PermitFlow Launches ReconstructLA to Support Rebuilding Efforts in Los Angeles Following Wildfires
PermitFlow, a leading construction permit platform, has unveiled ReconstructLA, a new initiative designed to assist Los Angeles residents impacted by the recent devastating wildfires in their efforts to rebuild. The program also features contributions from several other prominent construction technology companies, including AIA Contract Documents, BigRentz, BlueBeam, Buildxact, The Contractor Consultants, and Miter.
“We have team members, clients, and partners who live and work in California, and we truly understand the challenges of rebuilding after a disaster,” said Francis Thumpasery, co-founder and CEO of PermitFlow. “The government has already begun taking steps to help alleviate the burden on homeowners, builders, and contractors. However, we recognize that more support is needed, and our goal is to provide additional peace of mind to Angelenos as they navigate the rebuilding process.”
PermitFlow, which offers a centralized platform that simplifies construction permitting, has long been a valuable resource for homebuilders and contractors. The platform streamlines all aspects of the permitting process—from preparation and submission to approval—while providing real-time updates and full transparency. This is especially important now, as Los Angeles shifts focus to rebuilding after the recent wildfires, and both the city and state adjust their permitting procedures to speed up the reconstruction process. With so many moving parts and changes to navigate, it is more crucial than ever to have a single, up-to-date platform where builders and contractors can track the status of permits and focus on the rebuilding efforts rather than administrative hurdles.
ReconstructLA’s Key Initiatives
The ReconstructLA initiative offers a range of resources to support homeowners, contractors, and homebuilders as they begin the complex process of rebuilding:
- Free Email Hotline for Homeowners and Builders: PermitFlow is offering a dedicated email hotline for homeowners and builders who need guidance during the rebuilding process. Whether you’re seeking advice on permits or the overall construction process, you can reach out to [email protected] for free assistance.
- Free and Discounted PermitFlow Access for Builders and Contractors: For contractors planning to rebuild 10 or more homes, PermitFlow is offering free and discounted access to its platform, providing end-to-end permitting support. Interested parties can fill out a form at go.permitflow.com/reconstruct-la to get in touch with the team. As part of its commitment to helping those affected by the wildfires, PermitFlow will donate 100% of any proceeds from this initiative to charitable organizations that support victims of the disaster.
Industry Partnerships Strengthen ReconstructLA
In addition to its own offerings, PermitFlow has partnered with several industry leaders to bolster the ReconstructLA program. These partnerships provide a range of valuable tools, services, and resources for those involved in the rebuilding process.
- AIA Contract Documents: To help mitigate contracting risks for residential construction, AIA Contract Documents will provide free access to some essential contract templates. These include agreements for renovations (AIA A105 Owner/Contractor Agreement), new builds (AIA A110 Owner/Contractor Agreement), and architect/owner agreements (AIA B110 Owner/Architect Agreement). These templates are designed to simplify the contractual side of construction and minimize legal risks.
- BigRentz: BigRentz, an enterprise-level equipment rental and procurement solution, has committed to donating 10% of proceeds from projects originating through ReconstructLA to Habitat for Humanity. This long-standing partner of BigRentz is dedicated to providing families affected by the wildfires with stable housing solutions, and these donations will help further that cause.
- Buildxact: A project management platform designed for builders, Buildxact is offering a free six-month subscription to help manage key aspects of the rebuilding process, from estimates to accounting. Builders can use the code RECONSTRUCTLA6MONTHCOUPON to access this offer, available until June 30, 2025.
- The Contractor Consultants: For construction companies in California looking to improve their hiring processes, The Contractor Consultants are offering their $2,000 hiring course free of charge. This course equips construction companies with the knowledge and tools needed to attract, hire, and retain top talent efficiently—vital for those rebuilding after the wildfire disaster.
- Miter: Miter, a platform that focuses on people management and compliance for the building and construction industry, is offering a 50% discount on implementation fees. This will help contractors streamline their hiring processes, allowing them to focus more on rebuilding efforts rather than administrative tasks.
A Unified Approach to Rebuilding

However, with ReconstructLA’s collaborative approach, homeowners, contractors, and builders will have access to the resources and tools they need to rebuild more efficiently. Whether it’s through free consultations, discounted access to essential platforms, or direct donations to support relief efforts, the program is dedicated to easing the burden on those who need it most.
