This page details Eagle Builders and its experience in the field of earthquake hazard reduction (seismic retrofitting) and historic restoration construction. Eagle Builders started their first seismic retrofit projects in 1984 on P*ssy Cat Theater's (that's right, the old Adult Movie Houses. They were originally ornate movie theaters). They occupied unreinforced brick (unreinfornced masonry common called URM's) buildings throughout the southern california area. We kept busy working on these types of brick buildings in the general Los Angeles area, where there were over 8,000 URM's in the City of Los Angeles for quite a few years. It was during this period that we worked on the Cameo Theater (built in the 1880's as a vaudeville palace) on Broadway in Los Angeles. The engineering firm was Kariotis and Associates and we worked with Nels Roselund, an engineer from that firm. It was the first building completed under new standards for the upgrading of brick buildings (it was called ABK Methodology and later became the UCBC stand (Uniform Code for Building Conservation)). It was also during these years that we worked on various churches of many denominations, industrial buildings, a few houses and apartments. The 1987 Whittier earthquake was a wake up call for many municipalities who started implementing seismic upgrade programs.
