Our Design-Build Approach For San Diego County Homeowners
Consultation & Site Visit
Every project in San Diego County begins with a discussion. We connect with you to understand your vision whether it’s an ADU, home addition, custom home, or site improvements. During the site visit, we review your property together, explore ideas, and outline what’s feasible based on local regulations and site conditions. You’ll gain clear guidance, practical insights, and a team focused on simplifying the process from the start. We then provide a detailed, well-defined proposal aligned with your goals.
Design Services
After aligning on your goals, our design and project management team develops plans tailored to your space, preferences, and budget. You stay involved throughout the process, with 3D visuals to help you understand the layout before construction begins. By coordinating design decisions early, we help minimize revisions and keep the project on track.
Permitting Services
Our permitting team manages the entire approval process, from documentation to coordination with the city. We handle submissions, follow-ups, and revisions to keep things progressing efficiently. You stay informed at each stage while we take care of the details behind the scenes.
Construction Services
Once construction begins, a dedicated project manager and experienced crew oversee the build from start to finish. We manage scheduling, materials, and inspections to maintain quality and consistency. With ongoing updates and clear communication, you will always know how your project is progressing.

After speaking with several construction companies on getting a permitted ADU built at a property, Urbatect seemed to be the most organized and reasonable in terms of timeline, quality, and... read more cost. Special mention to John Soliz who gave a detailed explanation of the project timeline and really convinced me Urbatect was the right company for my needs. Also, the design project manager Akanksha has been amazing. Akanksha has been timely in getting different steps of the drawings/plans/permits finished and provided me with regular updates and additional information to keep me informed. I look forward to the construction phase and plan to update my review on that part of the process when it is finished.

I worked with Urbatech to plan the construction of an detached ADU in the backyard of my home. I had contacted several ADU construction companies to discuss the process... read more and cost. I found Urbatech to be the very best. My sales consultant, John Stoliz, was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable, patient, a great listener and was very customer focused. He carefully guided my wife and I through the planning process working closely with his team to develop a plan for construction that met our needs. We asked numerous questions and John always responded and did an outstanding job of informing/coaching us on how best to proceed based on our needs. John was always patient with us. We never felt rushed or under pressure to sign a contract. I enjoyed working with John and his team. Outstanding group. I found their pricing to be very competitive as well. I would highly recommend Urbatech for your ADU needs.

I was in a panic. I have been trying for 5 months to simply put in a window through hcd because I have a manufactured home. Endless delays. After being... read more told I could do a quick sketch and attach it to an email to get my permit, I was told that yet again the inspector wanted something else. An engineering stamp. I've put in Windows before and manufactured homes and never had to do this. Plus it was going to cost me $500. I almost think it is because I'm a retired widow. A person I contracted with said he knew someone and of course I didn't hear a word. So I just went out on my own and found Urbatect.com. I formulated a rather verbose text and thought I would probably not hear back from them. To my shock, I got a return email immediately. Not only that they also immediately provided an engineering stamp. I couldn't believe the fast service. Such a relief and I pray I can put my stupid window in at long last. I just moved to Paso Robles and I've been living with this wall in front of me all this time and the new window leaning on it waiting to go in. It's been driving me crazy! Thank you to this accommodating business that no doubt has many more important things to do than my engineering stamp! THANK YOU AGAIN
A MILLION TIMES OVER.

Although there was some variability in the people I worked with as a client to Urbatect, I'm going to focus my evaluation on the outstanding engineer I worked with, Jay.... read more He was definitely a bright spot in our experience with Urbatect. He was very competent and responsive. My particular build was an unusual build in that it combined mixing an 1800s barn structure with a modern, traditional framing to meet code. Jay did a great job of working with the two types of build. There were a few details that the builder needed that didn't seem to be in the plans but Jay has always been excellent about responding to those issues in a timely way. It was especially impressive because the build has been happening over time (still on-going), but Jay always seems familiar with the details. He definitely reflected a combination of friendliness and expertise. If you become a client of Urbatect, I highly recommend him as your engineer for your structural plans.
