Quick answer
Urban Building Concepts is a Palm Beach Gardens design-build company with its office on Riverside Drive. Since 2006, it has built custom homes and completed renovations, additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, pool and outdoor projects, roofing and repairs for homeowners in the city and throughout northern Palm Beach County.
When your builder is based in the same city as your project, a lot gets easier.
Site visits are quick, supplier and trade relationships are close by, and the team already knows how local neighborhoods, associations and permitting offices work. For us, Palm Beach Gardens is a home market, not a service area on a map.
We have worked in this community for 20 years, and our team has more than 40 years of combined construction experience. That history shapes how we plan, price and build every project.
Home Building and Remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens
Custom homes
We build new residences for lots in golf communities, along the water and in established neighborhoods. Each plan starts with the site and your priorities, then develops into a home with its own character, not a repeat of a builder’s catalog.
Spec homes
We also build move-in-ready homes in the local market, including waterfront-oriented properties in Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach. They show what our craftsmanship looks like at the finish line.
Whole-home renovations
Many Gardens homes have excellent locations and solid foundations but interiors that no longer fit. We rework layouts, upgrade finishes, replace aging components and address concealed problems so the house performs as well as it looks.
Additions
If you love your neighborhood but need more room, we design additions that tie into the existing structure so the home looks unified.
Kitchens and bathrooms
These rooms get daily use and attract close attention. We put emphasis on layout, cabinetry, surfaces and precise tile installation.
Pools and outdoor living
South Florida’s climate makes outdoor space a year-round extension of the house. We build pools, covered patios and entertaining areas that suit both the home and the lot.
Roofing and repairs
Our trades also handle roof replacement, roof repair and general home maintenance, which is convenient when a repair is urgent or a larger project reaches the roofline.
A Process Built Around Clarity
Our concierge design-build approach is meant to make large projects easier to understand and easier to manage.
Discovery
We explore your goals, style and budget, and look closely at the property.
Design integration
Architectural, interior and site considerations are aligned before construction.
Detailed agreement
The contract defines scope, pricing and how changes are handled.
Permitting and scheduling
We prepare submittals, work with local approval bodies and coordinate trades.
Supervised construction
A project supervisor monitors the work daily, and we provide updates throughout.
Final walkthrough
We inspect the finished project with you and complete close-out.
What's Particular About Building in Palm Beach Gardens
Community approvals
Golf & gated communities
Many neighborhoods, including golf and gated communities such as PGA National, BallenIsles and Mirasol, have architectural review boards and contractor rules, so we plan around those requirements from the start.
Water-adjacent properties
Intracoastal & canals
Lots near the Intracoastal Waterway and local canals can carry flood-zone and elevation requirements.
Wind and weather standards
Florida’s structural requirements affect roofs, openings and framing, particularly in a hurricane-prone region.
Humidity and heat
Materials, ventilation and moisture control are chosen for long-term performance.
Homes of different ages
The city includes everything from older ranch-style homes to recent luxury builds, and each age group calls for a different renovation approach.
Part-year residents
Many owners are away for months at a time, so our update routine is built to keep remote clients involved.

Palm Beach Gardens Homeowner FAQs
Who builds custom homes in Palm Beach Gardens?
Several firms do. Urban Building Concepts is one that is based in the city, with an office on Riverside Drive, and has built custom homes and renovations locally for about 20 years.
Is it better to remodel or build new in the Gardens?
It depends on the condition of the house and the value of the lot. Remodeling usually costs less when the structure is sound, while rebuilding makes sense when layout, systems and structure all fall short of your goals. A site review will help determine which path suits you.
Do I need HOA approval before starting construction?
In most gated and golf communities, yes. Associations commonly require submitted plans, contractor insurance documentation and compliance with set work hours. We help assemble these materials.
How much does a luxury kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?
Costs vary widely with size, layout changes, materials and custom work. A written scope after an on-site assessment is the most reliable way to see an accurate figure for your home.
How long do major renovations usually last?
Whole-home projects often take several months, and some clients have seen major renovations completed in roughly three months from start to final inspection. Complexity, permits and material lead times are the main variables.
Can I stay in my home during a remodel?
For limited work such as one bathroom, usually yes. For larger projects involving the kitchen and multiple rooms, temporary relocation is often more practical. We advise based on your scope.
What does a concierge design-build program include?
It combines design guidance and construction under one team, from early planning through completion. The aim is to keep decisions organized and reduce the coordination gaps that can arise between separate firms.
Can you build or renovate on a waterfront lot?
Yes. Waterfront work requires attention to flood-zone rules, elevation, drainage and moisture-resistant materials. We review these factors during planning so there are no surprises later.
Do you work with owners who are out of town for long periods?
Yes. Regular photo updates and prompt communication let remote clients approve decisions and follow progress without being on site.
Can you replace my roof as part of a larger project?
Yes. Roofing can be included in a renovation or addition, which helps protect new work and keeps trades coordinated.
