Who we are

A luxury residential builder, on the Peninsula

We specialise in high-end custom homes, boutique residential developments, multi-family construction and transformative renovations throughout the San Francisco Peninsula and Bay Area.

That range is the point. The same team that builds a five-bedroom custom home in Los Altos also delivers a sixteen-unit townhome community in Sunnyvale, which means the standard set on a private residence is the standard applied to every unit in a development.

Behind every extraordinary home is a builder who refused to compromise.

What we build

Six ways we get hired

01

Custom homes

Ground-up single-family homes on Peninsula lots, from lot analysis and entitlement through final walkthrough. We build the house you designed, not the one that fits our crew's habits.

02

Multi-family & townhomes

Boutique communities of eight to sixteen units, delivered as one coherent address. We have built 36 townhomes and multi-family residences across Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Redwood City.

03

ADUs & junior ADUs

Attached, detached and junior ADUs, permitted and finalled. Los Altos records show our detached ADU at 771 Jordan Avenue and a 500 square foot junior ADU on Beverly Lane.

04

Whole-home renovation

Transformative renovations for homes that are structurally sound but functionally stuck: walls moved, ceilings opened, systems replaced, finishes brought up to today.

05

Kitchens & baths

The two rooms that decide how a house feels. Cabinetry, stone, plumbing and lighting sequenced so the room lands the way it was drawn.

06

Design-build coordination

We work alongside your architect, designer and structural engineer from early drawings so that constructability, cost and schedule are settled before anyone breaks ground.

Selected work

Three of eight documented projects

Every project below is ours, with the real address, the real unit count and photography of the finished building.

Los Altos, California

520 Benvenue Avenue

A modern single-family home built with an accessory dwelling unit on an 8,162 square foot Los Altos lot. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a main floor organised around long sight lines and glass that pulls the garden into the living space.

771 Jordan Avenue

A 4,540 square foot residence with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, plus a separately permitted detached ADU (Los Altos permit BLD22-01182, finalled in 2024). Flat rooflines, deep overhangs and a street elevation built around privacy.

Carroll Commons

Sixteen Mediterranean-styled three-storey townhomes a short walk from downtown Sunnyvale, each with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. Kitchens were detailed with clean lines and repeatable, timeless finishes so the community reads as one address rather than sixteen.

The unusual part

Custom-home care, at community scale

Most builders our size pick a lane: one-off custom homes, or repeatable multi-family. We run both, in the same year, with the same people.

  • 16 townhomes at Carroll Commons, Sunnyvale, three storeys, walkable to downtown
  • 12 townhomes at 1790 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara
  • 8 multi-family homes at 955 Woodside Road, Redwood City
  • Custom single-family homes in Los Altos, Los Gatos and Sunnyvale over the same period

ADUs

The most valuable square footage on your lot

An accessory dwelling unit is the cheapest way to add real living space, rental income or a place for family on a Peninsula lot, and it is also where builders most often stall out on permitting.

We have taken ADUs through to final: a detached ADU at 771 Jordan Avenue in Los Altos, a 500 square foot junior ADU on Beverly Lane, and an attached ADU delivered as part of the new home at 520 Benvenue Avenue.

How we work

Four stages, no mystery

01

Consultation

We walk the property, listen to what you want and tell you plainly what it takes to get there, including what we would do differently.

02

Preconstruction

Drawings reviewed for constructability, scope priced line by line, permits filed, schedule and allowances agreed in writing before work starts.

03

Build

One point of contact, a live schedule and a site left clean. You always know what happened this week and what happens next.

04

Closeout

Punch list cleared, systems documented, warranties and manuals handed over, and a builder who still answers the phone afterwards.

Credentials

Questions

Before you call

Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Nirmana Construction Inc. holds California CSLB license #1084771, Class B General Building, issued in December 2021 and active. The license is bonded with a $15,000 contractor's bond and carries workers' compensation coverage through the State Compensation Insurance Fund. You can verify all of it at cslb.ca.gov.
What areas do you build in?
The San Francisco Peninsula and the wider Bay Area. Completed work includes Los Altos, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Redwood City, and our office is in downtown Mountain View.
Do you take on multi-family projects as well as single homes?
Both. In the same period we delivered custom single-family homes in Los Altos and Los Gatos and townhome communities of twelve and sixteen units. That mix is unusual for a builder of our size and it is deliberate.
Will you build an ADU on its own?
Yes, attached, detached and junior ADUs, either alongside a main-house project or as a standalone build. It is some of the most valuable square footage you can add to a Peninsula lot.
Do you work with our architect and designer?
Always. We would rather be in the room early, while decisions are still cheap, than inherit a set of drawings at bid time.
How do you handle changes mid-build?
In writing, priced before the work happens. No verbal approvals, no surprises at the end of the month.
