Design Services

At Urbatect, every plan is custom-crafted to fit your space, lifestyle, and budget—whether you’re building an ADU, a custom home, or an addition. Our licensed and experienced design team works hand-in-hand with our dedicated permit technicians to ensure every detail meets California’s complex local codes. With deep knowledge of city-specific requirements and a proven permitting process, we create plans that not only look great but get approved up to 25%-30% faster than the industry norm.

Project Management

Design can fall apart without expert execution—and that’s where professional project management comes in. At Urbatect, your project is led by seasoned professionals who manage timelines, budgets, permits, and inspections—so nothing slips through the cracks. With one dedicated point of contact, you’re never chasing updates or handling unexpected issues alone. For California homeowners, this means fewer delays, no surprise costs, and a seamless, stress-free experience from concept to completion.

Permit Submission & Coordination

Navigating California’s permit process is complex. That’s why we handle every step—from paperwork to final approval. Urbatect has dedicated in-house permit specialists who manage every step—submitting documents, coordinating with city officials, resolving corrections, and fast-tracking approvals. With deep knowledge of local codes across 150+ cities in California we help you avoid costly delays and get permits approved up to 30% faster. Stay informed without the hassle. Faster starts and peace of mind.

Feasibility Study

We offer standalone feasibility studies to help you understand exactly what’s possible on your property before committing to full design or permitting services. By analyzing local zoning regulations, building codes, site constraints, and utility access; and conferring directly with the city when needed—we provide a clear picture of your project’s potential. This early-stage assessment is often the smartest first step, giving you clarity and confidence before investing in plans or moving forward with a larger scope. A feasibility study is also typically the first step we undertake for any project involving design – whether it’s a custom home, ADU, addition, or deck.

Title 24 Compliance (Energy Compliance Services)

California’s energy codes are complex and constantly evolving. Urbatect’s licensed experts provide end-to-end Title 24 compliance services—ensuring your project meets the latest efficiency standards. From detailed energy reports to seamless coordination with MEP teams, we handle the technical heavy lifting. Whether part of a full build or a standalone need, we help California homeowners stay compliant, efficient, and ready to build without delays.

Landscaping Design

Design outdoor spaces that work as beautifully as they look. Design outdoor spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Our landscape design services focus on creating cohesive, visually striking outdoor environments that complement your home’s design and enhance livability. Whether it’s for a new build or a renovation, we thoughtfully plan plantings, hardscapes, layout, and usability—tailored to California’s climate, terrain, and water-efficiency standards. The result: well-designed outdoor spaces that elevate your lifestyle, boost curb appeal, and add lasting value to your property.

3D Visualization & Renderings

Our 3D renderings give you a highly realistic view of home layouts during the design phase of the project- long before construction begins. This helps you make confident design decisions early, avoid costly revisions, and ensure every detail matches your vision. For California homeowners, it’s a smarter way to plan with fewer surprises, better communication, and a clearer path from concept to completion. Get it right—before the plans are even filed for permit or construction begins.

I used Urbatect for the structural review of my renovation plans. Mayank and his team were very prompt with their work for any follow up that was needed by the city as well. Overall a great team to work with. Highly recommended!

Great group of guys to work with. Always following up and very patient with roadblocks along the way.
As I figured out how to design my first house and needed engineering plans for my drawings, they guided me through the process so I will be able to submit to the city for building permits. Will have more plans coming their way!

I had a consultation with Alex Zambrano regarding building an ADU. He was very knowledgeable and understanding. He frequently stopped and asked me what questions do I have during our meeting. Did not use confusing lingo to confuse me at all during our meeting either. He did not make me feel bad at all even though my intentions were purely information on potential future ADU on a future purchase of a home with a bigger lot. If everyone at Urbatect is as friendly and patient as Alex is, the. All your clients are in great hands!!!!
Response from the owner 05:54 09 Jul 24
Hi Amanda- Thank you for your feedback on Alex! We're thrilled he could assist with your ADU consultation and was straightforward and helpful. We aim to keep things clear and friendly for all our clients. Whenever you're ready to move forward, we're here to help!Best regards,The Urbatect Team
