What can I do to help speed up the rebuilding process in Altadena?

We know you’re eager to move back into your home, and there are a few things you (and we as your builder) can do to expedite the rebuild:

• Start Planning Early: The sooner we can begin the design and permitting phase, the better. Even while debris clearing is underway (if your home was lost in a fire, for example), we can start developing plans. Getting plans submitted to the county/city for approval as early as possible will save time later.

  
  

• Stay Decisive on Selections: During the design process, try to make timely decisions on your floor plan, finishes, and materials. Changes or indecision can cause delays. We’ll assist you with samples and recommendations to make this easier. Once construction starts, having your major choices finalized helps avoid slowdowns.

  
  

• Organize Financing/Permits: Make sure your financing or insurance funds are lined up and ready for the construction phase. Delays in loans or insurance payouts can halt a project, so working closely with your lender/insurer to keep funds on schedule is important. Similarly, trust us to handle the permits, but be responsive if any owner signatures or approvals are needed.

  
  

• Work with an Experienced Local Team: Hiring a seasoned local builder like Enhaus is a big advantage. We know the ins-and-outs of Altadena’s rebuild permitting (for instance, we’re familiar with any county recovery programs, code requirements, or expedited processes). Our experience means we can anticipate what documentation or inspections are required, preventing last-minute surprises. We also coordinate closely with inspectors and plan checkers to keep things moving.

  
  

• Communicate and Coordinate: If you have any information from your end (e.g. HOA requirements, property surveys, or past plans of the house), share them early. Good communication between us and you helps avoid missteps. We’ll also do our part by maintaining clear communication (as noted above) so that any issues are resolved quickly without causing delays.
