Expert Residential Fire Damage Restoration & Reconstruction

Costs vary widely based on the extent of damage, site conditions, permitting requirements, desired performance level, and whether the project is a partial restoration or full reconstruction. tect works on quoted project engagements, with budget ranges discussed during discovery. Fire-hardened rebuilds may include upgraded wall systems, roofing, suppression, filtration, and documentation that go beyond standard replacement.

Fire damage restoration and reconstruction can involve loss assessment, debris and site planning, architectural redesign, structural engineering, permitting, material selection, construction coordination, and documentation for insurance or underwriting review. tect focuses on rebuilding with fire-resistive assemblies, non-combustible materials, on-site suppression, healthy air systems, and coordinated delivery so the new home performs better than the original.

Yes. tect’s wildfire rebuild and reconstruction services are designed for homeowners who have lost a residence and want a permanent upgrade rather than a like-for-like replacement. The team can support Path A turnkey delivery or Path B advisory, integrating architecture, engineering, construction coordination, fire-hardened materials, suppression strategy, and insurance-aligned documentation from the earliest decisions.

A more fire-resistant home typically combines fire-resistive exterior walls, Class A non-combustible roofing, ember-resistant vents, non-combustible eaves and soffits, tempered or fire-rated openings, defensible-space coordination, and on-site water or suppression systems. tect coordinates these elements as a system, rather than treating them as separate product upgrades added late in construction.

Yes. tect offers both Path A turnkey delivery and Path B advisory. In Path B, tect works alongside a homeowner’s existing architect, engineer, or contractor to improve system integration, review critical decisions, coordinate manufacturer input, and strengthen fire-resilient performance without replacing the team already in place.

A well-documented fire-hardened rebuild can support more productive conversations with brokers, underwriters, MGAs, and surplus-lines markets. tect provides documentation related to fire-resistive assemblies, non-combustible materials, suppression engineering, on-site water, defensible-space coordination, and performance strategy, helping demonstrate a materially reduced risk profile for high-risk homes.

Depending on the site, on-site suppression may include dedicated fire water tanks, pumps, distribution lines, hydrant-independent water supply, vapor dome perimeter protection, FIREBOZZ water cannons, and coordination with defensible space. tect designs suppression alongside the architecture, structure, roof, envelope, and mechanical systems so it supports the whole home strategy.

The first step is a discovery call to discuss the property, fire loss, rebuild goals, budget range, timing, insurance context, and whether Path A turnkey or Path B advisory is the better fit. Homeowners can call (310) 913-5000 or email bob@tect.com to begin the planning conversation.
