Fire rebuild
Rebuilding in the Palisades.
We are pouring foundations on McKendree Avenue right now. If your lot is on a slope, the County’s fast track does not apply to you — and that is precisely the part we handle.
Fire-damaged foundations
Los Angeles County’s published guidance is that reusing a fire-damaged foundation is not recommended. Certifying one for reuse means coring, petrographic analysis and anchor-bolt pull tests, and on a hillside lot it usually ends in partial replacement anyway. We work directly with the assessors, remove what has to go, and replace it.
Hillside caissons & shoring
The Baseline Hillside Ordinance caps by-right grading at 1,000 cubic yards and reduces allowable floor area as the slope increases. You cannot bench a flat pad and keep your square footage. Deep foundations and retaining are not a preference on a slope — they are the only scheme that gets permitted.
Grading under HCR limits
In the Hillside Construction Regulation district hauling runs four trucks an hour, one truck on site at a time, 9am to 3pm on weekdays only. A 6,000 cubic yard export is a five-week window before a wheel turns. We price that window correctly the first time rather than discovering it in month two.
What we need to price it
The foundation plan and structural sheets, the geotechnical report, and your target start date. If you have a bid date, tell us in the first line. We come back in days, not weeks.
