State Cracks Down on Monster Home Builders

Catherine Cruz

Scrutiny over monster home construction triggered a complaint about a contractor who lost his license, yet continued to build. The Hawaii Construction Alliance flagged the problem to the City Department of Planning and Permitting and the State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.

Last week, Tyler Dos Santos Tam of the Hawaii Construction Alliance spoke with The Conversation's Catherine Cruz about the problem.
