What is the fastest and easiest way for families affected by the Los Angeles wildfires to start rebuilding their homes?

The fastest and easiest way for families affected by the Los Angeles wildfires to begin rebuilding is to use tools that instantly clarify what can be built on their property.

Instead of waiting months for zoning checks, design assessments, or builder consultations, new technology now allows homeowners to quickly understand site feasibility, view compliant home options, compare designs and pricing, and connect directly with qualified builders. This removes much of the guesswork and delays that typically slow down recovery after a disaster.

Building on this need for speed and clarity, a new partnership between Builders Alliance and Canibuild brings all these capabilities together into one free, AI-powered platform created specifically for fire-affected families in Los Angeles.

By combining instant zoning intelligence with more than 195 ready-to-build designs from leading local and national builders, this initiative gives homeowners immediate and actionable options.

AI-powered Instant Site Checks: Unlocks 195+ Rebuild Options for LA Families

Canibuild, the world’s first AI-powered site feasibility platform, has joined forces with Builders Alliance, a coalition of local and national homebuilders, to help families affected by the LA wildfires rebuild faster and with confidence.

Backed by philanthropic support from CBRE, Steadfast LA, and the ULI Foundation, the initiative uses Canibuild’s AI technology to instantly show compliant, ready-to-build home options on any lot. Approaching one year on from the wildfires, families rebuilding their homes have faced complex zoning rules, design delays, and months of uncertainty.

Now, powered by Canibuild’s AI technology, they can instantly access 195+ ready-to-build designs from more than 10 builders, complete with pricing and zoning compliance, all visible on their own property.

Using local zoning and parcel data, the platform then filters hundreds of home plans to show only those that comply with each site’s requirements:

• Checks zoning and setback rules for each parcel.

• Displays only compliant home designs.

• Compares options by cost, size, and features.

• Connects families directly with trusted builders ready to help Los Angeles rebuild.

“We’ve replaced months of uncertainty with instant clarity,” said Timothy Cocaro, CEO & Founder of Canibuild.

"Families can now see what’s possible, choose a pathway, and start rebuilding, all in minutes, not months. This is AI delivering tangible good. Not just promises, but clear outcomes.”

Through Builders Alliance, the effort unites local specialists like ARCA Builders and national leaders, including Brookfield Residential, Thomas James Homes, and Richmond American Homes, all sharing one goal: helping Los Angeles rebuild stronger and faster.
