Ground-up custom work concentrates in Newport Coast estate lots and waterfront rebuilds in Corona del Mar, Lido Isle, and Balboa Island. Nearly the whole city sits in the Coastal Zone, so new construction typically triggers a Coastal Development Permit, and gated communities like Newport Coast add homeowners association architectural review on top. Avorino has 7+ years of OC ground-up experience under General-B License #1107538 — single-family residences, multi-unit residential, small-format commercial, and ADU pairings on existing lots. Architecture, structural engineering, surveying, soils, permitting, construction, and the tiered warranty under one roof.
Coastal Development Permit (CDP) letters, view-line preservation, salt-air spec mechanical, and the Coastal Commission appeal window all carried in-house. Avorino schedules CDP review in parallel with city plan check so the overall window doesn't lengthen.
Architecture, structural engineer of record, soils + geotechnical engineer, surveyor, and Title-24 energy coordinated before drawings finalize. Drawings get to plan check the first time — not the third.
Newport Beach Building & Safety submittals, comment rounds, resubmittals, fees, and inspection scheduling — run through one office as a single coordinated track, comments resolved in writing.
Fixed-price design-build contract with line-item costs + written allowances. Real-time cost visibility during design phase; selection sign-off before construction; weekly progress reports through Certificate of Occupancy.

No published Newport Beach ground-up build yet — here's recent Avorino work from across Orange County.
“These are the best people in the business. I used Avorino to build my own ADU. They beat every single price I got and on top of that did an excellent job finishing it in no time. Truly the best of the best — highly recommended.”

What ground-up actually takes in Newport Beach.
Newport Beach permit reality
Avorino drafts the drawings for ground-up residential and small commercial against Newport Beach's published code. The variable is which plan checker draws your set and what they flag — the set is built for that, so comments resolve in one round where the city allows.
Newport Beach lot profile
It's a harbor-front, coastal-bluff city: flat bayfront and island lots near the water give way to the hillside bluffs of Newport Coast.

Plan on 16 – 26+ months from initial design through certificate of occupancy. The variance is permitting + soils + Coastal review, not vertical construction. We tell you on day one which side of that range your project lands on, and what would push it up.
Yes. Avorino coordinates the architect of record, structural engineer, soils + geotechnical engineer, and surveyor. You see one project schedule and one point of accountability; the consultants invoice Avorino directly. Coastal Commission CDP letters are part of the same package.
A tiered warranty — 1-year fit & finish, 4-year systems, 10-year structural — handled by us. The same Avorino on the phone after Certificate of Occupancy as before it.
