Berkeley General Contractor
Atlas General Construction (License #1059664) is a trusted partner for Berkeley homeowners who want more than a contractor—they want a team that can navigate complexity with calm, clarity, and craftsmanship. From historic-minded renovations to modern additions and ADUs, we deliver structured execution that respects both design intent and the realities of older housing stock.
We deliver a “Silicon Valley Standard” of construction: efficient, data-driven, and defined by a “zero-silence” communication model.
What Our Clients Say
Building in Berkeley Requires Structural Foresight
Commercial & Tenant Improvements
Brand Prestige with Technical Precision
In the heart of Silicon Valley, commercial spaces must be both agile and compliant. Atlas provides high-spec build-outs for boutique retail, restaurants, and professional studios.

Mastering the Palo Alto Regulatory Ecosystem
Navigating Palo Alto’s building codes is a cornerstone of the Atlas Advantage. We proactively manage local ordinances to keep your project on schedule and in compliance.
- The “Substantial Remodel” Rule: We are experts in the 50/50/50 rule, which triggers an all-electric mandate when more than 50% of exterior walls or roof framing is replaced.
- Tree Protection (Sheet T-1): In Palo Alto, project approval often hinges on a “Tree Protection” plan. Our architect partners include these critical documents in our plan sets to prevent delays at intake.
- Noise Ordinance Compliance: We strictly adhere to Palo Alto’s construction hours (8 AM – 6 PM weekdays) and the 110 dBa noise limit at the property line to maintain positive neighborhood relations.
