Our Team
Smart. Strategic. Build-Ready.
At Xtraunit, design is more than aesthetics—it’s a technical, build-focused discipline. Our team brings together architects, engineers, and code experts who understand what it takes to deliver plans that are as practical as they are compelling. From initial concept to permit-ready documents, we design with construction in mind.
Whether it’s a multifamily building, ADU, or mixed-use site, we optimize every layout for real-world constraints like site conditions, city code, and your budget goals. Our process isn’t just creative—it’s calculated to perform.

What Sets Us Apart
14
years Experience
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
We don’t hand off. We integrate. Xtraunit’s design-build model means our architects and engineers work directly with our construction managers from day one. That collaboration ensures every drawing is efficient, cost-aligned, and ready to build.
With in-house experts across architecture, structural, MEP, and civil engineering, we reduce coordination errors and accelerate approvals. And because we know LA’s zoning codes and permitting pathways inside and out, we design for smooth submittals and fast RTIs.

Who We Serve
Our clients include developers, contractors, and public agencies who need efficient, code-compliant designs. Whether you’re building five units or fifty, we provide the technical insight and project awareness to move your plans from concept to approval, without surprises.
Design with Purpose
We believe good design should serve the project—not stall it. That means thoughtful space planning, smart systems coordination, and solutions that balance form, function, and ROI. At Xtraunit, we don’t just design to impress—we design to deliver.
