Get the Plans You Need to Apply for a Residential Building Permit

Before you can build in Honolulu, you need a building permit. And before you can get a permit, you need the right set of construction drawings. These plans show exactly what you're building—and how it meets city requirements. Home Planning Hawaii helps Honolulu homeowners get accurate, code-compliant construction drawings so they can apply for permits with confidence.

What Are Construction Permit Drawings?

Construction permit drawings are technical plans that show your proposed project in full detail. The City & County of Honolulu's Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) requires these drawings to review your application.

A Typical Set May Include:

  • Site plan with property lines and setbacks
  • Floor plans showing layout and dimensions
  • Elevations showing exterior views
  • Structural, electrical, and plumbing details
  • Notes on building codes, materials, and use
Why These Drawings Matter

Required for All Major Construction

Any new home, addition, or major remodel needs an approved permit—and drawings are the first step.

Helps Avoid Permit Delays

Incomplete or incorrect plans often cause permit applications to be rejected or delayed.

Gives Builders a Clear Plan

Your contractor needs accurate drawings to know exactly what to build—and how.
