Along those lines, Pali Builds compiled a comphrensive database of architects, designers, demolition and electrician companies, land-use consultants, fire resistant product suppliers, pool landscapers, general contractors, soil experts, structural engineers and more. As of now, Pali Builds has been fully self-funded by Renfro and Kamdar and remains a two-man operation with the occasional support from subcontractors. To cover costs, Pali Builds works with community members on navigating insurance, using design and property claims software to generate estimates that can range between $5,000 and $6,000. Pali Builds is considering scaling its services up to other geographies as well. Berman agrees that Pali Builds “absolutely has a scalable opportunity,” he said, referring to Altadena but also as a template for other cities who endure natural disasters in the future.
