The American Red Cross has stated 80% of Americans haven’t realized that home fires are the single most common disaster across our nation, which presents a heavy concern for us all. Some may have the chance to rebuild while others are at a loss without proper guidance and knowledge of how to do so. 

So to make it a point to do our due diligence as a well-respected civil engineer and licensed design professional, we are using our 30 years of expertise and immense experience with the Santa Rosa wildfire in 2018–– including our service in rebuilding Paradise, California after their wildfire––to assist in any way possible for those affected by these wildfires. We can assist homeowners and business owners alike to rebuild structures that’ll be in compliance, as well as safe for all who enter. 

 

Conclusion

Now that we understand what these wildfires are capable of doing, we need to think differently about the things we’ve done in the past and become more innovative in our structures and design. And with our experience and understanding of what it takes to rebuild after a wildfire devastation, we aim to use our services to help those in need to the utmost degree.  

If you’re someone who is needing help to rebuild after a wildfire, please contact us so we can get you on the right track to getting your life back with a new home.
