Clear Language

What StackHaus Does vs. What the $7,500 Is

There's often confusion about the cost to build with StackHaus and the cost of the initial feasibility study. Here's exactly what each is.

What StackHaus Does

The full rebuild service

StackHaus is a single contract that handles your entire rebuild from start to move-in:

  • Insurance recovery management — we dispute lowball offers, handle appeals, and navigate FEMA
  • Design and engineering — reinforced concrete, fire-hardened specification
  • Permits and approvals — we manage all city/county requirements
  • Construction — built with precision, delivered in ~12 months from permit issuance

Pricing: Fixed and locked at contract signing. Typical LA fire-zone rebuilds: $650–$1,100 per sq ft — fully hardened, permits and insurance included.

What the $7,500 Is

The feasibility deposit

The $7,500 is a 48-hour written feasibility study — a deposit that is fully credited toward your construction contract if you move forward.

  • Site analysis: buildability, zoning, setbacks, lot constraints
  • Fire-code and AB 462 applicability review
  • Insurance gap analysis — what your settlement leaves uncovered
  • Go/no-go recommendation with fixed-price path if you proceed

"You are not paying for a study — you are making a deposit on your project."

Important

The $7,500 is non-refundable once work begins on your project. It is a deposit, not a study purchase.
