Rebuilding in San Fernando, Los Angeles County
Rebuilding in San Fernando after a fire
San Fernando fire rebuild run as new construction when the old slab cannot be reused: soils report, a new foundation, city review and a staged build.
New construction becomes the first job on a San Fernando lot when testing shows the old slab and footings cannot be reused. At that point the rebuild is treated as a new house: soils report, foundation design, a fresh site plan and a full plan set. We set out each of those steps in a written scope before any work is booked, so you know the order from bare ground to final inspection.
What a blank lot allows
With nothing below grade to keep, the footprint is open to change within the setbacks. Rooms can move, a second story can be designed in from the start, and the foundation is engineered for the house you choose. The soils engineer sets bearing values and footing depth, and the structural engineer works from that report. Drainage is drawn so roof water and surface runoff leave the lot without collecting at the foundation. We review the layout with you before the set is finished, since each change after submittal sends the drawings back for another look.
Review in San Fernando and around it
The City of San Fernando reviews and inspects new construction inside its limits. Nearby Pacoima, Sylmar and Mission Hills are part of Los Angeles, so plans there go to LADBS, and the address decides which forms, fees and inspectors apply. We settle that at assessment. A new house also has to meet the current energy code, which sets insulation, window ratings and equipment efficiency, and the calculations go in with the set. On an inland valley lot, we add shade over windows that take afternoon sun and a light roof color that reflects heat.
