Ground-Up Construction in the Bay Area & Mid-Peninsula
Timeless design. Precision execution. Homes built from vision to reality.
At CIQU Construction, our Ground-Up service delivers full-scale, custom home construction across California’s most discerning communities—from the wooded estates of Portola Valley to the tree-lined streets of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and beyond.
We specialize in creating architecturally refined homes from the ground up, bringing together craftsmanship, collaboration, and clarity—every step of the way.
Why CIQU for your custom home build?
End-to-End Project Expertise
From initial planning to final finishes, our team handles every phase in-house: site prep, structural framing, electrical, plumbing, smart systems, interiors, and landscaping. We don’t just build homes—we craft lasting legacies.
Collaborative Design Process
Your home should reflect your life, values, and vision. That’s why we work closely with your architect, designer, and consultants from day one to align on layout, style, and sustainable priorities. Whether it’s a modern hillside home in Los Altos Hills or a traditional estate in Atherton, your vision leads the way.
Transparency, Always
You’ll have clear project milestones, proactive updates, and full budget visibility throughout. We operate with integrity and clarity—no surprises, no shortcuts.
Exceptional Craftsmanship
Our team partners with vetted artisans and top-tier subcontractors, sourcing only premium materials. From wide-plank hardwoods to energy-efficient glass walls, every detail is thoughtfully selected and beautifully executed.
“From the first shovel of dirt, we’re not just building
a house — we’re shaping the backdrop for birthdays,
laughter, quiet mornings, and memories that
will outlast us all. That’s what legacy feels like.”
DAVE ROSSI, PRESIDENT CIQU
“A remodel is really about alignment — turning the place you live into a reflection of who you’ve become. The result isn’t just new walls; it’s the joy of walking into a home that feels like it finally caught up to you.”
DAVE ROSSI, PRESIDENT CIQU
Local Expertise Across the Mid-Peninsula
