Build Smarter. Build Faster. Build with Urbatect.
Thousands of homeowners across California trust Urbatect to handle everything under one roof — and now, we’re helping San Jose homeowners unlock the full potential of their properties with ADUs that are as beautiful as they are functional.
Detached ADU
A Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a standalone structure, built independently from your main house and any other buildings on your lot. This offers maximum privacy and flexibility, perfect for rental income, guest accommodations, a home office, or multi-generational living.
Attached ADU
While an Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) integrates with your existing home by sharing a wall, it’s important to understand its independent nature. Unlike a simple extension, an attached ADU operates as a self-contained living space with its own private entrance. This ensures clear separation and privacy between the main house and the ADU.
Garage Conversion / Junior ADU (J-ADU) / ADU Over Garage
Your garage holds untapped potential! Converting it into a self-contained living space is a smart way to add value and flexibility to your property. Often, garage conversions fall under the category of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). When this conversion stays within the existing footprint of your single-family home, it might be classified as a Junior ADU (JADU). JADUs often have specific size limitations set by local ordinances and can be a cost-effective way to create an independent unit for family, guests, or even rental income. We can help you navigate the possibilities and determine if a JADU conversion is the right fit for your needs.
Basement & In-Law Unit Transformations
Have an underused basement or an existing in-law unit in your home? These are prime candidates for Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversions! Let us help you reimagine these spaces into comfortable, self-contained living areas. Whether you need extra income, guest accommodations, or a solution for multi-generational living, we’ll handle the design and build process to create a valuable ADU that meets local requirements.

Great company to collaborate with. We've done several projects together. Things have gone exceptionally well. They've even worked on a high profile and discreet client's project and the process went incredible well.Posted on Ivan NikolaevTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UPDATE: The company reached out and entirely fixed the situation. Very happy to see how they handled the situation and how they went out of their way to make things right. I can for sure recommend them to anybody, as the most important thing in contractors is honesty and the integrity to communicate about mistakes with customers/vendors. Old review: Do NOT trust this company with your money or your project. We were hired by them for post-construction cleaning on an ADU project. We dropped everything to accommodate their rushed timeline and, two months later, still zero payment. Phone calls ignored, emails unanswered, texts read but no reply.Posted on ImmabjamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. great company! They had great designs…I cant wait to work with them again. great communication from their lead John! he was amazing!Posted on Brenda MitchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional and Detailed custom ADU non-detached. The project manager and his team are keeping us informed throughout the process with regular meetings, which is fantastic.
