PE-Stamped Drawings for Kahului Projects

Maui County Department of Public Works Development Services Administration is the primary local building or development authority for this Kahului address. Planning, fire, SMA or shoreline, floodplain, water, wastewater, environmental, and utility reviews can be separate. The responsible Hawaii PE and AHJ determine discipline, seal, and submission requirements.

The responsible Hawaii PE determines engineering responsibility and seal needs, then documents the effective state and county code, wind and seismic criteria, coastal or flood overlays, special inspections, existing-building provisions, and deferred design. Confirm Maui County building, zoning, SMA, flood, fire, water, wildfire, and development-services requirements with Maui County Department of Public Works Development Services Administration at intake; the State Building Code Council page does not replace county amendments, agency decisions, or an address-specific checklist.

Kahului and Maui County require attention to coastal plain flooding, hurricane and trade-wind exposure, salt corrosion, drought and wildfire risk, volcanic slopes, intense rain events, and constrained water capacity. Verify those facts with current survey, geotechnical, flood, shoreline, utility, water, and environmental records rather than importing mainland or neighboring-island assumptions.

workforce-housing additions, ADUs, industrial tenant improvements, hotels, retail, civic buildings, and water-efficient site work ADUs, residential additions, tenant improvements, and small commercial work should be screened for zoning, occupancy, fire, energy, SMA, wastewater, utility, and existing-condition triggers before documents are finalized.

A PE needs current survey, field observations, geotechnical and lava or slope information, utility responses, equipment data, and agency correspondence before accepting responsibility. A stamp is not a guarantee, construction authorization, or substitute for an architect, land surveyor, contractor, or specialty consultant. For airport and industrial redevelopment, post-fire resilience, and central Maui housing, coordinate the decision with Maui County Department of Public Works Development Services Administration, Maui Electric and County of Maui Department of Water Supply, and Maui County Department of Planning; another island's permit record is not evidence for this site.

The county building and planning offices may be joined by fire, water, wastewater, shoreline or SMA, DLNR, DOH, utility, floodplain, and public-works reviewers. A scope matrix identifies which sheets answer each authority and where a separate professional's responsibility begins. For airport and industrial redevelopment, post-fire resilience, and central Maui housing, coordinate the decision with Maui County Department of Public Works Development Services Administration, Maui Electric and County of Maui Department of Water Supply, and Maui County Department of Planning; another island's permit record is not evidence for this site.

Comments, revised calculations, RFIs, material substitutions, corrosion or concealed conditions, and delegated components should be tracked against the sealed set. The responsible PE decides whether a site observation, calculation, or revised sealed sheet is needed before work proceeds. For airport and industrial redevelopment, post-fire resilience, and central Maui housing, coordinate the decision with Maui County Department of Public Works Development Services Administration, Maui Electric and County of Maui Department of Water Supply, and Maui County Department of Planning; another island's permit record is not evidence for this site.
