Orange County, CaliforniaGeneral contractor in Orange County
Your Orange County general contractor.
One licensed company, California General-B #1107538, carrying design, engineering, permits and construction across 37 Orange County cities. One roof to keys, at a fixed price, not a chain of subcontractors you'd manage yourself.
The role
What a general contractor should actually do.
A general contractor owns the build: schedule, budget, trades, permits and the finished result. Most of Orange County still splits that across an architect, an engineer, a permit expediter and a builder, and hands you the coordination. Avorino keeps it in one office: the same company draws, engineers, permits and builds your project, at a fixed price, backed by a tiered warranty. One point of accountability from the first sketch to the final inspection.

01 / The basics
What does a general contractor do?
A general contractor is responsible for the whole build: scheduling and managing every trade, pulling permits, coordinating inspections, controlling the budget, and delivering the finished result. Avorino also carries the design and engineering in-house, so there is one contract and one point of accountability instead of four.
Is Avorino a licensed general contractor in Orange County?
Yes. Avorino holds California State License Board General-B License #1107538 and is bonded and insured. Every project is contracted and built by Avorino, not brokered out to a rotating set of subs.
How is a design-build general contractor different from hiring an architect and builder separately?
Splitting it means you own the coordination and the gaps: the architect's drawing meets the builder's price only after you have paid for both, and change orders live in the seam. Design-build puts design, engineering, and construction on one contract, the price is set before you break ground, and the company that drew it is the company that builds it.
02 / Cost, coverage and permits
What does it cost to hire a general contractor in Orange County?
It depends entirely on scope. As reference: ADUs typically run $85K–$440K+, additions and renovations vary widely by size and finish, and ground-up custom homes start in the high six figures. Avorino quotes a fixed-price design-build contract after a scope review, so the number you sign is the number at the warranty handover.
What areas does Avorino serve as a general contractor?
Avorino works across 37 Orange County cities and communities: from the coast (Newport Beach, Laguna, Dana Point) through central OC (Irvine, Tustin, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana) to north county (Anaheim, Fullerton, Yorba Linda) and the south master-plans (Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch, Rancho Santa Margarita).
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Avorino runs every submittal, plan-check correction, and inspection through one office across all 37 OC cities. You sign once at the start; permitting and inspections run through us from there.
