Rebuilding in San Marino, Los Angeles County

Fire rebuild in San Marino

San Marino fire rebuild that begins with property corners, utility stubs and foundation condition, all written into a report that starts the scope.

Tell us about the lot

We read every request and reply about next steps for your property. Sending this commits you to nothing. How we use your details.

To send, add what you are interested in, your first name and a phone number or an email.

The survey pins are what we look for first on a cleared San Marino lot. Once the lines are confirmed, we find where the sewer connects, where the water meter and gas stub sit, and where power enters the property. Those positions decide where the new house can sit, which connections can be reused, and which ones the scope has to price as new work.

What the old slab can tell us

With the lines and services logged, attention turns to whatever foundation remains. Cracks, spalling and discolored concrete are photographed and mapped. An engineer then decides whether cores should be cut and sent to a lab, because high heat can change the strength of concrete and the rebar inside it. Good results may let parts of the old slab or stem walls carry the new frame. Poor results add foundation demolition to the scope, and a soils report then guides the design of new footings.

From findings to a written scope

Everything found on the visit goes into a written report you keep: lot lines, utility locations, foundation condition, and any trees or retaining walls that survived and need review. That report becomes the opening page of the scope and the designer's starting point. Plans then go to the building department serving San Marino for plan check, and staged inspections follow on site. Visits in Temple City, San Gabriel and Pasadena begin with the same walk and produce the same kind of report.
