We are currently in the process of getting our ADU built by Urbatect, and we just finished the design phase and submitted our plans to the city. Our experience with Urbatect has been very pleasant so far. First we met with Eric and he was very responsive and on top of everything. Tbh his attitude and customer service made us to go with Urbatect in first place. But Akanshka and Christoper in the design team have also very kind and professional. They listened to our needs and made sure that the ADU design met our preferences and needs.Posted on C FanslowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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.

Worked with Urbatect Development to build an ADU in backyard. They worked with us getting the price we wanted as well as including upgrades that were deal breakers for us.... read more I would highly recommend them as they were professional, prompt and extremely amenable to our 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.

We needed to complete an entire project for our home renovation and after I researched all over the internet, I found Eric and Urbatect. He was the first person I felt I could trust and actually cared about our project, our home, and our family. He always delivered everything on time and helped us understand the complicated world of home construction. There are a lot of scammers whose quotes seem to be much lower than the final bill, but not the case if you work with Urbatect. They know how to do the job right while taking care of their customers. You need to hire these guys!

My retired parents have an investment property in Santa Cruz county that required a ton of re-work due to molding and dry rot. Since we live oversees, we were looking for a company that could handle everything from dealing with the county, our property manager and the tenant. Urbatect came in with a very competitive price and timeline and really built rapport with my parents so we gave them the opportunity to do the job. The job went great as we were kept informed throughout the process of construction. We had excellent communication and the biggest take-away was that Urbatect did a fine job in keeping my parents informed and giving them piece of mind by sending them weekly photos and constant updates. Their project supervisor, Manny, was also great to do deal. Would recommend to anyone looking for quality work and great communication!

My family & I are so excited about our ADU project coming to reality! We are about to pour concrete on our 1,000SF ADU! The Urbatect team has been nothing but phenomenal from day one. From the design phase to permitting and until now during construction, everything has been amazing! For anyone looking for a team that’s very easy to work with and that cares, the Urbatect team is the one especially if you are building an ADU. They specialize in ADU builds! We are so looking forward to finalizing the job. Special thanks to David who has been holding our hand since day one!!!!

I hired Urbatect for my 1,645sf remodel in Watsonville. They did the design, permits and remodel itself. Initially things were a little rough as the city was delaying our approval and it took longer than expected and while it had a lot to do with COVID, we were still able to finish my remodel in a timely manner & as per the original schedule. This meant urbatect working weekends and extended hours and I am appreciative they kept their budget and timeline despite working hours outside of the contract. I am very happy with the process and the team and I love the finishes and the overall outcome of my remodel.

We are survivors of the 2020 Santa Cruz Lightning Complex fire whose home was completely destroyed. We will always be grateful to Eric and his hardworking team at Urbatect for their work to get our rebuilding project design completed and through permitting. Eric kindly rescued us when we were in a very difficult and complex situation with our complete home rebuild. Our original architect had backed out with most of the work for the permit submittal nowhere near completion. Urbatect prepared all of the permit submittal documents/plans required by Santa Cruz County very quickly, taking into account the direction of our Geotechnical engineer and the many State and Local building codes specific to the build site that made the project a challenge – Seismic Zone, Debris Flow Zone, Wildland Urban Interface, Title 24 etc. Most counties and design firms are unfamiliar with the specific requirements for a wildfire rebuild project. As homeowners, we had been very involved with the difficult process of influencing the County to provide clear and reasonable guidance on their expectations. It was critical that Urbatect was willing to collaborate with us to address the very specific requirements that we had learned through our interactions with the various County agencies involved. There are many horror stories among the fire victims – Urbatect rescued us from ours. We always felt they were being ethical and honest with us, they delivered and that was huge.
