## We Know How Orange Works

**Start with the local review process.** The City of Orange directs permit applications through its Civic Portal. We review the project scope and any property specific planning conditions before submission, including whether historic status affects proposed exterior work. See the [City of Orange Building and Safety](https://www.cityoforange.org/business/building-and-safety-services) for current information.

**Plan the interior before selecting finishes.** For your Orange kitchen or bathroom remodel, we review the layout, wall changes and proposed plumbing, electrical and ventilation work. We help coordinate the design and engineering needed for the agreed scope, including any required energy documentation.

**Bring the outdoor plan together.** A patio cover, outdoor kitchen, pool, spa or retaining wall needs to be considered with the site layout, drainage and utilities. We check the requirements for the proposed work before locking in locations and materials. For an ADU or addition, we also review how the new space connects to the existing property.

**One team through the next steps.** We help Orange homeowners move from design and engineering through permit coordination and construction. Applicable HOA approvals, city or county review and inspection stages are built into the project planning. Already have designs or plans? We can work with those, too.
