About Murray Lampert

Murray Lampert: San Diego's Trusted ADU Builder Since 1975

Murray Lampert has been a cornerstone of San Diego home remodeling since 1975. As a family-owned design-build company, they bring over 50 years of hands-on experience to every project. Their team of skilled designers, architectural designers, and builders is dedicated to delivering high-quality accessory dwelling unit solutions tailored to the unique needs of each homeowner.

As a leading ADU contractor in San Diego, Murray Lampert takes a comprehensive design-build approach — managing every phase of the project from initial consultation and design through to construction and final completion. This streamlined process eliminates the need to coordinate multiple contractors and ensures consistent quality and communication from start to finish.

Their portfolio includes a wide range of ADU projects, including granny flat builds, in-law suite construction, and garage conversion projects.

Custom ADU Designs Built Around Your Family's Needs

Murray Lampert understands that every family has different goals and requirements. Their design team works closely with clients to capture their vision, whether that means a compact and efficient space or a more spacious and luxurious suite. Detailed 3D renderings are provided to help homeowners visualize the final result and make well-informed decisions throughout the process.

As a dedicated granny flat builder, Murray Lampert designs spaces with multigenerational living in mind. Their ADUs are crafted to provide safe, stylish, and functional environments for aging parents, extended family members, or guests. For those planning ahead for aging in place, their team incorporates thoughtful safety and accessibility features, including:

  1. Grab bars and non-slip flooring
  2. Wide doorways for wheelchairs and walkers
  3. Accessible bathrooms
  4. Home entrances without steps
  5. Lower kitchen cabinets and adjusted electrical outlets
  6. Emergency alert system compatibility
  7. Stairway safety and elevator options

Beyond aging in place, in-law suites built by Murray Lampert offer tremendous flexibility. They can serve as a private space for guests, a fitness room, an arts or craft studio, an entertaining area, or simply additional living space for a growing family. The added square footage also provides a meaningful boost to the overall value of the home.

Murray Lampert places a strong emphasis on high-quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship. From durable flooring and premium fixtures to custom cabinetry and countertops, they select products built to last. Their skilled craftsmen pay close attention to every detail, ensuring each accessory dwelling unit is flawlessly executed.

Planning Your ADU: Key Considerations

Before beginning an ADU project in San Diego, Murray Lampert encourages homeowners to think carefully about their long-term goals. Will the space serve as a rental property, a suite for a parent, or a recreational area? Identifying a five-to-ten-year plan allows their team to design and construct the space with future needs in mind, ultimately saving time and money during the construction process.

As an established ADU builder with decades of local experience, Murray Lampert is well-equipped to guide homeowners through every consideration — from zoning and permitting to design choices and safety features. Their design-build model ensures a seamless, stress-free experience from the very first conversation to the final walkthrough.

"We've been working with Murray Lampert as a roofing subcontractor for several years now, and the relationship weve built is truly something special, they treat you like a true partner. From day one, their team has been organized, respectful, and genuinely committed to doing things the right way. Communication is always clear, the job sites are wellmanaged, and they consistently create an environment where every trade can succeed. It makes showing up to work not just easy, but enjoyable. What I appreciate most is the trust weve built over the years. They value our expertise, they follow through on their word, and they care about the quality of every project with real pride. Its rare to find that level of integrity and consistency. Im grateful for the years weve worked together and look forward to many more projects with the Murray Lampert team.

"We hired Murray Lampert almost 9 years ago to do a major remodel entire first floor down to the studs and into the ground for new supports, removing a load bearing beam and putting in I-beams to distribute the load; moved the kitchen and all the piping to the other side of the house, etc.. Couldn't be happier with the results and workmanship. Project was done on-time and on-budget. We still enjoy the results every day with our new open space design."

"The team at Murray Lampert is one of the best not just in San Diego, but in the entire country. They are professional, organized, and the design team is outstanding. When I think of a well run operation that is going to put the homeowner first, it is the team at MLDBR. I can't recommend them enough!"

"We engaged Murray Lampert to undertake a pretty major expansion of our existing home that took upwards of 10-12 months to complete. It was a pleasure working with the entire team from the designarchitecture staff, project manager, their trade partners and company ownership. We love the finished product and they were always responsive and flexible in addressing issues during the process. They take every customer small and large seriously."
