Autodesk supports pre-approved home designs and AIpowered permitting to accelerate LA wildfire recovery
creating a first-of-its-kind catalog of modular, pre-approved home designs for survivors of fires in the Los Angeles region. The plans provided through TFCF are expected to reduce architectural and permitting costs for survivors – which can often exceed tens of thousands of dollars – by up to 95 %. The plans will also help cut permitting timelines – which can take up to a year – down to a matter of weeks.
Autodesk is also funding an AI-powered software tool to supercharge the approval of building permits and speed recovery from the LA Fires, in partnership with Governor Gavin Newsom, LA Rises and other companies.
A utodesk has announced new funding, technology and support to accelerate rebuilding efforts in wildfireaffected areas of Los Angeles, following this January’ s devastating fires across the region.
Autodesk is partnering with The Foothill Catalog Foundation( TFCF), a nonprofit organisation and network of volunteers
“ Our technology powers the industries that are rebuilding Los Angeles – from planning, architecture, engineering and manufacturing to construction,” said Andrew Anagnost, President and CEO, Autodesk.“ This is about designing and building for resilience – not just to recover from disaster, but to efficiently scale solutions, inspire recovery models everywhere and futureproof our communities.”
