City of Burbank Building & Safety

Burbank administers its own building permits (not LA County). Most commercial tenant improvements and interior remodels fall under Tier 2 plan check via the ProjectDox portal. Simple cosmetic work is often Tier 1 or exempt.

Media & Office Substrates

Common conditions include open-plan production offices, existing demising walls, raised floors or data rooms in media suites, and mixed retail/office storefronts along Magnolia, Olive, and Victory corridors.

One License, Multi-Scope Delivery

Our B and C-33 licenses let us handle framing, drywall, electrical coordination, finishes, and final commercial paint or specialty coatings under one contract and warranty.

Burbank Market Reality

Projects range from creative-office TI near the studios to retail refreshes downtown and light-industrial upgrades near Hollywood Burbank Airport. Landlords and tenants both expect minimal disruption and clear permit coordination.

Process

Our Process

A clear five-step process tuned for commercial and production interiors in Burbank, with City of Burbank permitting and operational continuity built in.

1
Step 1

Assessment

On-site evaluation of the suite or floor. We document existing partitions, power capacity, HVAC zones, restrooms, accessibility conditions, and any landlord or park standards. Operational constraints (shoot schedules, retail hours, office occupancy) are mapped.

2
Step 2

Spec & Prep Plan

Detailed scope, finish schedule, and phasing plan. We separate daytime-compatible work from after-hours packages so media, retail, or office functions continue. Material selections favor durable commercial products suited to high-traffic Burbank spaces.

3
Step 3

Permits (When Required)

Cosmetic finishes (paint, flooring, like-for-like fixtures) often proceed without a full building permit. New walls, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or occupancy changes require City of Burbank Building & Safety plan check (typically Tier 2 via ProjectDox). We prepare submittals and pull permits as the licensed contractor.

4
Step 4

Execution

Phased construction with temporary barriers, dust control, and daily clean-up. Crews coordinate with property managers and tenants around production calendars or business hours. Supervision from our nearby Pasadena base keeps decisions fast.

5
Step 5

Walkthrough & Close-Out

Final inspection, punch list, and turnover package. We walk the space with the owner or facility manager, confirm finishes and systems, and provide as-built notes and warranty documentation.

Most Burbank sites are 15–25 minutes from our Pasadena headquarters at 1055 E Colorado Blvd, supporting same-day visits and responsive field supervision.

Who issues building permits in Burbank?

What code cycle applies in 2026?

Burbank adopted the 2025 California Building Code with local amendments effective January 1, 2026. Projects submitted on or after that date are reviewed under the 2025 code and Title 9 of the Burbank Municipal Code.

Are Title 24 and accessibility upgrades required?

Yes for permitted projects. Alterations must meet current Title 24 energy standards and California accessibility requirements (CBC Chapter 11B). Path-of-travel, restroom, and lighting-control upgrades are commonly triggered depending on valuation and scope.

FAQ

Commercial interior remodels and tenant improvements in Burbank and the broader Los Angeles market typically range from $80 to $220 per square foot in 2025–2026, depending on scope. Basic cosmetic refreshes (paint, flooring, lighting) land toward the lower end; full office or production build-outs with new partitions, restrooms, electrical, and HVAC modifications fall in the mid-to-upper range. Specialty or high-finish work can exceed $220/sf. These are planning ranges only—final pricing comes from an on-site assessment of existing conditions and desired scope.

Yes. We hold California CSLB License #1083764 for General Building (B) and Painting & Decorating (C-33). We are licensed, bonded, and insured and regularly pull permits through the City of Burbank Building & Safety Division.

If the work is purely cosmetic (paint, carpet, non-structural finishes), a building permit is usually not required. Adding or moving walls, changing electrical or plumbing, altering HVAC, or changing the use of the space requires a City of Burbank building permit and typically Tier 2 plan check. We handle the submittal process for clients.

Yes. Most of our Burbank projects are phased. We use temporary barriers, after-hours or weekend work packages, and strict dust and noise controls so media production, retail, or remaining office areas continue operating.

Second-generation office suites, existing demising walls, open-plan creative spaces, concrete or raised floors in production environments, and mixed retail/office storefronts are common. We design details and finishes that perform under high daily traffic and media-industry use.

Our Pasadena headquarters at 1055 E Colorado Blvd is approximately 15–25 minutes from most Burbank commercial and Media District sites under normal traffic. That proximity supports rapid site visits, material staging, and daily supervision.

Yes. We work directly for property owners, facility managers, and tenants. Scopes range from landlord base-building upgrades to full turn-key tenant improvement packages negotiated against a TI allowance.

Any permitted remodel must meet current Title 24 energy standards and California accessibility requirements. We coordinate the necessary upgrades (path of travel, restrooms, lighting controls, etc.) as part of the overall scope so the project clears final inspection.
