A builder in the area will charge somewhere between $600-$1000+ sq/ft under roof.  This usually will include everything from foundation up.  Other costs to consider are your excavation, driveway, septic, pool and landscaping.  Prior to building, there are costs associated with getting your plans approved by the county and the HOA.  These costs include a surveyor, architect, civil engineer and landscape architect. 

The time to get your plans through the ACC and the County depends on many factors.  Putting together a team that works together well and in a timely manner is the first step.  You will need a Hawaii Licensed Architect, Civil Engineer, Surveyor and a Licensed Landscape Architect.  Depending on how cohesive your team is and how determined you are to project manage this group, you can expect to have finished plans anywhere from 1 to 2 years. 

After you have your HOA and County approved plans and you have the green light from the ACC, you can begin construction.  The finished time to build should be around one to two years.
