Plan Check in Orange County

  • Each Orange County city runs its own plan check; unincorporated areas go through OC Public Works.
  • Most jurisdictions require a full lateral analysis package with the drawing set on any addition or new structure.
  • Coastal cities apply higher wind exposure categories — we set exposure per the actual site, not a default.

Local Design Conditions

  • Seismic Design Category D/E detailing depending on proximity to the Newport-Inglewood fault zone.
  • Hillside and slope-adjacent lots typically require additional foundation and retaining detail.
  • Soils reports are commonly required before structural foundation design is accepted.
