WAG provides independent wildfire property assessments that evaluate your structure, defensible space, water supply, power availability, access, infrastructure and protection options.
We do not begin with a manufacturer or predetermined system. We begin with the property, establish what it requires and create a clear path toward implementation.
A WAG Wildfire Property Assessment is a structured evaluation of the property, its vulnerabilities, its existing infrastructure and the practical options available to improve wildfire resilience.
We document the conditions that affect system performance before any product or contractor is selected. The result is a clear Property Requirement Profile that can guide planning, vendor evaluation, budgeting, design coordination and implementation.
Wildfire resilience depends on more than vegetation or sprinklers. WAG evaluates the complete property so individual improvements work together as a coordinated strategy.
We evaluate the surrounding environment and the site conditions that affect ignition exposure, fire behavior, response access and the feasibility of protective improvements.
We review the structure for features that can increase vulnerability to embers, radiant heat and direct flame contact, along with practical opportunities for improvement.
We document the water resources available to the property and evaluate whether they can support the owner's desired wildfire protection strategy.
We evaluate how protection systems will operate during utility outages, evacuation, severe weather and periods when the property is unoccupied.
Every assessment follows a consistent documentation framework. Findings and recommendations remain property specific, while the evaluation process stays structured, repeatable and transparent.
The value of the assessment is not just the site visit. It is the organized, property-specific documentation that helps the owner understand risk, compare options, budget intelligently and move into implementation with clarity.
A clear digital report documenting site conditions, infrastructure, vulnerabilities, priorities, system considerations and recommended next steps. The report becomes the basis for future design, vendor evaluation, budgeting and project coordination.
A concise overview of wildfire exposure, structural vulnerability, site conditions and the factors most likely to affect resilience.
Documentation of available sources, storage, pressure, pumping, distribution and constraints that may affect protection-system design.
Evaluation of electrical capacity, generator or battery support, activation requirements, monitoring and outage resilience.
Organized observations related to roofing, vents, attachments, defensible space, vegetation, access and other property conditions.
A comparison of practical improvement paths, including home hardening, vegetation management, infrastructure upgrades and active protection.
Preliminary budget ranges intended to support prioritization and planning before formal engineering, bidding or contractor pricing.
A documented set of project requirements that can be used to compare qualified products, manufacturers and installation contractors.
A structured record that can grow with the project to include plans, proposals, equipment, testing results, warranties and maintenance history.
Final deliverables depend on property size, number of structures, available records, testing requirements and the level of technical analysis selected. Engineering documents, stamped plans and contractor bids are separate services unless specifically included.
Each engagement follows a consistent workflow while remaining flexible enough to reflect the property’s size, complexity, infrastructure, location and owner objectives.
We begin with a focused conversation to understand the property, the owner’s concerns, existing wildfire improvements, project goals and the level of assessment required.
Before arriving, WAG reviews available property information so the field visit is focused, efficient and informed by known site conditions.
WAG documents the property’s structures, surrounding conditions, water infrastructure, power resources, access, existing systems and potential improvement areas.
Field findings are organized into a Property Requirement Profile that defines priorities, technical needs, constraints and the criteria future solutions should satisfy.
The owner receives a professional report and a guided review of the findings, recommendations, priorities, planning-level budgets and available implementation paths.
If the owner elects to proceed, WAG can remain involved to coordinate planning, vendor comparison, contractor proposals, implementation, commissioning and final documentation.
Owners are not required to use WAG for implementation. The assessment is designed to provide useful, independent guidance whether the owner proceeds immediately, phases the work over time or works with existing contractors and advisors.
WAG assessments are intended for owners and project teams navigating complex wildfire-resilience decisions, significant property values, multiple infrastructure systems or competing vendor recommendations.
Primary homes, second homes and mountain properties where owners want a clear understanding of vulnerabilities, options and priorities.
Larger properties with multiple structures, private water systems, extensive landscapes, agricultural assets or complex access conditions.
Shared-risk communities requiring consistent evaluation, common infrastructure planning and a coordinated implementation roadmap.
Resorts, campuses, hospitality properties, facilities and organizations evaluating wildfire exposure and critical infrastructure needs.
Owners, builders and architects seeking to incorporate wildfire resilience into planning before major construction decisions are finalized.
Contractors who want WAG to assess the property, define requirements and provide technical support while they retain the client and installation work.
Property owners who have already received a system proposal and want an independent review of scope, assumptions, infrastructure and tradeoffs.
Estate managers, brokers, family offices, insurance professionals and advisors seeking organized, property-specific wildfire documentation.
During the initial conversation, WAG determines whether the property is best suited for a desktop review, a full on-site assessment or a customized multi-structure engagement.
Every property and engagement is different, but these are the questions owners, contractors and project teams ask most often.
Tell us about the property, your concerns and any existing proposals. WAG can help determine the appropriate next step.
Request an Assessment →WAG is an independent advisory and project-management firm. We do not begin an engagement with a predetermined manufacturer, product or installation method.
When implementation is requested, WAG can help evaluate qualified systems and contractors, coordinate project participants and oversee the work on the owner's behalf.
No. The assessment stands on its own, and owners may use existing contractors, solicit additional proposals or phase improvements over time.
WAG recommendations are intended to help owners make informed decisions, not restrict their choices.
Yes. WAG can review existing proposals for assumptions, exclusions, water and power requirements, maintenance implications, project dependencies and alignment with the property's needs.
A proposal review may be performed as a focused standalone service or incorporated into a broader property assessment.
Timing depends on property size, location, number of structures, available records and the amount of technical analysis required.
Helpful information may include:
Missing records do not necessarily prevent an assessment. WAG will identify what information is available and document important unknowns.
Not unless specifically included in the written scope. The standard assessment provides planning, advisory and documentation services.
When a project requires licensed engineering, hydraulic calculations, electrical design, civil design, permitting or stamped construction documents, WAG can help coordinate the appropriate licensed professionals.
Yes. Optional project support may include:
These services are scoped and priced separately from the assessment.
Yes. Existing contractors can remain involved in the portions of the project they are qualified and selected to perform.
WAG can serve as a technical and project-management resource while helping the contractor retain the customer relationship and the installation work within its capabilities.
No. A qualified referring vendor is provided a fair opportunity to participate, but a referral does not guarantee recommendation, selection or award.
Recommendations remain based on the property requirements, documented capabilities, project constraints and owner priorities.
Yes. WAG is being developed to support wildfire-prone properties throughout the western United States.
Travel, local professional requirements, contractor availability, permitting and jurisdictional considerations are reviewed when the engagement is scoped.
No. Wildfire behavior is unpredictable, and no assessment, mitigation measure or active protection system can eliminate all risk or guarantee that a structure will survive.
The purpose of the assessment is to identify vulnerabilities, improve decision-making and develop practical strategies intended to increase resilience.
No. Insurance decisions remain solely with the carrier and underwriter. WAG does not promise coverage, renewal, eligibility or premium reductions.
The assessment can provide organized documentation of property conditions, improvements and infrastructure that an owner may choose to share with insurance professionals.
WAG provides advisory, assessment, coordination and project-management services. Legal, insurance, engineering, code and permitting questions may require review by the appropriate licensed or authorized professional.
