Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website, services, and estimates provided by Urban Construction & Design Solutions ("Urban Construction," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing our website, requesting an estimate, signing a construction contract, or otherwise engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not use our services.

These Terms are in addition to, and do not replace, any written construction contract, proposal, or agreement signed between you and Urban Construction & Design Solutions for a specific project. In the event of a conflict, the signed project contract controls.

Last updated: May 28, 2026. We may revise these Terms at any time. Changes are effective when posted to this page with a revised date.

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal authority to enter into contracts. If you are acting on behalf of a business, corporation, trust, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

For property owners: you represent that you are the legal owner of the property or have written authorization from all owners to proceed with the work described in any estimate or contract.

All estimates, proposals, and quotes provided by Urban Construction are valid for 30 calendar days unless otherwise stated in writing. Prices are based on conditions visible or disclosed at the time of estimate and are subject to change if concealed conditions are discovered during construction.

Estimates are provided in good faith based on standard industry practices, current material costs, and our experience in the Long Beach and South Bay market. They do not constitute a binding contract until signed by both parties and supported by a written agreement.

We reserve the right to decline any project at our sole discretion, even after providing an estimate.

All construction work is performed under a written contract that complies with California Business and Professions Code Section 7159 (Home Improvement Contracts) and is signed by both parties before work begins.

Our contracts include:

• A detailed description of the work to be performed and materials to be used.
• A firm total contract price or a clear description of the basis for computing the price (time-and-materials, cost-plus, etc.).
• Payment schedule tied to completion milestones, in compliance with California's 10% down / progress-payment rules (B&P Code § 7159.5).
• Start and estimated completion dates, with provisions for delays due to weather, permit holdups, or owner-requested changes.
• Notice of your right to cancel within three business days, as required by California law.
• Our CSLB license number: CSLB Lic. #1030683.

A copy of the fully executed contract will be provided to you before any work begins.

Payment terms are set forth in your signed project contract. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, our standard terms are:

• A deposit not to exceed $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less, as required by California law.
• Progress payments tied to verified completion of specific milestones (e.g., foundation complete, framing complete, rough MEP complete, final finish).
• Final payment due upon satisfactory completion of the work and issuance of a Certificate of Completion or final inspection approval.
• Accepted payment methods: Cash, Check, Credit Card. Credit card payments may be subject to a processing fee.
• Late payments may incur interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by California law.

We may suspend work if payments are more than 14 days past due, after providing written notice.

Any changes to the scope of work, materials, or design after contract execution require a written Change Order signed by both parties. No verbal agreements or assurances modify the contract.

Each Change Order describes the revised scope, the cost impact (if any), and the schedule impact (if any). Work on a change does not begin until the Change Order is signed.

Concealed conditions (e.g., dry rot, asbestos, unpermitted prior work, soil issues) discovered during construction are handled through a Change Order or contingency allowance, as described in the contract.

Urban Construction will obtain all building permits required for the work described in the contract, unless otherwise agreed in writing. You are responsible for securing any HOA, historic preservation, or architectural review approvals that are not part of the municipal permitting process.

We schedule and coordinate all required inspections. You grant us and our inspectors reasonable access to the property during normal business hours.

You are responsible for disclosing any easements, encroachments, or property line disputes that may affect the work. We are not liable for delays or costs arising from undisclosed title or boundary issues.

All work is performed in compliance with the California Building Code, local amendments, and the specific plans approved by the city.

Urban Construction provides the following warranties in addition to any statutory protections:

• Workmanship Warranty: 2 years from the date of substantial completion on all labor and installation work.
• Systems Warranty: 1 year on mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems installed as part of the project.
• Manufacturer Warranties: Appliances, windows, roofing materials, and other manufactured products are covered by their respective manufacturer warranties, which pass through to you.
• Statutory Protections: Under California law, you have a 10-year statute of repose for latent (hidden) construction defects and a 4-year statute of limitations for patent (visible) defects.

Warranties do not cover damage caused by natural disasters, normal wear and tear, owner neglect, modifications by third parties, or failure to maintain the work as recommended.

To make a warranty claim, contact us in writing with photos and a description of the issue. We will inspect and remedy qualifying defects promptly.

Urban Construction carries General Liability insurance and Workers' Compensation insurance on all employees. Certificates of Insurance naming you as additional insured are provided upon request before work begins.

You acknowledge that construction involves inherent risks, including noise, dust, vibration, and temporary disruption of utilities. We take reasonable precautions to minimize these impacts, but you agree to hold us harmless for normal, unavoidable construction disturbances.

We are not liable for delays caused by force majeure events (fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic, government shutdown, material shortages beyond our control) or by your failure to make timely decisions or payments.

Our total liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the total contract price paid for the specific project, except for claims involving gross negligence or willful misconduct.

You grant Urban Construction, its employees, subcontractors, and inspectors access to the property during the construction period for the purpose of performing the contracted work.

We will take reasonable care to protect existing landscaping, driveways, and structures. However, you acknowledge that construction activity may cause incidental damage to grass, sprinkler lines, or hardscaping in the immediate work area. We will repair or replace such damage as part of the contract scope where practical.

Valuables, fragile items, and irreplaceable personal property should be removed from the work area before construction begins. We are not liable for loss or damage to personal property left in the construction zone.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or a construction contract shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days, either party may demand mediation.

Mediation will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, under the rules of a mutually agreed mediation service. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally.

If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days, either party may pursue binding arbitration or litigation in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

These Terms and any disputes are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

California law grants homeowners the right to cancel a home improvement contract within three (3) business days of signing, without penalty. This right is described in detail in every contract we provide.

Either party may terminate a project contract for material breach by the other party, subject to the notice and cure provisions described in the contract.

If you terminate without cause after the three-day cancellation period, you are responsible for payment for all work completed, materials ordered, and reasonable overhead up to the date of termination, as itemized in the contract.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

These Terms, together with any signed project contract, constitute the entire agreement between you and Urban Construction regarding the subject matter hereof.
