Custom Homes in Union City

Ground-up custom homes and teardown rebuilds, designed and built to last.

Looking for custom homes in Union City? ODL Construction is a licensed Bay Area general contractor serving Union City and the surrounding East Bay — from Decoto, Alvarado, New Park and beyond. Ground-up custom homes and teardown rebuilds, designed and built to last.

Building a custom home in the Bay Area is the ultimate project — and the one with the most ways to go wrong. Between hillside geotechnical requirements, design review, Title 24, and the sheer coordination of a ground-up build, it demands a builder who manages the whole thing as one disciplined process.

For Union City specifically, it comes down to local realities: Union City's value-oriented family market makes ADUs, garage conversions, and bedroom additions the projects with the strongest payoff per dollar. Union City supports ADUs and additions with a straightforward permit process; regular tract lots keep design and construction efficient. We design and permit your custom homes around exactly those conditions.
