Inside the magazine (4)

Built by builders, not marketers.

Every story in the magazine is written from a permit set, a budget, and a finished project — not from a Pinterest board. We publish the numbers we'd want to see before signing on a build: square footage, finished cost per sqft, timeline including permit, and the things that surprised us during construction.

01 Featured projects

Detached ADUs in Aliso Viejo, garage conversions in Mission Viejo, JADUs in Irvine. Each project includes plan, finish board, real cost, and the permit timeline we actually hit — not the marketing one.

02 Plan samples

Three signature Avorino ADU plans — Bellecielo, Casielo, and Elega — with full plan walkthroughs, room-by-room renderings, and the price range each lands in across OC.

03 Cost + financing

Real cost breakdowns by ADU type and city, plus our partner financing pathways (cash-out refi, HELOC, dedicated ADU construction loans). The same numbers we hand clients at the first meeting.
