WAG coordinates manufacturers, engineers, contractors and service professionals around documented property requirements and clearly defined project responsibilities.
The network is designed to help property owners identify qualified project participants without assuming that one company, product or delivery model is appropriate for every property.
Inclusion in the WAG network does not guarantee referrals, project awards or preferred status. Each project participant remains subject to property-specific qualifications, scope, availability, pricing and owner approval.
Review of experience, licensing, insurance, capability, service area and relevant wildfire-project experience.
Each participant remains responsible for its own proposal, contract, workmanship, design and professional obligations.
WAG helps align water, power, controls, construction, design and commissioning interfaces.
Participants are evaluated against the actual project—not simply their membership in a general contractor list.
A complete project may require wildfire specialists, engineers, pump professionals, electricians, excavators, controls integrators, builders, landscape contractors and long-term service providers. The WAG network helps organize those disciplines around one property-specific project basis.
Wildfire-resilience projects often cross several technical and construction disciplines that rarely operate under one contract.
Licensing, climate, construction practices, permitting, service availability and wildfire conditions vary significantly by location.
A list of contractors is not enough. Responsibilities, interfaces, prerequisites and testing obligations must also be coordinated.
WAG provides a common project framework while each participant remains responsible for its own professional and contractual scope.
Contractor selection should account for project complexity, technical capability, regional experience and long-term service.
Completed systems need qualified companies available for testing, seasonal service, repairs and future property changes.
WAG considers companies and professionals whose capabilities may support assessment, design, construction, commissioning or long-term readiness.
Professionals supporting wildfire assessment, defensible space, vegetation management, structure hardening and mitigation planning.
Hydraulic, civil, electrical, structural, mechanical and other engineers providing regulated professional design services.
Architects, custom builders and general contractors coordinating wildfire improvements with estate construction and renovation.
Pump, well, plumbing, storage, filtration, irrigation and mechanical contractors supporting water supply and distribution.
Electricians, generator contractors, battery-system professionals and specialists supporting resilient power infrastructure.
Professionals supporting monitoring, communication, automation, activation logic, system controls and remote operation.
Excavation, trenching, concrete, drainage, access, restoration and site-infrastructure contractors.
Companies capable of recurring testing, preventive maintenance, winterization, repairs and long-term system support.
Qualification requirements vary by discipline and project type. WAG may request documentation, references, interviews and project-specific verification before involving a participant.
A company may be qualified for one scope, geography or project type and not another. WAG may update, limit, suspend or discontinue network participation based on documentation, availability, performance or changes in capability.
Maintain required trade, business and professional licenses for the services and jurisdictions in which work is performed.
Provide current insurance documentation appropriate to the participant’s professional, construction and operational scope.
Demonstrate experience with comparable properties, systems, equipment, environments or technical scopes.
Maintain qualified personnel, tools, equipment, manufacturer knowledge and field capability required for the proposed work.
Provide references, representative projects and information sufficient to evaluate relevant past performance.
Maintain appropriate safety programs, employment practices, permitting procedures and regulatory compliance.
Provide clear proposals, exclusions, submittals, testing records, warranties, closeout documents and change information.
Clearly identify service areas, response limitations, seasonal availability, maintenance capacity and warranty procedures.
Network participation creates an opportunity to be considered for appropriate projects. It does not create exclusivity, employment, guaranteed referrals or automatic owner approval.
Qualified participants may be considered for project-specific introductions, proposal opportunities, design coordination, field support, commissioning or long-term service.
Participation does not create a franchise, dealership, employment relationship, exclusive territory or guaranteed stream of work.
WAG may identify, evaluate or recommend project participants, but the property owner retains final authority over contractor selection, contracts, pricing, scope and accepted project risks.

WAG’s review is intended to support project coordination and participant selection. It does not guarantee future performance, replace independent due diligence or create a warranty on behalf of any network participant.
The next section contains the network FAQs and the Contractor and Professional Network application form.
The WAG network helps organize qualified professionals around property-specific project requirements while preserving independent contractor and owner relationships.
Submit an initial company profile below. WAG may request licenses, insurance, references and additional documentation after reviewing the application.
Begin Network Application →The initial application does not itself create a project award, franchise, certification or exclusive relationship.
Any future participation fees, training requirements, technology costs or project-specific obligations would be disclosed separately before the applicant accepts them.
No. Network participation creates an opportunity to be considered for appropriate projects but does not guarantee referrals, proposal requests, project volume or revenue.
Yes. Applicants should identify the specific disciplines, geographic regions, equipment and project types they are qualified to support.
A company may be approved for a limited scope rather than every service it offers.
The selected participant generally contracts directly with the property owner, general contractor or other project entity identified for that scope.
WAG does not automatically become the general contractor, employer or guarantor of the participant’s work.
Not without prior written authorization. Network participation does not automatically grant permission to use WAG trademarks, logos, project information or marketing claims.
Network participation does not ordinarily create an exclusive territory or prohibit a company from working with other customers, manufacturers or project partners.
Confidential project information and any project-specific restrictions must still be respected.
