Quick answer
Urban Building Concepts is a Palm Beach Gardens design-build firm that serves Tequesta homeowners with new home construction, whole-house remodels, room additions, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, outdoor living spaces, roofing and home repairs. Founded in 2006, the company runs each job through a concierge-style process, with design, budgeting and construction guided by one team.
Tequesta homes tend to be tied to their settings: the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal Waterway, fairways and mature landscaping.
Owners usually aren’t looking for a generic upgrade. They want work that suits the lot, respects the neighborhood and makes daily life easier.
That is how we approach every project. With more than 40 years of combined construction experience on our team, we plan carefully, communicate often and build to a standard we’d be comfortable living with ourselves.
What We Build and Renovate in Tequesta
New custom residences
If your lot deserves a home designed from scratch, we guide you through every stage, from early concept sketches to the day you get the keys. Floor plans are shaped around views, sun exposure, privacy and how your household actually lives.
Full-home transformations
Older Tequesta houses often have a great location but a layout that no longer works. We reconfigure rooms, modernize finishes, update aging components and uncover hidden problems early, so the home feels new without losing what drew you to it.
Additions that blend in
Need a bigger primary suite, a home office, a guest wing or a more generous family room? We design additions with matching rooflines, materials and proportions so the new space looks original.
Kitchen renovations
A good kitchen balances flow, storage and style. We plan the layout first, then layer in custom cabinetry, durable counters and finishes that hold up to real use.
Bathroom renovations
Tile craftsmanship is one of our priorities. Precise installation, confident design choices and quality fixtures turn a standard bathroom into a showpiece.
Pools and outdoor spaces
Along the river and around the golf courses, the yard is part of the home. We build pools, terraces and outdoor kitchens that extend your living area outdoors.
Roof work and ongoing repairs
From roof replacement to everyday repair needs, our trades keep your home in good condition after the big project is done.
Our Concierge Approach, Step by Step
Our process is designed to keep complex projects organized and decisions clear.
Initial conversation and site review
We learn what you want, review the property and discuss budget and timing.
Design coordination
Architectural intent, interior selections and site realities are aligned before work begins.
Transparent agreement
A detailed contract spells out scope, pricing and how changes are handled.
Approvals and scheduling
We assemble permit documents, coordinate with the local building authorities and sequence the trades.
Hands-on construction management
A supervisor oversees daily work, and you receive progress updates and photos along the way.
Final review and handoff
We inspect the finished work with you and make sure every detail is right before closing out.
What Makes Building in Tequesta Different
Every Florida town has its quirks. In Tequesta, these are the factors we plan around from day one:
Waterfront conditions
River & Intracoastal
Riverfront and Intracoastal properties may face elevation, flood-zone and drainage considerations that affect design and cost.
Village-scale neighborhoods
Setbacks & lot coverage
Setbacks, lot coverage and neighboring homes all influence what you can build and how it should look.
Storm resilience
Florida’s wind-load requirements shape structural details, roofing and the choice of impact-rated windows and doors.
Humidity, rain and salt exposure
Material selection and moisture control are essential for finishes that last in this climate.
Community rules
Many neighborhoods and associations require design approvals, contractor documentation and set working hours.
Part-time residents
If you split your year between Florida and elsewhere, our regular updates keep you involved without needing to be on site.

Tequesta Questions We Hear Most
How do I decide between renovating and rebuilding?
Compare the home’s structural condition, how well the layout fits your needs and what your lot allows. If the foundation and structure are sound, renovation often delivers the best value. If major systems, layout and structure all need replacement, rebuilding may be the more efficient path.
Do you work in Tequesta even though you're based in Palm Beach Gardens?
Yes. Tequesta is a short drive north of our office, and we serve it along with neighboring communities in northern Palm Beach County.
What affects the price of a renovation near the water?
Key drivers include flood-zone rules, finished floor elevations, structural changes, impact-rated openings, moisture-related repairs and the level of custom finishes. We outline these in the planning stage so your budget reflects reality.
Can I expand my home's footprint in Tequesta?
Frequently, but setbacks, lot coverage limits and height rules determine how much. We confirm these constraints before drawing plans.
How long does a typical remodel take?
A single kitchen or bathroom can take several weeks to a few months. A whole-home renovation commonly takes several months or more. Material lead times and permit processing are the biggest schedule variables.
Will I need to relocate while work is underway?
For extensive renovations, most owners choose to stay elsewhere temporarily. For smaller or well-contained projects, living at home can be manageable. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your scope.
What does design-build offer compared to hiring an architect and contractor separately?
A single team handles planning and construction, so budgeting, scheduling and design decisions stay connected. That typically means fewer surprises and quicker problem-solving.
Who takes care of permits and association paperwork?
We prepare and submit permit documents and gather the materials associations typically require, including insurance certificates and work schedules.
Can you run my project while I'm out of state?
Yes. We keep remote clients informed through regular communication and photo updates, so you can approve decisions without delays.
Is roof replacement something you can include in a larger project?
Yes. We handle roofing alongside renovations and additions, using knowledge of Florida roofing requirements.
