Orange New Construction Contractor
The only OC city built around a central plaza (The Circle), and home to the largest National Register historic district in California — roughly a square mile of Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Victorian homes preserved rather than demolished. To the east, Orange Park Acres is an unincorporated equestrian enclave and Santiago/Orange Hills carry larger view lots. Avorino builds throughout Old Towne Orange, Orange Park Acres, Santiago Hills, Orange Hills, and Mabury Ranch. Avorino's inland ground-up builds run lot survey → soils → drawings → city plan check → pad → framing → mechanical, electrical, and plumbing → finishes → Certificate of Occupancy. Tiered warranty in writing at handover; one roof throughout.7+ years of Orange County experience · 150+ completed projects · 4.8 Yelp average across 35+ reviews.

Custom work splits between historic-preservation-driven renovation and infill inside Old Towne's National Register district (strict design review to hold period character) and larger hillside and equestrian-lot builds in Orange Park Acres and Santiago Hills, where grading and rural-character standards shape the design. 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.
Single-family residential, multi-unit residential, and small-format commercial. Site prep, foundation, framing, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in, finishes, certificate of occupancy. Tiered warranty in writing at handover.
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.
Orange 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.

“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 Orange.
Orange permit reality
Avorino drafts the drawings for ground-up residential and small commercial against Orange'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.

Orange ground-up typically lands at $350 – $600 / sqft+ depending on lot complexity, finish level, and structural ambition. Avorino quotes a fixed-price design-build contract, the bid you sign is the bid you sign.
Plan on 12 – 18+ months from initial design through certificate of occupancy. The variance is permitting + soils, 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.
