Smart Home for Pacific Palisades Rebuild Projects
If you’re rebuilding in Pacific Palisades after the 2025 fires, this is your moment to build the home you always envisioned — with smart home infrastructure designed right from the foundation up.
Smart Home Planning for Pacific Palisades Rebuild Homes
The devastating 2025 Palisades Fire created an unprecedented rebuilding moment for one of Southern California’s most beloved communities. GWI is working directly with architects, builders, and homeowners to ensure that rebuilt Pacific Palisades homes are equipped with the smart home infrastructure they need from day one — not as an afterthought, but as a core element of the rebuild design.
New construction is the optimal time to implement smart home technology. When walls are open, conduit runs are clean, and infrastructure is being built fresh, GWI can design systems of extraordinary capability at significantly lower installation cost than retrofit work. Pacific Palisades rebuild projects represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build exactly the home you want — and GWI is here to help you realize that vision.
Our team has already partnered with multiple Palisades rebuild projects, working alongside architects from Marmol Radziner, Griffin Enright, and other firms serving the community. We bring a deep understanding of new construction timelines, permitting requirements, and the coordination necessary to deliver flawless smart home systems in new builds.

Building Forward in Pacific Palisades
The Palisades rebuild presents an opportunity not just to replace what was lost, but to build something better. GWI encourages rebuild clients to think comprehensively about their new home’s technology infrastructure — from the structured wiring closet to the outdoor speaker locations to the equipment room that will house the automation system for decades to come.
We offer a complimentary rebuild consultation for Pacific Palisades homeowners and their design teams. We’ll review your architectural plans, identify technology integration opportunities, and provide a comprehensive low-voltage specification that your general contractor can incorporate into the construction budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I bring GWI into my Pacific Palisades rebuild project?
Ideally during the design development phase — before construction drawings are finalized. This allows us to specify conduit, outlet locations, and equipment rooms that make installation clean and cost-effective.
What smart home systems do you recommend for rebuilt Palisades homes?
For new construction, we typically recommend Control4 EA-5 or EA-6 automation, Lutron Homeworks QSX lighting, structured wiring with fiber backbone, and a dedicated AV room. Investment typically ranges from $150,000–$500,000.
Can GWI coordinate with my architect and general contractor?
Yes — this is exactly how we prefer to work. GWI provides detailed low-voltage specifications, shop drawings, and ongoing construction site coordination to ensure perfect integration.
Does GWI have experience with fire-resilient or defensible-space technology?
Yes. We specify UL-listed smoke and heat detection integrated with the automation system, remote monitoring, and emergency alert protocols designed for wildfire-prone areas.
