How much does new construction cost in Irvine?
New construction cost in Irvine is driven by the city's specific permit path, lot conditions, and California's Title 24 / CALGreen requirements. We publish a transparent Irvine-specific cost breakdown — including local fees, sitework, and structural upgrades — on the Irvine new construction cost page rather than a one-size-fits-all per-square-foot number.
