We work with a wide range of Irvine homeowners and property investors. Growing families in Northwood and Westpark often need home additions or ADUs for aging parents or adult children. Empty nesters in Turtle Rock and University Park frequently downsize into custom-built tiny homes on the same property.
Investors in Cypress Village and Stonegate build ADUs to generate rental income under California’s updated accessory dwelling laws. Homeowners in Orchard Hills and Portola Springs come to us for kitchen and bathroom remodels that match their home’s original architectural style.

Nearly every Irvine village operates under an HOA with its own architectural review committee. We've submitted plans to dozens of these boards and know what triggers rejections. Getting this step wrong can delay your project by months.
Much of Irvine sits on expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture changes. We always recommend a geotechnical report before foundation design. Skipping this step often causes cracking and costly repairs down the road.

With Irvine's land values among the highest in Orange County, every square foot matters. ADUs and tiny homes let homeowners add living space or rental income without buying additional land. We help you get the most functional square footage your lot allows.

We prepare and submit all documentation to the City of Irvine and your HOA architectural committee. Our team tracks the process and responds to any requested revisions. Approval timelines vary but typically run 6-12 weeks.
