Fire Rebuild Preconstruction Consulting
RBLD
RBLD is a select consulting service offered by CSTM, a licensed California general contracting firm. We help homeowners in Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and nearby areas navigate insurance, permits, design, and cost clarity after fire damage.
What we do
Rapid Triage. Project Feasibility. Permit Acceleration. Construction.
Our preconstruction consulting gives you the tools to make confident decisions. We assess your lot and zoning, review insurance scope, help estimate true rebuild costs, and connect you with the right design team. You’ll know what’s possible and what’s next before committing to a full construction contract.
Who it helps
Homeowners navigating uncertainty after a fire.
If you’re not sure where to start, RBLD offers clarity without sales pressure. Whether you want to build new, explore other options, or simply understand your insurance and permit situation, we’re here to help you take control of the process.
How it works
Trusted experts. Tailored strategy.
We begin with a simple intake that covers your property, insurance, and timeline. From there, we schedule a 30-minute consult to review your goals and challenges in real time. Within days, you’ll receive a tailored Rebuild Snapshot outlining what’s feasible, what’s missing, and what comes next.
