    With 80+ projects across LA County, Otto has a wealth of experience in many Southern California cities.

    LA City

    From hillside lots and HPOZs, to tight infill parcels, we handle LA's toughest zoning and DWP coordination so you don't get stalled in the city.

    Eagle Rock

    Multiple paragraphs about high level concerns regarding insurance and financing. We are not insurance or financing people though -- so what is really valuable/relevant for us to say here? And what info is better found on other websites?
    Write about how we will work with their insurance company if needed (e.g. if your insurance company needs the new project to be comparable to the original home, we can provide documentation showing this).

    Los Angeles County

    We need to understand what was previously existing on the site,

    Then we determine what is allowed to be built based on current regulations, such as zoning code, building code, and any emergency rules that have been implemented due to the fire.

    We also need a site survey (potentially including topography).

    And you may need or want a soil analysis.

    Altadena

    We're actively rebuilding Eaton Fire homes across Altadena, including an AIA Pasadena Foothills Rebuild Award–winning project. Work with One Team through LA County permitting, SCE undergrounding coordination, and construction.

    Pasadena

    Between navigating historic overlay zones to PWP, we have the experience design, permit and build your vision in Pasadena.

    Here’s how we can determine what was previously on your site.

    Do we need the ability to do a little callout bubble? I think it’s fun but relatively low value and therefore definitely not necessary.

    • Bullet Point 1: Here’s some text and stuff

    • Bullet Point 2: Here’s another thought about that.

    • Bullet Point 3: Here’s another thought about that.

    You may need to know the size and location of the structures that were on your site if a) you are getting money from insurance and b) if you are trying to rebuild under the “like-for-like” rules.

    Here’s how we can determine what was previously on your site.
