Interior Architecture and Design with Meghan Yang

If you’re looking to renovate a new property the first step is to visit your city’s zoning department and discuss your preliminary plans. This will give you an idea of your area’s zoning requirements and limitations, so you can make realistic plans for your home.

If you're looking to start from scratch and rebuild your home, your first call should be to a reputable architect, if you're having trouble finding one you can ask a contractor to refer one, or you can ask the city for their recommendations. Your architect will walk you through every step of the process and serve as a liaison between you and the city planning department, which is why it's important to hire an architect that has a working relationship with the city.

I hope this helps demystify the home renovation process and if you have any questions regarding Orange County real estate, I’m here for you!
