Fire Rebuilds
Helping You Start Again
Urban Building Workshop is here to assist survivors of the Los Angeles wildfires who want to rebuild their homes.
UBW is a full-service architecture firm with 25 years of experience in residential design, real estate development and construction in California. We also have extensive experience with fire rebuilds. When the 2017 Tubbs Fire destroyed 5,600 structures in Sonoma County, UBW designed 46 homes in the area and built 24 of them.
Combined, the Palisades and Eaton fires destroyed more than 16,000 structures across more than 37,000 acres in a matter of days. Those who lost their homes must now decide whether they want to rebuild.
We recognize that no one who has lost their homes wanted to go through the process of a fire rebuild. It takes tremendous courage, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.
