Who we are

A builder who plans first, then builds.

Rana Development is a residential construction company based in Irvine, California, focused on building high-quality homes with care, precision, and integrity. We specialize in new residential construction and general building services, bringing a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every project we take on.

Our work is rooted in the belief that great homes start with strong planning, clear communication, and skilled craftsmanship. From the earliest stages of construction through project completion, we work closely with homeowners, designers, and trade partners so each home reflects both functional living and lasting quality.

Why Rana

The difference is in the planning.

Based in Southern California, we understand the standards and needs of our community — and we are committed to delivering stand-out results.

Clear communication and honest timelines
You get a real schedule, not an optimistic one — and a straight answer when something moves. Weekly updates, one point of contact, no chasing.
Quality materials and trusted trade partners
We work with the same vetted subcontractors and suppliers project after project. Continuity is what makes quality repeatable instead of accidental.
Commitment to craftsmanship and safety
A clean, safe, well-run jobsite produces better work. We hold the site to the same standard we hold the finished home to.
Local knowledge that saves months
Southern California building departments, HOA design review, coastal and hillside conditions, Title 24 — knowing the process locally keeps approvals moving.

How it works

Six steps, no surprises.

The same sequence on every project, so you always know what happens next.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We walk the property, listen to what you are trying to build, and talk openly about budget range, scope and timing. If we are not the right builder for the project, we will tell you at this stage.

  2. 02

    Pre-construction and planning

    We review the drawings for constructability, build a line-item budget, identify long-lead materials, and produce a schedule with real milestone dates. This is where projects are won or lost.

  3. 03

    Permits and approvals

    We assemble the submittal package, coordinate with your architect and engineers, and manage plan check corrections, HOA design review, and utility approvals through to permit issuance.

  4. 04

    Construction

    Site work, foundation, framing, systems and envelope. You get a single point of contact, weekly progress updates, and a budget you can see — including where every allowance and change order stands.

  5. 05

    Finishes and quality control

    Millwork, tile, fixtures, paint and hardware, with mock-ups and sample approvals before installation. We inspect our own work against the drawings before anyone asks us to.

  6. 06

    Walkthrough and handover

    We walk the home with you, complete the punch list, hand over warranties, manuals and closeout documents, and stay reachable after you move in.

In their words

What owners say.

They gave us a schedule at the start and then actually held to it. When something did move, we heard about it from them first — we never had to go looking.

Homeowner

New construction · Irvine, CA

Our architect said it was the smoothest set of plan check corrections she had been through. They caught things in the drawings before the city did.

Homeowner

Whole-home renovation · Tustin, CA

We lived in the house through the entire renovation. They phased the work around us and left the site clean every single day.
