One design-build team for the whole of Orange County
DYM Builders Group plans, designs and builds homes across Orange County from our headquarters at 2372 Morse Ave. #987, Irvine, CA 92614. The drawings come from Arch by DYM (Arch by DYM), and the construction is done by DYM’s own in-house teams, so the people who plan your project and the people who build it work under one roof.
Orange County is not one market. A hillside remodel in Laguna Beach, an addition that needs association approval in Mission Viejo and an older house in Fullerton each start from different rules. Below you will find how we approach each part of the county, the projects we have finished here and the page for your city.
The coast, from Seal Beach to Dana Point
Along the shore, in Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point, two things shape almost every project. Much of this strip lies in the California Coastal Zone, so some additions, rebuilds and ADUs need coastal review on top of the normal building permit. And salt air is hard on exterior hardware and finishes, so material choices matter more than they do a few miles inland.
Our coastal work includes a new home in Newport Beach built around its views, custom-made windows and indoor-outdoor living, a bathroom remodel in Dana Point and an interior design project in Seal Beach. Our team has also completed hillside projects in Laguna Beach, where slopes add engineering and access questions to the design.
Central and south county: planned communities and HOA review
Inland, much of Irvine, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills and Aliso Viejo was built as planned communities. Many homes sit inside a homeowners association that reviews exterior changes such as windows, additions, ADUs and hardscape, while interior work mainly goes through the city’s building permit. We prepare drawings for both reviews.
Homeowners in these communities often want to open a kitchen to the family room, bring original bathrooms up to date or update a whole tract home at once. Examples include a kitchen remodel in Irvine, complete home remodels in Lake Forest and Mission Viejo, a bathroom remodel in Costa Mesa and residential design work in Tustin. Costa Mesa, Tustin, Santa Ana and Fountain Valley complete the center of the county.
North county: established neighborhoods and room to build
In Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton and Yorba Linda, many neighborhoods are older, and many lots have the backyard space an ADU or an outdoor living area needs. Older houses also mean a remodel can uncover original plumbing or wiring that has to be planned for.
In Anaheim we turned an empty backyard into a two-bedroom, two-bath ADU of nearly 700 square feet with its own full kitchen, documented in our Anaheim ADU case study. In Fullerton we carried out a complete home remodel built on clean lines, wood and marble textures, and in Yorba Linda a home remodel that added smart storage to a smaller kitchen. Nearby, in Villa Park, we produced a landscape design for a home.
Every Orange County project starts with one conversation, wherever you live
We start by listening to what you want to build, then Arch by DYM turns it into plans and our team prepares what your city, the county or your association needs to see. Our construction department is kept deliberately small, so we limit how many builds run at the same time and each one gets close attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which DYM office handles projects in Orange County?
Our headquarters at 2372 Morse Ave. #987, Irvine, CA 92614 runs every Orange County project, from the first consultation to the final inspection. Projects in Los Angeles County are handled by our Los Angeles office, and our Texas work is run from Dallas.
Do you take projects in unincorporated areas such as Coto de Caza?
Yes. We have completed a landscape design in Coto de Caza. In unincorporated communities the permit comes from the County of Orange rather than from a city, and many neighborhoods there also have their own association review, so we plan for both from the start.
Can you remodel a home in Laguna Woods Village?
Yes, Laguna Woods is part of the area we cover from this page. Many homes in the Village are co-op or condominium units managed by a mutual, such as Third Mutual or United Mutual, and alterations usually need the mutual’s approval before the city permit. We have not published a Laguna Woods project yet; nearby, see our work in Lake Forest.
Who designs the project, and who builds it?
Design and planning are done by Arch by DYM, and construction by our in-house teams rather than subcontractors. Because both stages stay under one roof, what is decided on the drawings carries straight through to the job site.
My city is not listed above. Do you still work there?
Probably. Our published service area is not limited to the cities with their own pages, and it also names places such as Brea, Buena Park, Cypress, La Habra, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Placentia, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and Westminster. In Buena Park, for example, we have completed a bathroom remodel and an interior design project.
