Step 6: Review Prepare to Build Suggestions
While your permit is being reviewed there are some things you can be doing to prepare for construction. Some suggestions are outlined below:
- Confirm Contractor with a written contract
- Only pay 10% down or $1,000, whichever is less as suggestion per CSLB
- Avoid paying in cash
- Confirm your supplier of materials with written contracts
- If working with other neighbors, inform them of your possible timeline to rebuild
- Enjoy community events, other fire survivor resources, and support groups
