Construction permit platform PermitFlow has launched ReconstructLA, a program aimed at easing the permitting and rebuilding process for Los Angeles residents impacted by the recent wildfires.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Today, construction permit platform PermitFlow has launched ReconstructLA, a program aimed at easing the permitting and rebuilding process for Los Angeles residents impacted by the recent wildfires. Additionally, several other construction tech companies have agreed to participate in ReconstructLA, including AIA Contract Documents, BigRentz, BlueBeam, Buildxact, The Contractor Consultants, and Miter.

“We have team members, clients, and partners in California and understand the challenges of rebuilding,” said PermitFlow co-founder and CEO Francis Thumpasery. “Government measures are easing the burden on homeowners and builders, and we want to provide even more ease-of-mind as Angelenos rebuild.”

“We have team members, clients, and partners living and working in California, and we understand the challenges of rebuilding after disaster strikes,” said PermitFlow co-founder and CEO Francis Thumpasery. “Measures are being taken at the government level to lessen the burden on homeowners, builders, and contractors, and we want to help provide even more ease-of-mind as Angelenos rebuild.”

PermitFlow is a centralized platform that helps home builders and contractors manage all aspects of construction permitting, from preparation and submission through approval. With real-time updates and complete transparency, builders and contractors can track permit status at a glance.
