Fire rebuild in Hidden Hills
Hidden Hills fire rebuild that starts with the property corners and what still stands, then plans ember resistant roofing, vents, siding and glass.
On a first visit to a cleared Hidden Hills lot, the first thing we look for is the property corners. A fire and the cleanup after it can disturb survey markers, fences and walls that once showed where the lot ended, and every later drawing depends on those lines. Next we note what is still standing, from retaining walls to utility stubs, and whether brush beside the lot has grown back.
Lines, setbacks and the old footprint
A licensed surveyor resets any missing corners and maps the lot, the utility locations and whatever remains of the old foundation. That survey becomes the base of the site plan. Setback and height limits in effect today are measured from it, and they may not match where the burned house sat, so we check early whether the old footprint can be reused as drawn. Retaining walls and the old slab are noted for the engineer, who decides later whether any of them can stay in the new design or must come out with the debris.
Ember rules on a mapped lot
Some parcels in Hidden Hills are mapped as fire hazard areas, which can bring ember resistant construction rules to the lot. The plans then call for a Class A roof assembly, vents built to keep embers out, noncombustible or ignition resistant siding, enclosed eaves and multipane glass with at least one tempered layer. The building department serving Hidden Hills checks those details on the drawings and again on site before they are covered. The same set of choices applies when a lot in Calabasas, West Hills or Topanga falls inside a mapped zone.
