A house fire can turn your life upside down. Between dealing with the damage, insurance claims, and the uncertainty of rebuilding, the last thing you need is a complicated permitting process standing in your way.

At EPIC INC, we have extensive experience helping homeowners navigate the architectural and permitting requirements involved in residential fire damage reconstruction. We've successfully helped numerous families obtain the building permits needed to rebuild their homes, and we continue to work on fire reconstruction projects throughout Oahu.

We understand what's involved, what challenges to anticipate, and how to help move the process forward as efficiently as possible.

Rebuilding a fire-damaged home isn't always as simple as replacing what was there before.

Depending on the extent of the damage, reconstruction may involve current building codes, zoning regulations, structural requirements, and existing improvements that no longer comply with today's standards.

These situations can create complicated permitting challenges, especially when a home has sustained substantial damage or must be completely reconstructed.

This is where our experience makes a difference.

EPIC INC has firsthand experience navigating Honolulu DPP's procedures for fire-damaged properties, including projects involving nonconforming structures and properties with complicated zoning or building code issues.

We know how to evaluate permitting requirements, identify potential obstacles, and work toward solutions that help avoid unnecessary delays.

Unlike companies that only prepare drawings or submit permit applications, EPIC INC provides both architectural drafting and building permit routing services for residential fire reconstruction projects.

Our services include:

Architectural drafting and reconstruction plans
Building code and zoning requirement review
Permitting assistance for existing nonconforming structures
Residential fire damage building permit applications
Coordination with Honolulu DPP and reviewing agencies
Responses to agency comments and permit corrections
Building permit routing and approval coordination

By handling both the architectural drafting and permitting process, we help keep communication clear, address issues efficiently, and reduce unnecessary complications.

We've helped numerous homeowners successfully obtain building permits following residential fires, including projects involving extensive damage and complicated reconstruction requirements.

We understand that every day matters when you're displaced from your home and trying to rebuild your life.

While no one can guarantee government approval timelines, our experience allows us to approach each project with the knowledge, preparation, and attention to detail needed to help minimize avoidable setbacks.

Our priority is to help you get the necessary approvals so you can begin rebuilding your home and moving forward with your life.
