Altadena Fire Rebuild Project Manager & Owner’s Representative
We’re an architectural design firm based in the area, and our CEO, Jarrod Davis, has over a decade of experience as a construction project manager. Since the Eaton Fire, we’ve been working closely with Altadena homeowners on their rebuilds — reviewing contractor bids, coordinating with design and construction teams, and helping families stay organized so the project keeps moving without them having to manage every detail themselves.
Many of the people we talk to are dealing with insurance, temporary housing, and a steady stream of contractor proposals at the same time. Our role is to give you a clear, independent perspective. We help you understand what’s actually in the bids you’re receiving, identify gaps or inconsistencies, and then stay involved once construction starts so schedule, quality, and costs don’t drift.
If you’re currently collecting proposals or about to begin construction, we offer two straightforward ways to help: a focused bid review service, and ongoing Owner’s Representative oversight once work begins. Both are independent of the contractor, so you get a second set of eyes on scope, pricing, schedule, and progress — without having to be on site every day or figure everything out on your own.
If you’re currently collecting contractor bids for your Altadena rebuild, we offer a focused bid review. We go through the proposals you’ve received, identify scope gaps, pricing outliers, and missing items, and give you a clear side-by-side comparison so you can see the real differences.
Our bid review is typically a multi-page document that includes:
-
An overview summary of each contractor (total, duration, cost per square foot, and overall tone of the proposal)
-
A comparative breakdown of scope coverage and detail level
-
Cost and allowances analysis
-
Schedule and delivery comparison
-
Strengths and weaknesses for each contractor
-
Bottom-line recommendations based on your priorities
-
A color-coded inclusion matrix that flags what is fully included, partially included, or excluded across key line items
-
A risk profile for each contractor so you understand where potential issues or extra costs could appear
We can also send your project to a few contractors our firm works with regularly so you receive competitive pricing from builders we already know. This is a lower-commitment starting point — useful on its own, and a natural step before any longer-term oversight.
Once construction begins, we provide independent Owner’s Representative services so you don’t have to manage the day-to-day details yourself. Our role is advisory and observational. We do not supervise the contractor’s labor or assume responsibility for their performance.
Depending on the level of support you want, services can include:
-
Regular site visits and progress observations
-
Review of contractor invoices, payment requests, and change orders
-
Schedule and milestone monitoring
-
Coordination with the contractor and project consultants
-
Organized project tracking and documentation
-
Written weekly Owner’s Representative reports with photographs
-
Tracking of items that need your decision
We offer three service levels (Base, Standard, and Full-Service) so you can choose the amount of involvement that fits your project and comfort level. Most clients start with a conversation about where they are in the process and what would actually be helpful.
We provide clients with clear, organized weekly reports that summarize progress, flag issues early, track decisions, and include site photographs. These reports are meant to keep you informed without requiring you to be on site every day.
If this sounds useful for your rebuild, message us or reply with a few times that work for a short call. We’re happy to walk through the bid review process, the oversight options, and connect you with other Altadena homeowners who have used the service.
