In the aftermath of the devastating January wildfires that swept through Los Angeles, countless homeowners and builders face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives and communities. Recognizing the immense challenges ahead, Digs is proud to join ReconstructLA, a collaborative initiative aimed at streamlining the reconstruction process and providing much-needed support to those affected.
What is ReconstructLA?
Spearheaded by PermitFlow, ReconstructLA is a coalition of construction technology companies dedicated to easing the burden of rebuilding in Los Angeles. The program offers resources such as a free email hotline for homeowners and builders seeking guidance, as well as free or discounted access to various tools and services designed to expedite the reconstruction process.
Digs' Commitment
At Digs, we understand the complexities involved in home construction and the critical importance of effective collaboration among builders, vendors, and homeowners. Given the scope of the challenge ahead, as well as the ongoing labor shortage in construction, time and cost efficiency will be critical to timely progress. As part of ReconstructLA, we are offering support to those impacted by the recent Los Angeles wildfires:
- 50% Discount: Builders working on projects related to wildfire recovery can access Digs' AI-powered collaboration platform at a 50% discount.
- 50% Charitable Donation: All proceeds from these discounted subscriptions will be donated to charitable organizations directly supporting individuals affected by the fires.

Our platform centralizes communication and documentation, providing tools for pre-construction planning, file management, and warranty support, all tailored to streamline the homebuilding process.
