We worked with the team on multiple tenant improvement projects across properties we manage. Each scope was handled with a clear understanding of commercial requirements, fire and building code considerations, and coordination across trades. Scheduling, communication, and documentation were consistently reliable, which made it easier to manage work in active, occupied spaces. We valued their professionalism and their ability to deliver repeatable results across multiple tenants.

OUR SERVICES
Property Resilience & Insurability Framework
El Niño Preparation & Wet-Weather Repairs
Prepare your buildings and grounds for El Niño and prolonged rain. WCCD serves Los Angeles County with property assessments, water-intrusion repairs, drainage improvements, cleanup and erosion control. We identify visible concerns, provide written repair priorities and quote practical work before conditions become urgent. Temporary weather protection, scheduled pre-storm checks and post-storm repairs are also available for residential, multifamily and commercial properties.
fire rebuild & Resilient Construction
West Coast Construction & Development (WCCD) helps homeowners turn disaster loss into safe, code-compliant, and resilient homes, built to meet 2026 California WUI Code (Title 24, Part 7). As a 2026 IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home™ Partner and graduate of the Contractors Accelerator for Climate Resilience, we rebuild stronger, safer structures engineered to meet recognized safety standards, insurance requirements, and long-term resilience.
Insurance Verification & Grant Compliance
We provide the technical implementation required for alignment with the IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home™ program standards, as an IBHS-aligned partner working in accordance with IBHS guidelines, as well as California AB 888 (Safe Homes Act) compliance. Our process generates the precise, itemized engineering data required to support eligibility considerations for IBHs certification that may qualify California FAIR Plan premium credits and state-funded mitigation grant applications.
Fire Hardening & Building Envelope Resilience
WCCD performs precision structural hardening intended to help reduce wildfire exposure to the building envelope from ember intrusion and radiant heat, in alignment with CAL FIRE: Structural Hardening & Wildfire Readiness. Our implementation includes ASTM E2886-compliant vent upgrades, CBC Chapter 7A roof-edge and eave retrofits, and AB-3074-aligned Zone 0 fuel modification practices where applicable. These measures support wildfire resilience and insurance mitigation review processes.
Seismic Structural Retrofits
As specialized implementers of Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB), Earthquake Soft Story (ESS) standards, and Earthquake Multi-Unit Retrofit (EMR) we execute precision foundation anchoring and cripple wall bracing. Our retrofits meet all FEMA and CRMP requirements, hardening the structural envelope against regional seismic activity and geological risk. CRMP Seismic Retrofit Standards

OUR PROCESS
Our Project Process: A Disciplined Path to Resilience
1
Initial Project Discussion
Projects begin with an initial project discussion and a limited preliminary review to understand the property, project objectives, and overall feasibility. Information provided by the client is reviewed to determine general alignment and identify potential next steps before any on-site visit is scheduled.
2
On-Site Visit & Scope Development
An on-site visit is conducted to observe structural configuration, site conditions, access constraints, and environmental exposure. Scope development is based on visible and reasonably accessible areas at the time of the visit and informed by IBHS principles, CEA retrofit guidance, and applicable California Building Code and WUI provisions. For fire rebuild or new construction projects, the visit may also include preliminary site evaluation and discussion of project objectives.
3
Implementation & Documentation
Construction and upgrades are executed with disciplined workmanship and professional oversight in accordance with the defined scope of work. Supporting project documentation may be provided upon request.
RISK TO RESILIENCE
Engineering Resilience: Technical Standards in Mitigation & Reconstruction
WCCD delivers resilient construction across Los Angeles, addressing wildfire, earthquake, and wet-weather risks through science-informed mitigation and over 30 years of West Coast construction experience.
The Three Pillars of Resilience
Pillar 1: Ignition-Resistant Construction (CBC Chapter 7A) We implement "hardened home" strategies to mitigate radiant heat and ember storms. This includes the installation of non-combustible siding, dual-pane tempered glazing, and ember-resistant venting designed to meet or exceed current WUI standards. Our focus is on the "built environment" in high-risk zones like Altadena and the Palisades.
Pillar 2: Seismic Stabilization. Structural Reinforcements (FEMA & LADBS). Specialized retrofits for hillside foundations and soft-story compliance. Our team performs work in accordance with FEMA P-1100 guidelines and April 2026 LADBS Priority 2 requirements. We turn documented structural vulnerabilities into resilient assets intended to mitigate earthquake damage.
Pillar 3: Financial Alignment. Grant & Insurance Documentation (IBHS & AB 888). We provide the technical proof required for state grants and insurance credits. Our mitigation work is informed by IBHS "Wildfire Prepared" standards. We assist homeowners in applying for AB 888 grants or seeking independent insurance premium discounts through rigorous documentation.
