Losing a home to fire is a trauma most designers never understand. David has walked that path with hundreds of families since the Thomas Fire and continues today with families rebuilding after the Mountain Fire and the Palisades disaster.
The rebuild process is complicated in ways you do not yet realize. Insurance requires specific drawings. Counties require updated code compliance even if you are rebuilding to original specifications. Fire hazard severity zones add layers of requirements. Neighbors may be rebuilding at the same time, affecting utility capacity and construction access.
