About Astaneh
Construction
A family name.
A personal commitment to your home.
Meet the people behind our full-home renovations, additions and custom home builds—and the story that shapes how we work.
Discover our storyESTABLISHED IN 2013
Built one relationship
at a time.
Astaneh began with smaller renovations and a founder who understood that his next project depended on how he treated the people in front of him.
Hamed Astaneh founded the company in 2013. Early work included bathrooms and individual rooms. As clients recommended him to friends and family, those relationships opened the door to more substantial residential projects.
One early job remains part of Hamed’s account of the business. He had underestimated the cost, but chose to complete the work without reducing its quality. The client’s referrals brought further opportunities. For Hamed, that experience connected the standard of the work with the future of the company.
Today, Astaneh focuses on high-end full-home and major renovations, home additions and custom home builds across Toronto and the GTA. The projects have grown in scope. Personal involvement, careful coordination and respect for the homeowner remain central to the company’s approach.
Why the family name matters
Rana suggested naming the company Astaneh because it represented Hamed’s values and personal accountability. Putting the family name on the business made the connection clear: the people leading the company stand behind the work and the relationships it creates.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE NAME
Meet Hamed and Rana.
Construction knowledge, project coordination and an understanding of what a home means to its owners.

FOUNDER & CEO
Hamed Astaneh
A builder’s perspective, with personal involvement from the first conversation.
Hamed leads project evaluation and construction oversight. Understanding the property and the people who live there is an important part of that work: what needs to change, what is worth keeping and how the proposed construction will support everyday life.
In Astaneh’s project videos, he explains decisions that homeowners may never see in a finished photograph—from structural changes and mechanical coordination to the details reviewed before walls are closed. That willingness to explain the work is part of how he builds a relationship with clients.
His role connects the early conversation with what happens on site, working with the project team, designers and trades as the home takes shape.
“I care for clients, I love what I do, I see any client's home as my home.”Hamed Astaneh

PARTNER & PROJECT MANAGER
Rana Forutan
Bringing the homeowner’s priorities into the decisions that shape the project.
Rana brings project coordination, client-service experience and a real estate background to Astaneh. Her work connects the homeowner’s expectations with the practical questions that arise during planning and construction.
In the company’s project stories, Rana discusses understanding a client’s preferences, preserving features they value and working through the choices involved in changing a home. Her contribution combines organization with attention to how the finished space will be used.
Her property background also supports conversations with people considering a purchase and exploring renovation or building potential. Those early discussions can help identify the questions to investigate before a project moves into detailed planning.

THE TEAM AROUND EACH HOME
Good construction
is a shared effort.
A substantial home project brings together different skills. Our role is to help those people and decisions work together.
Astaneh works with architects, designers, consultants and skilled trades. Each contributes specialist knowledge; project coordination connects that knowledge with the scope, the site and the homeowner’s priorities.
Our portfolio reflects that collaboration. Unionville credits RZ Interiors for interior design and First Step Design for architecture. Davisville credits Parris McKenna Design for its interiors. Those contributions are part of the story of the finished homes.
What guides the work
Listen before proposing. Understand how the household lives and what the project needs to change.
Explain the decisions. Discuss scope, construction implications and choices in language homeowners can follow.
Care about what is covered up. Give attention to the structure, systems and coordination behind the visible finishes.
THE COMPANY THROUGH ITS WORK
Homes that tell our story.
The scale of a renovation is often easier to understand through a particular home. These two projects show how structural work, existing character and carefully considered interiors come together.

UNIONVILLE · FULL-HOME RENOVATION
Opening up a 3,500-square-foot home.
Two structural steel beams allowed dropped ceilings to be removed, helping reshape the interior. The renovation brought together custom millwork, a redesigned kitchen, stair changes and a primary ensuite.

DAVISVILLE · ADDITION & FULL RENOVATION
Making room for a new chapter.
A rear addition and interior rebuild gave this century home a new family layout while retaining its original front and side brick walls. Structural work, building-system upgrades and insulation formed part of the transformation.
