Quick answer
Urban Building Concepts is a design-build company with its office in neighboring Palm Beach Gardens. It builds new homes and carries out remodels, additions, kitchen and bath updates, pool and outdoor projects, roofing and repairs for North Palm Beach homeowners. The company has worked in Palm Beach County since 2006, and it has built homes in North Palm Beach itself.
North Palm Beach is a village shaped by water.
Canals, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Lake Worth Lagoon influence where homes face, how they are raised, and how people spend their evenings. A good project here starts with the water and the lot, then works inward to the floor plan.
We know this market firsthand. Our company has built homes in the village, and our team brings more than 40 years of combined construction experience to each job. We aim to give owners a project that is easy to follow, whether it is a single room or an entire residence.
What We Do for North Palm Beach Homeowners
Building a new home
We design and build residences around the lot’s frontage, sun path and views. Our recent spec homes in North Palm Beach, including contemporary Intracoastal-oriented properties, show how we approach indoor-outdoor living on local sites.
Giving a dated house a new life
Mid-century and later homes here often have a great location and an awkward interior. We rework floor plans, replace worn finishes and systems, and fix concealed issues so the house feels current and functions smoothly.
Adding rooms or a second level
When a household outgrows its footprint, we plan additions that match the existing roofline, window rhythm and materials so the result looks cohesive.
Remodeling kitchens
We begin with how you cook, host and move through the space, then select cabinetry, counters and finishes to support those habits.
Remodeling bathrooms
Tile installation is where we take the most care. With the right fixtures and bold design choices, a bathroom can become one of the best rooms in the house.
Building pools and outdoor rooms
Docks, decks and pool areas are part of everyday life on the water. We create outdoor spaces that connect naturally to the home and the view.
Handling roofs and repairs
Our trades replace and repair roofs and take care of routine upkeep, so you have one call to make when something needs attention.
How We Guide a Project
Our concierge design-build method breaks a big undertaking into manageable stages.
First meeting and lot review
We talk through your wishes and walk the property, noting elevation, orientation and waterfront conditions.
Design coordination
We align architecture, interiors and site factors so questions are answered before construction begins.
Contract and scope
You receive a thorough written agreement that explains what is included, how it is priced and how changes work.
Permits and sequencing
We prepare permit documents, coordinate with the village and county as needed, and line up trades.
Construction oversight
A project supervisor tracks quality and schedule, and we share progress photos and updates.
Closing walkthrough
Together we review the finished work, finish inspections and hand over your home.
Building Near the Water: What We Plan For
Flood zones and elevation
Village lots
Many village lots sit in designated flood zones, which can influence finished floor heights, foundation design and how extensive a renovation is allowed to be.
Canal and shoreline factors
Seawalls & docks
Seawalls, docks and drainage affect both the site plan and the budget, so we assess them early.
Wind and storm performance
Florida’s structural standards guide roof attachment, framing and the choice of impact-rated windows and doors.
Salt, sun and humidity
We choose corrosion-resistant hardware, appropriate exterior finishes and moisture-control strategies to keep homes in good condition.
Lot size and setbacks
Village lots can limit how much you can add, so we confirm allowable footprint before design begins.
Snowbird schedules
For owners who split time between Florida and elsewhere, our regular reporting keeps the project moving.

North Palm Beach Homeowner FAQs
Is it more cost-effective to renovate or to rebuild a waterfront home?
Renovation generally costs less when the structure is sound, while rebuilding can be wiser when layout, elevation and systems all fall short. A site review that considers flood requirements and your goals will show which approach fits.
Do builders in Palm Beach Gardens work in North Palm Beach?
Yes. The two communities are neighbors, and our firm has built homes in North Palm Beach as well as renovated existing ones.
How do flood-zone rules affect a remodel?
They can influence how high a home must sit, what materials are used below flood level and whether a large renovation triggers upgrades to the whole structure. Reviewing the property’s flood designation early helps avoid surprises.
Can I add square footage to a village lot?
Often, but setbacks, lot coverage and height limits set the ceiling. We check those rules before designing anything.
How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
A typical single-room remodel runs several weeks to a few months. Custom cabinetry, stone and special-order fixtures are the usual schedule drivers, so ordering them early helps.
What does a major renovation look like in terms of timing?
Whole-home projects commonly take several months. Some clients have seen major renovations reach final inspection in about three months, though larger scopes take longer.
Should I move out while the work is underway?
For a single room, many owners stay. For multi-room renovations or projects touching the kitchen and bathrooms together, moving out temporarily is usually easier. We’ll suggest what suits your scope.
What is the benefit of design-build for a canal-front home?
One team handles planning and construction, so site conditions, budget and design choices stay connected. That reduces the back-and-forth that can occur between separate designers and builders.
Can you manage a project if I'm only in Florida part of the year?
Yes. We provide frequent updates with photos, which lets remote owners review progress and make decisions on time.
Do you handle roof replacement along with other work?
Yes. Roofing can be scheduled alongside renovations or additions, which helps coordinate trades and protect finished work.
