Manufactured For Every Fire Rebuild
A coordinated 4C SAFE option for Pacific Palisades rebuilding.
4C works with your design and building professionals to evaluate SAFE™ for your residence. We coordinate the 4C scope and its interfaces with site work and following trades.
Pacific Palisades rebuilding after the Palisades Fire.
The January 2025 Palisades Fire tore through the hillsides and canyons of Pacific Palisades, destroying homes across a dense, topographically demanding neighborhood. Rebuilding here comes with its own logistics: narrow access roads, steep lots, and a community-wide construction timeline that puts real strain on contractors, permitting offices, and material availability all at once. A construction method that reduces onsite labor time is a practical advantage on sites like these, not just a fire-safety one. Pacific Palisades is one of several California locations where we offer dedicated rebuild programs.
Heavy equipment is not always required, but a reach forklift (telehandler) is our preferred method for handling and installation. We plan equipment and staging around each site, a meaningful fit for hillside and canyon lots where site access is limited. Our four pillars of cost, carbon, complexity, and compliance shape how every rebuild program is designed.
Fire-resistant construction for a designated high fire-risk area.
Pacific Palisades sits within terrain that has been repeatedly identified as high wildfire risk, and the Palisades Fire underscored how quickly that risk can become reality. 4C SAFE™ is our steel-framed, fire-resistant panel system, rated 1-HR and 2-HR fire-resistive, code listed (patent pending). It's applicable to all construction types, giving homeowners and builders in this area a rebuild option engineered around fire resistance from the frame outward, not added on as a finish layer. See how it compares to our wood-framed 4C ECO™ system on our systems overview.
SAFE™ exterior walls are WUI-compliant, built for California’s wildfire construction requirements (formerly Chapter 7A, now the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code) that apply to Palisades rebuilds.
Fire-resistant, 1-HR & 2-HR rated
Fire-resistant steel framing rated 1-HR and 2-HR fire-resistive, engineered for the fire-risk profile of coastal hillside communities like the Palisades.
Lean equipment footprint
Panels assemble with a single reach forklift, which matters on the narrow, hillside-access lots common throughout the Palisades.
Built for a compressed timeline
Pre-labeled, pre-engineered panels help reduce onsite construction time versus conventional stick-framing, helping households move through a community-wide rebuild.

A coordinated option for your Palisades rebuild.
4C works with your design and building professionals to evaluate SAFE™ for your residence. We coordinate the 4C scope and its interfaces with site work and following trades. Our rebuild support program is built around pre-designed single-family home plans, optimized specifically for panelized construction on 4C SAFE™, so homeowners and builders aren't starting from a blank sheet of paper.
See Our Altadena Rebuild ApproachHow 4C fits your Palisades rebuild.
Palisades projects require careful planning for access, staging and hillside conditions. We assess delivery routes and equipment needs before installation, with a telehandler as our preferred handling method.
The project follows conventional planning, permitting and inspection pathways, with 4C system details coordinated for the site and applicable assembly requirements.
4C works with the project's owners, architects and builders to coordinate the 4C scope through manufacturing, delivery and installation. Contact us and we'll help connect you with a partner covering the Palisades area, or watch a 4C SAFE™ installation in our time-lapse video.
