Turnkey Delivery
A fully aligned path from concept through construction, combining architecture, engineering, permitting, manufacturer input, and construction coordination to reduce friction and improve long-term home performance.
tect provides integrated design-build contracting for Los Angeles homeowners rebuilding in high-risk wildfire areas, including Pacific Palisades. From architecture and engineering to construction coordination and permit strategy, our aligned team delivers resilient, healthy, 100+ year homes engineered for fire, flood, and earthquake exposure while reducing friction, lifecycle costs, and insurance-related risk in a demanding Southern California environment.

Integrated architecture, engineering, construction, and resilience planning for homes built to perform for generations.
A fully aligned path from concept through construction, combining architecture, engineering, permitting, manufacturer input, and construction coordination to reduce friction and improve long-term home performance.
Integrated home systems using non-combustible assemblies, durable exterior materials, long-life roofing, and coordinated envelope strategies designed for wildfire exposure and high-risk rebuilding conditions.
Design and system coordination focused on materially reducing risk through fire-resistive construction, integrated suppression planning, and documented performance strategies for today’s insurance realities.

We begin by understanding your property, rebuilding goals, budget range, and exposure to wildfire, earthquake, flood, and insurance pressures common in Los Angeles hillside and WUI communities.
A fully aligned system for homeowners who need more than a conventional rebuild.
One coordinated team manages architecture, engineering, construction, systems, and permits from the start.
Built for Los Angeles wildfire realities, including Pacific Palisades and other high-risk WUI areas.
TectApp connects your project with material and system experts before key decisions are made.
Homes are engineered for fire, flood, earthquake exposure, comfort, and lower lifecycle costs.
Led by resilient design and construction coordination expertise.

AIA
Bob Habian, AIA, is a licensed architect and a driving force behind Tect's mission to deliver 100+ year homes built to perform across structure, systems, and envelope. Serving homeowners in Pacific Palisades and surrounding high-risk areas, Bob brings deep expertise in resilient design, system integration, and construction coordination. His work is rooted in a belief that homes should be permanent upgrades — engineered to withstand fire, flood, and earthquake exposure while minimizing long-term maintenance costs. Bob leads Tect's fully aligned approach, connecting clients with the TectApp community of 70+ building product manufacturers to ensure the right expertise is involved from concept through construction. His commitment is to homes that are not only durable and safe but built forward for generations to come.
A design-build contractor coordinates design and construction under one aligned delivery system. For tect, that includes architecture, engineering, construction coordination, permit strategy, manufacturer input, and resilience planning. This reduces handoffs between separate teams, helps key decisions happen earlier, and creates a clearer path from concept through construction.
