Rebuilding After the Labor Day Fires

The Warden family lost their home in the catastrophic 2020 Labor Day wildfires that devastated the Detroit, Oregon area. NW Rebuild Project stepped in to provide full architectural design and permit-ready construction documents at no cost — making this our first completed pro bono rebuild.

The home was designed in Autodesk Revit, allowing us to produce accurate construction documents and give the Wardens a full 3D view of their future home before a single nail was driven. Christian Aid Ministries provided volunteer labor for the build.
