For anyone who has decided to build a home, choosing the right contractor is really the key to a successful project. It means getting the home you want at the price you had expected to pay, and it is often the difference between what can be an enjoyable experience or a nightmare.

About Big Island Homebuilders / Bobby, Inc.

With that in mind, here is some information about Big Island Homebuilders, how we work and some important details about our building process.

We are a contractor licensed by the State of Hawaii (license # BC-24551) and we abide by all the codes and regulations that contractors operate by. Some of these include:
• Following building codes related to hazards such as termites, hurricanes and earthquakes.
• Carrying general liability insurance and workers compensation insurance.
• Providing a one year warranty on all work.
• Providing a three year warranty against termites

Bobby Inc. constructs smaller entry level homes, kit homes and custom or luxury homes, ranging from 1,100 - 8,000 square feet in area and on lots from 10,000 square feet to more than three acres. To date, we have built more than 40 homes on the Big Island. It typically takes us six to seven months to build a home, from site preparation to the finished structure ready for occupancy.

In the continuing trend toward energy conservation and sustainability in home design, we try to make all homes we build as energy-efficient as possible. This includes using wall and ceiling/roof insulation, special roof shingles, duo pane windows, through-home ventilation, ceiling fans, solar and photovoltaic systems, and the use of Sola Tube natural lighting.

Bobby Inc. builds homes anyplace on the 4,000 square mile Big Island. Coastal sites, uplands, forested areas - anywhere you have decided on as the site for your dream home. We can help you get financing locally or refer you to lenders we work with; and we engage architects/draftsmen to draw and officially stamp your plans to meet the building code.
