Intention to Action

Supporting California Wildfire Survivors on the Long Road to Rebuilding.

Home Planning Pros understands how overwhelming it can be to rebuild after a wildfire, and we’re here to support Southern California families as they navigate this difficult process. Our role is to help survivors move forward with clarity, confidence, and a sense of control during a time when so much feels uncertain.

Guiding Homeowners Through Accelerated Permitting With new expedited permitting options for fire‑damaged properties, many homeowners are unsure where to begin. We help prepare and submit documents correctly the first time, confirm eligibility for fast‑track rebuild pathways, and coordinate with city and county agencies so survivors don’t have to face the complex planning and building process alone.

Helping Homeowners Navigate Rebuild Programs LA County offers pre‑approved plans, workshops, fee waivers, and express rebuild lanes—but understanding which programs apply can be confusing. We walk homeowners through their options, match them with cost‑saving pre‑approved plans, and manage paperwork and compliance so they can focus on rebuilding their lives.

Interpreting Emergency Executive Orders Recent emergency orders have changed requirements and timelines. We help homeowners understand what rules are temporarily waived, what standards still apply, and how to avoid delays caused by unclear or shifting regulations—all while ensuring their rebuild meets updated fire‑resilient guidelines.

Coordinating Design, Engineering, and Contractor Selection Decision fatigue is real after a disaster. We connect homeowners with trusted architects, engineers, and contractors, and we help coordinate the many moving parts of design and construction. By reviewing contracts, scopes of work, and fire‑resilient design standards, we help protect homeowners from unnecessary stress, delays, and costly mistakes.

Providing Project Management and Oversight Rebuilding is a major undertaking. We support homeowners by managing scheduling, budgeting, and resource sequencing, and by verifying that contractor performance aligns with contract terms. This oversight helps prevent cost overruns, construction errors, and the emotional strain that comes with unexpected setbacks.

Offering Emotional and Logistical Relief Many survivors feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure where to turn. Our team approaches every project with empathy, honesty, and respect. By serving as a single point of coordination, offering clear timelines, and keeping costs transparent, we aim to make the rebuilding process more manageable—and to give homeowners a sense of steadiness during a chaotic time.
