Building in Orange County

For a general contractor, Orange County is a challenging place. Architecture truly matters here; second-rate design just won't do. The character of our neighborhoods is ever-changing, and construction work must match the style of each. Plus, knowing the stringent building codes is as important as having a workforce and construction materials.

Still, there's no place that we would rather do business as a general contractor. Orange County-based Greater Pacific Construction knows that along with these challenges comes the opportunity to work with great clients and a fantastic landscape. The challenges are just part of the job, and we enjoy tackling them.

Read on to learn why building in our county is no time to hire an amateur.

Design and the General Contractor

Orange County architecture is trend-setting. That's why Greater Pacific Construction emphasizes design ascetic in everything it builds, whether it is a home, an office plaza, a shopping mall, or a restaurant.

As a general contractor, Orange County's architectural trends play a big role in our work. We stay up-to-date on the latest in construction throughout the city. Our constant stream of projects informs us about techniques and materials that are growing in popularity. That way, our work stays in style longer.

When Greater Pacific completes a project, we feel that we are doing more than just serving our client. We believe we are adding beauty to our area's historic landscape.

Addressing Climate as a General Contractor

Orange County-based projects must not only fit the style and tastes of the area; they also have to take into account the county's climate and terrain. Builders who do not know the temperament of our region are not building to last.

For instance, take an ocean-view property. Greater Pacific Construction knows how to build for the unique soil of our beaches. It understands the challenges that wind, weather, and time will present to the structure, and it ensures that the final build is properly weather-proofed.

In short, our experience lets us do the job better.

Building Code Challenges

Construction projects in our area face extremely strict building codes, and inspectors enforce these codes more regularly than in other areas of the country.

For example, Greater Pacific Construction has specialties that include work as a remodeling contractor. Orange County homeowners or businesses might think that updating their space with a remodel will require minimum time and effort.

However, our company knows that even a basic remodel must follow specific building codes. The builder must be knowledgeable in order to keep projects in compliance, avoid delays, and sidestep costly demolition and redos.

To some, these challenges might be too much: restrictive building codes, a desire for trend-setting design, and a demand for construction that fits our area. Not Greater Pacific. Meeting these challenges drives us to deliver higher quality services for our clients. We invite you to learn more about our work.

Home Remodeling and Construction in California:

Virtually homes and apartments have space limitations or unusual shapes. The locations of building wiring, plumbing, structural elements, and other fixed features often pose design challenges.

Creative and sophisticated thinking, combined with in-depth knowledge of city codes and building regulations, are essential to solving these challenges and designing to the maximum potential of your space.

The first decision you may have to make is whether to hire an architect. In general, if you plan to make an addition to the building, or alter or relocate structural elements such as beams or supporting walls, you will have to obtain architectural plans. These will then be filed with building department to obtain a building permit. Major relocations of gas lines or building plumbing also require permits.

If the alteration is less severe and does not require architectural plans, a properly licensed contractor can do the filing for you. If you are simply remodeling without changing the locations of gas lines, plumbing, or any structural elements, then you won't need to file with the building department.

Most do not require filing with the building department. But in all cases, your contractor must provide you with insurance coverage, a written job description and contract, and any other documentation that your building may require.

A design/build firm such as ours has the skilled professionals to do everything you need in-house, from of all details.

For your own enjoyment, and also for re-sale value, the most important room to remodel is your kitchen. More and more, the kitchen is becoming the focus for gatherings of friends and family. If you are only planning to remodel your kitchen, you can jump ahead to our "Kitchens" page for a complete description of that renovation process.

The second most significant room to remodel is your bathroom. The process is fairly similar to a Kitc kitchen except, instead of appliances, more plumbing is required. As with the kitchen, you will need to select the items to be installed before the work can begin. For all your selections, we make your shopping easy, informative, and complete.

Don't overlook the added value of custom built-ins in other rooms of your home. Think for a moment about some exquisite homes you may have seen. The traditional ones have wainscot paneling, fine wood bookcases and furniture, coffered ceilings, and other built-ins that make these homes so elegant and valuable.

Contemporary homes are best enhanced by a careful selection of materials, stains, paint colors, and finishes to create richness with minimal decor.

Whether your taste is traditional, contemporary, or in-between, value always shows in the quality and finishes of the materials you choose. To assure your complete satisfaction, we do all the specifying in-house and we carry though on the fabrication, delivery, and final details of installation on all the custom products you would like.
