Tenant Improvements in Burbank
Tenant improvements in Burbank, planned around landlord consent, city plan review and the paths water takes at the entry and the roof.
An inland suite can stay dry for months, then a hard storm shows exactly where water wants to go. On a Burbank build-out we trace those paths before any finish goes in: how the entry threshold sheds runoff, where a new ramp or landing pitches, and which roof drains serve the space. Each of those lands on the drawings that the landlord and the plan reviewer both read.
Runoff at the door
A storefront sill is the lowest dry point between the sidewalk and the carpet. When the entry gets a new accessible ramp or landing, its surface has to pitch gently enough to meet accessibility rules and still send water away from the glass. Flashing beneath the threshold, a continuous sealant bead around the frame and a drain inlet near the landing keep wind-driven rain off the slab edge. We probe the existing base and slab edge for old staining before deciding how much gets replaced.
Roof drains and the landlord
When the lease leaves the roof with the landlord, any new rooftop equipment, vent or drain tie-in needs the landlord's roofer and written consent. Roof drains and overflow scuppers above the suite get checked for debris before demolition begins, because a clogged drain can turn a hard storm into a stained ceiling. If new equipment needs a curb, we draw the flashing detail and agree it with the landlord before the unit is ordered. Condensate lines from new cooling equipment run to an approved drain shown on the plan.
Tenant Improvements in Burbank: common questions
Moving an exit, raising the occupant count, changing the use or reworking a restroom can each pull upgrades into the scope. Burbank's building department reads the route from the public way to the entrance, exit capacity and fire separation between suites. We list every trigger on the opening layout so the budget carries it from day one.
The alteration clause or work letter may require the landlord's written approval of the drawing set and of the contractor before demolition starts. We read that clause with you, send the landlord a set that is easy to review, and apply for the permit after the consent is signed.
Yes, as long as the set shows the suite's real condition. We price from it, then send back a short list of gaps, such as a restroom clearance nobody drew, a ceiling height that clashes with new ductwork, or a roof tie-in missing from the plans. Each gap is priced beside the main figure, so the landlord can answer it directly.
