Turnkey Delivery
A fully aligned architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturer, and permitting team guides your rebuild from concept through completion, reducing friction and helping critical system decisions happen early.
Rebuilding in Malibu after wildfire demands more than replacing what was lost. Earth'smart powered by tect helps homeowners move forward with coordinated architecture, engineering, construction, fire-resilient systems, and insurance-focused risk reduction. Designed for coastal canyon conditions and Wildland-Urban Interface realities, our approach creates safer, healthier, longer-lasting homes built to perform for generations.
Coordinated rebuild solutions for safer, stronger homes in Malibu and nearby high-risk wildfire communities.
A fully aligned architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturer, and permitting team guides your rebuild from concept through completion, reducing friction and helping critical system decisions happen early.
Integrated assemblies prioritize non-combustible materials, fire-resistive walls, long-life roofing, filtered air, and coordinated envelope performance for homes exposed to wildfire, flood, and seismic risk.
Design and system choices are coordinated to materially reduce risk, strengthen resilience documentation, and support homeowners facing today’s insurance realities in high-fire-risk communities.

We begin by understanding your property, rebuild goals, budget range, and exposure conditions. In Malibu’s WUI environment, this means looking closely at fire, flood, seismic, access, and long-term insurance considerations before design decisions begin.
Earth'smart powered by tect brings advanced coordination and resilience thinking to complex wildfire rebuilds.
One coordinated team connects design, engineering, construction, manufacturers, and permitting from the start.
Systems are designed for Malibu’s wildfire exposure, coastal terrain, and high-risk insurance environment.
The TectApp community brings 70+ product manufacturers into key decisions early.
Homes are engineered for fire, flood, earthquake exposure, and long-term Malibu durability.
Licensed expertise for resilient wildfire rebuilds.

AIA — Founder, Architect and Manufacturer Advisor
Bob Habian, AIA, brings a rare cross-sided perspective to the building industry: he has been a licensed architect specifying products, a building product manufacturer owner selling them, and an advisor to more than 300 manufacturers working to reach architects and project teams more effectively. That combination sits behind everything tect does. On the owner side, Bob leads Tect's Earth'smart™ practice delivering 100+ year homes engineered to perform across structure, systems and envelope for homeowners across Northern, Central and Southern California — homes built to withstand fire, flood and earthquake exposure while minimizing long-term maintenance cost. On the manufacturer side, Bob leads the tect network of nearly 70 participating building product manufacturers and the Manufacturer Resource Hub, helping manufacturer CEOs, sales and marketing leaders, technical leadership and product representatives understand how architects actually choose products, contribute earlier in design, build genuine product-category expertise, form complementary alliances, and make credible human expertise discoverable in search and AI. His consistent argument to manufacturers is that project teams do not need another channel that exposes products — they need trustworthy expertise available at the moment a decision is forming. Bob draws on AIA specification research, anonymized patterns from work across hundreds of manufacturers, and direct experience on both sides of the specification conversation.
Timelines vary by site conditions, permitting, design complexity, material systems, and contractor coordination. A resilient Malibu rebuild often requires more upfront planning than a standard replacement because fire-resistive assemblies, engineering, insurance documentation, and WUI considerations must be aligned early. tect’s turnkey approach is designed to reduce friction by coordinating architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturers, and permit strategy from the start.
