Expert Residential Design and Engineering Services for Fire-Damaged Homes

RPM Team specializes in providing comprehensive Residential Design and Engineering Services to homeowners and builders affected by wildfires. We understand the urgency and emotional weight of a fire rebuild, and our goal is to simplify the entire process for you. From initial design to final construction, we are your trusted partner in turning a devastating loss into a safe, beautiful, and resilient new home.

We work with you to provide solutions that are traditional built, or modular, and utilize fire-resistant products like Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). Our expertise ensures your new home is not only built to code but also designed to withstand future challenges. We also manage your permit applications and can connect you with experienced builders who specialize in fire rebuilds, creating a seamless path from design to completion.

Our Partners

We work closely with innovative manufacturers to provide cutting-edge solutions for fire rebuilds. Here are some of the concepts we've adopted to improve our services:

• Roof and Realm: Their designs incorporate steel-frame construction, offering superior fire, earthquake, and wind resistance. They focus on durable, eco-friendly, and fire-retardant materials to provide a faster, more affordable, and more resilient alternative to traditional stick-built construction. They also offer solar-ready homes to help you embrace clean energy from day one.

• Azure Printed Homes: They explore sustainable and efficient construction methods, including robotic printing with recycled materials. This approach allows us to build with minimal waste and accelerate construction timelines, giving you a faster path to moving back home.
