Living in Los Angeles County means preparing for earthquakes — not reacting to them.
At 911 Construction & Electric Inc., we specialize in seismic retrofits and structural safety upgrades that protect your property, tenants, and investment while keeping you compliant with local building codes.
Our licensed team strengthens existing structures to withstand seismic forces, minimize damage, and meet Los Angeles’ mandatory retrofit ordinances.
A seismic retrofit reinforces your building’s foundation and framing so it performs better during an earthquake.
We identify structural vulnerabilities, design tailored reinforcement plans, and execute upgrades with precision — ensuring safety and compliance.
Typical retrofit improvements include:
Foundation bolting and anchor installation
Shear wall and plywood reinforcement
Cripple wall bracing and framing upgrades
Steel moment frame and column strengthening
Soft-story retrofit for multi-unit buildings
Structural connector and hold-down installation
We provide retrofit solutions for a wide range of commercial and residential structures:
Soft-story apartments and condos
Commercial and office buildings
Warehouses and industrial facilities
Multi-family and mixed-use properties
Older homes built before modern seismic codes
