Orange County Pool Builder

Custom Pool Builder in
Irvine, CA

Irvine is one of our busiest build areas — master-planned neighborhoods, contemporary homes, and backyards sized for real family use. Most of our Irvine projects are clean geometric pools with integrated spas, glass tile waterlines, and outdoor kitchens that extend the home's living space outside, all designed to pass the city's permit process and your HOA's design review on the first pass.

What makes Irvine different is the layer of HOA design review that sits between you and your permit. Nearly every village — from Woodbridge to Northwood, Portola Springs to Orchard Hills — has an architectural committee with its own submittal requirements, material standards, and timelines. We prepare HOA and city submittals in parallel so neither waits on the other.

Permitting & HOA

HOA Design Review & City Permits in Irvine

Irvine requires a city building permit for any pool, and nearly every village adds an HOA architectural review on top: plot plans, material boards, setback compliance, and sometimes neighbor notification. First-pass rejections are common when submittals are incomplete — we package everything the committee asks for up front.

We run HOA and city approvals simultaneously rather than sequencing them, which typically saves weeks. Once approvals land, most Irvine builds run 8–12 weeks from excavation to first swim.

Irvine Pool Building FAQs

Irvine HOA architectural review typically runs 2–6 weeks depending on the village and how complete the submittal is. The city permit runs in parallel. We prepare both packages together, which is why our Irvine projects don't stall waiting on one approval at a time.

Most custom gunite pools in Irvine fall between $60,000 and $120,000 depending on size, spa integration, and outdoor living scope. Adding an outdoor kitchen or extensive hardscape moves projects toward the top of that range.

Most restrict height, equipment placement, and material colors rather than pool shape. We design to your village's standards from the first draft so design review doesn't send the project back to the drawing board.

Once permits are issued, construction typically takes 8–12 weeks from excavation to plaster and startup, weather permitting. Plan on additional weeks up front for design, engineering, and HOA plus city approvals.
