& Build.
UTES Design-Build is a Dallas-based firm delivering structural engineering, permit services, and full design-build solutions for residential and commercial projects across the DFW metroplex.
A full-service design-build team built for Dallas
UTES Design-Build brings together structural engineering expertise, permit management, and construction execution under one roof. Our integrated team handles every phase of your project — from initial zoning review and engineering drawings through permit approval and construction completion.
With over 200 completed projects and 25+ years of combined experience, we’ve built a reputation for delivering technically complex projects on time and on budget. We work across the full spectrum of residential and commercial construction — ADUs, multifamily housing, home additions, new builds, renovations, and commercial fit-outs.
“One team. One contract. Full accountability from permit to completion.”
Engineering first. Always.
Every UTES project starts with an engineering review before a single design decision is made. Structural integrity, code compliance, and long-term durability are the foundation — not an afterthought.
This engineer-first approach is particularly valuable for the complex project types we handle most: ADU construction navigating Dallas’s ADUO overlay requirements, multifamily conversions under the updated Dallas Development Code, and major additions requiring structural assessment of existing conditions.
Our team includes licensed Professional Engineers, a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), and experienced construction managers — giving every client the depth of expertise their project requires.
Licensed. Certified. Accountable.
Every structural engineering drawing produced by UTES is prepared and stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer. Our team holds the full credential set required for residential and commercial construction in Texas.
Full-service capabilities across every project type
UTES handles the complete range of residential and commercial design-build services. Engineering and permit services are also available as standalone — no construction contract required.
