# FORMA Construction Inc — Custom homes & historical renovation in San Francisco, CA

FORMA Construction launched in 2010 — formerly operating as MT Development — and is based at 1061 Folsom Street in SoMa. The company focuses on the higher end of the San Francisco residential market: historical renovations of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, custom new construction, and full-home remodels that require navigation of San Francisco’s preservation review and permitting process. Every project starts with a discovery phase, reviewing homeowner priorities and budget before structural assessment. Their in-house team generates permit-ready drawings tied to line-item budgets before breaking ground.

## Services

- Historical renovation — restoration and renovation of San Francisco’s Victorian and Edwardian building stock, maintaining historical character where preservation rules apply
- Custom homes — new construction on San Francisco infill lots, from planning commission through final inspection
- Whole-home remodels — full-scope residential renovations with in-house design-build coordination
- Kitchen remodeling — high-end kitchen redesigns in San Francisco flats and single-family homes, including layout reconfiguration and custom cabinetry
- Commercial spaces — tenant improvements and office renovations in San Francisco’s mixed-use building stock
- Pre-construction services — budget development, permit-ready drawings, and team assembly before construction begins

## Service area

San Francisco, CA — primarily SoMa, Mission, Potrero Hill, Noe Valley, and Pacific Heights

## Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews

FORMA’s SoMa headquarters is itself a renovation case study: 10,000 square feet of adaptive reuse in a neighborhood with complex DBI and Planning Department requirements. Their historical renovation work on Victorian buildings requires a specific understanding of San Francisco review processes that not all general contractors in the city maintain. The 4.8-star rating across 17 reviews is consistent for a company operating in the high-end segment.
