Project overview
Rebuilding fire-damaged building elements
The LAHC fire restoration required removal of damaged roof and building elements followed by staged reconstruction. SCE managed the works from the exposed fire-damaged structure through new timber framing, roof installation and reinstatement.
SCE planned the works around the damaged structure, site access, retained building elements and the trade sequence. Required engineering, inspections and certification were coordinated with the appointed practitioners.
