A Step-by-Step Guide to Commercial Construction
Maui Commercial Construction guides you through every step—from site selection to final approvals. We leverage the Maui County MAPPS system to access zoning data, permits, and compliance requirements, streamlining your commercial construction process in Maui. Use our expert guide to navigate MAPPS and build with confidence.
Site Selection and Predevelopment
Before starting any project, thorough research is necessary. Using MAPPS GIS mapping tools, developers can evaluate zoning regulations, flood zones, and land attributes to determine a property’s viability. Understanding these factors early helps avoid costly delays.
Zoning and Permit Applications
Maui’s zoning laws define permissible land use. MAPPS provides zoning maps, parcel data, and permit application resources, ensuring compliance. Contractors must apply for the necessary building, electrical, plumbing, grading, and special management area (SMA) permits when applicable.
Environmental and Cultural Considerations
Maui’s rich environment and cultural history require responsible building. Developers should assess environmental impact, historic preservation requirements, and endangered species protections using MAPPS resources. Compliance with the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act (HEPA) may be necessary for larger developments.
Design and Financial Planning
Working with architects and engineers to develop compliant, high-quality designs is crucial. MAPPS provides access to property boundaries and utility connections, aiding design integration. Meanwhile, securing financial backing ensures the project’s feasibility.
Plan Submissions and Final Approvals
Once designs are finalized, they must be submitted to Maui County’s Department of Public Works and Planning Department for approval. MAPPS provides submission guidelines and contact information, allowing for a streamlined review process.
Construction and Compliance
After approvals and financing, construction begins. Building contractors must be licensed and adhere to labor and safety regulations. Regular inspections by county officials ensure compliance with building codes and permit conditions.
Final Inspection and Certification
Upon project completion, a final inspection is required to obtain a certificate of occupancy. MAPPS allows scheduling of inspections to ensure all compliance measures are met. Once approved, the property is legally ready for use.
