A wildfire loss is devastating—but a rebuild can be a rare opportunity. For Malibu homeowners, California’s latest codes aren’t just red tape—they’re tools for better design, stronger safety, and higher property value.
Here’s how Creation G turns fire damage into luxury-level comebacks.
1. Wildfire Building Codes = Hidden Insurance
After a loss, rebuilding under today’s codes means:
Class A roofing materials and ember-proof venting
Non-combustible siding and decking systems
Tempered, dual-glazed windows with strategic placement
Yes, these are required—but they also increase your home’s resilience and lifespan.
2. Design Freedom Comes With a Fresh Start
You don’t have to rebuild exactly what burned. We help you:
Update floor plans for better flow
Optimize views, solar orientation, and wind
Integrate modern architecture that still fits Malibu’s style
A loss resets the design clock—use it to build smarter and stronger.
3. Permits Move Faster Than You Think
Malibu has fire rebuild programs that include:
Fee waivers or reductions
Expedited plan reviews
Pre-approval of WUI-compliant materials
With the right team, you can get through design + permit in record time.
4. Insurance Can Cover More Than the Shell
We help clients maximize their claim to include:
Architectural + engineering costs
Temporary upgrades for code compliance
Interior finishes at luxury standard
Let us guide your adjuster conversations—we’ve done this dozens of times.
Build Back Better—Not Just Back
Rebuilding after fire is emotional—but it’s also a rare window to rebuild right.
