FAQ

What is the general process from start to finish for my re-build?

  1. Clear debris. Begin by getting your site clear of debris in preparation for the rebuilding process. This is a crucial first step, as it allows for a safe and organized work environment. We recommend contacting FEMA to start the clearing process, as this can often be hazardous and requires professional assistance to ensure safety.

  2. Financing. Next, obtain financing for your rebuilding project. It's important to begin by getting in touch with your insurer to discuss coverage and claims. If needed, EdenLA has valuable connections to reputable contractors, all of whom have extensive experience dealing with insurance claims, property damage, and can provide assistance from lawyers and private adjusters to streamline the process.

  3. Prepare plans. After securing financing, prepare detailed building plans for your rebuilding project. EdenLA proudly partners with numerous talented architects who have extensive experience in rebuilding in wildfire-affected areas such as Malibu and the Pacific Palisades, ensuring that your design is both functional and beautiful.

  4. Obtain permit. Once your building plans are approved, the next step is to obtain the necessary permit(s) to begin construction. In light of the recent emergencies, we expect that much of the red tape associated with permitting will be expedited, allowing you to rebuild as quickly as possible.

  5. Construct and inspect. You'll need to schedule inspections at specific milestones throughout the construction process to ensure everything meets the required standards. EdenLA has cultivated relationships with world-class contractors who are dedicated to helping rebuild Los Angeles. Our team will also assist you in project management, coordinating with all contractors and sub-contractors to ensure your project is running smoothly and on schedule.

  6. Move in! Finally, after obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy, you can move into your new space. EdenLA will also assist in sourcing furnishings that reflect your style, transforming your new rebuild into a home where you and your family can create cherished memories for years to come.

  • In the majority of our projects, we collaborate concurrently with the architect. This integrated approach, wherein both the designer and architect work in tandem, proves highly advantageous for all parties involved and consistently yields optimal results.

  • To utilize the city’s expedited permitting process, the footprint of the home may only be altered by a maximum of 10%. It is essential to obtain city records of your property prior to any loss. You have the freedom to modify interior walls and styles to your preference, or choose to leave them unchanged.

    Once your redesign is finalized and your submission package is submitted to the city, it may take several months to begin receiving permits. The city must establish the necessary infrastructure, including water and electricity, before construction starts.

  • The overall duration is estimated to be approximately 18 to 24 months. We project that the architecture and design phase will take around 6 to 8 months, followed by the construction and rebuilding phase, which is expected to last between 16 and 18 months.

  • We maintain close collaborations with leading architecture firms in Los Angeles and are pleased to recommend and partner with additional firms. EdenLA’s specialty is designing for the client and working with the Architect and GC’s to bring that vision to life. It is important to note that some architecture firms do not provide interior design services. Therefore, we suggest involving our team at the outset of the rebuilding process to ensure that all elements are comprehensively addressed.
