What makes ground up & fire rebuild construction different in Burbank
Burbank runs its own building department with permit timelines separate from LADBS. The housing stock spans 1920s Spanish Revival bungalows in Magnolia Park, 1940s and 1950s ranches in the Rancho district, and hillside parcels in the Burbank foothills. Most kitchen and bath remodels open walls to original galvanized or copper supply lines and electrical service that hasn't been upgraded since the original build.
Most Burbank homes were built before 1980. That means galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical panels, original gas runs, and rough-in plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. Once walls open during a ground up & fire rebuild construction project, we expect to bring the underlying systems to current code, not as a surprise, as a plan.
Burbank runs its own permitting through City of Burbank. Plan-check timelines run on a separate clock from LADBS. We've worked through the local department often enough to know what their reviewers flag and what they wave through, so we submit the right drawing set the first time.
Common architecture in Burbank: Spanish Colonial Revival, Ranch, Mid-Century Modern. We design san fernando valley renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.
