Who We Are

Cox Novak Construction is one of Orange County’s esteemed and longest-standing Custom Home building companies. Founded by Jim Cox in 1971, the company quickly established itself as one of the County’s Premiere Custom Home Builders. In 1984, John Cox, Jim’s twin brother took over the reins of the Company, and together, the brothers constructed some of the finest homes in Orange County. For the last 52 years, from San Clemente to Los Angeles and Newport Beach to Lake Arrowhead, Cox Novak Construction has showcased it’s Nationally-recognized, award-winning Custom Homes. From the 1990 Golden Nugget award to the 2010 Design Home of the Year, our team’s commitment to design, attention to detail and quality have been the hallmark of our Company, all of which have been memorialized in the archives of the Custom Home Industry. Hence, it’s no wonder, that Twenty, Thirty and Forty years later, Cox Novak Custom homes are still gracing the covers of many Home Magazines. We raised the bar when we built them and they continue to set a new bar when they are sold. Quality, Value, Customer Service and Integrity make up the four elements of our company’s cornerstone. In fact, our success is a very simple formula; Listen to the Home Owner, Understand the project, provide a realistic budget and time frame, ensure an environment for team work, provide a safe, organized, clean and secure work site, take full responsibility for the project and most importantly, don’t forget whose HOME it is. We accomplish all of that, not by chance, but by working with the best Architects and Engineers, suppliers and sub-contractors, and using the best materials and products for the project. We pass on to our homeowners, our buying power, our discounts and savings, our trade relationships, and our unmatched best practices. Please allow us to help you with your project. “LET’S GET STARTED” Sincerely, John Cox President
