMPLETE GUIDE TO FAST-TRACK BUILDING ON
HAWAIʻI ISLAND
This article has been updated as of November 2024
Expert guide to HPM's pre-approved home plans, wind zone considerations, and
cost-saving opportunities for Hawaiʻi Island residents. Updated for 2024 with
new models and expanded wind zone options.

UNDERSTANDING PRE-APPROVED HOMES: A REVOLUTION IN HAWAIʻI ISLAND BUILDING
The concept of pre-approved homes represents a significant evolution in Hawaiʻi
Island's construction landscape. As housing demands grow and construction costs
rise, HPM's pre-approved home program offers a time and money-saving solution
for aspiring Hawai‘i homeowners.
Our partnership with the County of Hawaiʻi has yielded a streamlined approach
that transforms the typically complex home building process into a manageable
journey. This program doesn't just save time and money – it provides peace of
mind through thoroughly vetted designs that meet our unique island building
requirements.
THE PRE-APPROVAL ADVANTAGE
Every HPM pre-approved home design has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by
the County of Hawaii Building Division, creating a simplified path through the
often lengthy and complex permitting process. This pre-approval status delivers
substantial time savings even as you progress through other County department
requirements, getting you into your new home faster and more efficiently than
the standard permitting process.
Accelerated Approval Process for Hawai‘i Island - Standard home plans can spend
months in the County of Hawaii permit review process. While our HPM Homes
pre-approved designs significantly streamline this journey, it's important to
understand how the process works:
* * The County of Hawaii Building Division has committed to:
* Quick turnaround on building permit review (shaving 2-3 months off
typical timeline)
* Pre-verified structural calculations
* Simplified documentation requirements
* Your plans will still require review by three other County departments:
* Planning Department (Land Use Review)
* Engineering Division
* Wastewater Division (DEM-WW or DOH-WW)
Cost-Effective Design - Our HPM Homes pre-approved plans are specifically
designed to simplify construction, making them more affordable to build while
maintaining quality:
* * Eliminated engineering fees ($3,000-$4,000 savings for High Wind Home Plans
specifically)
* Optimized material packages
* Reduced planning costs
* Minimized construction delays
* Efficient building processes
Quality Assurance - Each design undergoes rigorous validation:
* * County-verified structural integrity
* Climate-appropriate materials
* Proven floor plan efficiency
* Multiple home plans to suit various family needs
WIND ZONE CLASSIFICATIONS: BUILDING SMART FOR HAWAIʻI ISLAND'S DIVERSE CLIMATE
Understanding wind zones is crucial for Hawaiʻi Island residents planning to
build a new home. Our island's unique topography creates distinct microclimate
regions, from sheltered valleys to exposed coastal areas, each requiring
specific construction approaches. HPM's pre-approved homes are specifically
engineered to address these varying conditions while maintaining the beauty and
functionality that island living demands.
LOW WIND ZONE AREAS:
The eastern side of Hawaiʻi Island, particularly in areas like Hilo and Puna,
often benefits from natural wind protection thanks to our volcanic terrain and
lush vegetation. These protected regions allow for more standardized
construction methods while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Low wind zone HPM Pre-Approved Home models are ideal for:
* * Areas sheltered by terrain or thick vegetation
* Interior valley locations away from ridgelines
* Regions below 1,000 feet in elevation
* Properties with natural windbreaks
Our low wind zone pre-approved homes feature calculated structural
specifications that balance safety with cost-effectiveness. Starting at $850 for
drafting fees, these models offer an economical path to homeownership while
ensuring your home stands strong for generations.
Popular Low Wind Zone Locations - The following areas typically qualify for our
low wind zone models:
* * Hawaiian Paradise Park's sheltered sectors
* Orchidland's protected neighborhoods
* Lower Hamākua Coast's valley regions
* Waiākea's established communities
* Keaʻau's residential areas
HIGH WIND ZONE AREAS: ENGINEERED FOR EXCELLENCE
Hawaiʻi Island's more exposed regions, particularly in areas like Waimea and
South Point, experience stronger wind conditions that require enhanced
structural considerations. Our high wind zone pre-approved homes incorporate
additional engineering features that protect your investment while preserving
the open, airy feeling that makes Hawaiʻi homes special.
High wind zone plans and material packages include:
* * Reinforced structural elements for superior stability
* Hardie fiber cement siding systems rated for extreme conditions
* Strengthened foundation specifications
* Advanced hardware and connection systems
Starting at $1,800 for drafting fees, these models represent the perfect balance
of strength and style, specifically engineered for:
* * Waimea's highland areas
* Ocean View's exposed locations
* South Point's windward properties
* Kaʻū coastal regions
* Ridge-top locations island-wide
AVAILABLE MODELS: DESIGNED FOR ISLAND LIVING
HPM's collection of pre-approved homes reflects decades of experience building
for Hawaiʻi's unique environment. Each model combines time-tested design
principles with modern amenities, creating homes that are both functional and
beautiful.
UNDERSTANDING PRE-APPROVED MODEL PARAMETERS
Structural Integrity and Modifications
A common question from prospective homeowners is about making changes to our
pre-approved designs. When HPM submits home plans for Hawaii County approval, we
include drawings and details to specify the structural materials needed for the
building. The County of Hawaiʻi has stamped and approved these specific
materials and measurements, making them integral to the pre-approval status.
This means structural elements like window heights, roofing types, and wall
configurations must remain as designed to maintain the plan's pre-approved
status.

reflects your personal style while maintaining the integrity and benefits of the
pre-approved design.
