Fire Rebuild & Reconstruction in Valley Village
Fire rebuild in Valley Village built in the order inspectors visit: layout settled first, then below-grade work, framing, rough-ins and the kitchen finishes.
A kitchen layout can move freely on paper and hardly at all once rough plumbing is in the slab. Valley Village rebuilds therefore settle the floor plan before the first footing is dug, because the gas, drain and power rough-ins all follow the cabinet plan. After that the house goes up in the same order the inspectors visit, and the quote is written in that sequence.
Underground first
After the debris release, the lot is surveyed and any surviving slab or footing is tested. New work starts below grade, with footings, drain lines and the pipes that will sit under the kitchen and baths. Gas and electrical conduit that must run under the floor are placed at the same time. All of it is inspected before concrete covers it. A mistake under a slab is the hardest one to fix, which is why the layout has to be final when this stage begins.
Frame, rough-in, kitchen finish
Framing goes up, then the roof, and the plumbing, gas, electrical and ventilation runs go through the open walls. The inspector reads the frame first and the rough-ins next. Insulation and drywall follow, then base cabinets. Countertops are measured only after the cabinets are set, so the schedule holds a gap for fabrication. Backsplash and appliances come last, once the surfaces around them are done. Final inspection comes after the last of these, with the kitchen checked for hood operation, gas connections and outlet protection.

Fire Rebuild & Reconstruction in Valley Village: questions to settle first
Yes, inside setbacks, height and lot coverage. Changes are easiest on paper and get harder in sequence: before the slab, before framing, before drywall. The kitchen is the room that stops accepting changes first, since its pipes go in earliest.
Before any footing, the lot needs a written release confirming debris removal is complete, verified utility shutoffs, and test results on whatever slab or footing remains. Plans go through LADBS plan check, and the inspection schedule is laid out in the order the work will be reached.
The quote is grouped by the stage of construction each item belongs to, so a line can be matched to the adjuster's scope and also to the inspection that closes it. Work added by current code is marked. The carrier decides what is covered.
