Building an ADU in Los Angeles in 2026: What Homeowners Should Know Now
Thank You to Industrial Equipment News for Covering the Aloe Blacc Altadena Rebuild
Over the past year, we’ve shared pieces of Aloe Blacc’s rebuild in Altadena across conversations, site visits, and community discussions. It’s a project that’s become familiar to many homeowners navigating wildfire recovery in Los Angeles.
What we haven’t shared as widely is the broader industry interest the project has generated.
We’d like to say thank you to Industrial Equipment News for recently featuring the project and highlighting how factory-built, fire-resilient homes are changing the way wildfire rebuilds happen in California.
The article captures an important point that often gets overlooked in post-fire reconstruction:
“Our community can’t survive if rebuilding takes years. Families need permanent, safe homes they can move into quickly.”

The piece goes deeper into the structural decisions behind the rebuild — including non-combustible steel framing, factory-controlled construction, and ember-resistant building envelopes — and why those choices matter in wildfire-prone communities like Altadena.
