Fire rebuild in Burbank
Fire rebuild in Burbank from the cleared lot up: slab testing, a survey, a written scope, engineering, city permits and a staged build to the current code.
On a cleared Burbank lot, our opening look goes to the slab. Long exposure to heat can leave concrete and its rebar weaker than they appear, so we note cracking, flaking and any exposed steel, then bring in an engineer to test it before plans lean on it. Next we find the utility stubs, the survey markers and the old house dimensions. Those notes open your written scope.
Reading what the fire left
A slab that looks sound on top can hide damage underneath, which is why an engineer takes samples and reports on strength before anyone designs around it. While that test runs, we locate the sewer lateral and arrange a camera inspection, check whether the gas line was capped at the meter, and confirm what the electric service will need to reconnect. Each finding goes into the scope with a plain note on what it changes. A reusable slab saves a whole phase of work, and a failed one moves foundation work to the front of the schedule.
Built for an inland valley lot
Burbank sits in the San Fernando Valley, and an inland valley lot generally deals with hard sun, dry wind and the odd heavy storm. We plan the new roof, attic and walls for that: a roof assembly with a Class A rating, attic vents with fine mesh that keeps embers out, and wall insulation sized for summer heat gain. If the lot sits in a mapped fire hazard area, those details become requirements. Outside one, they remain sensible choices. The city's building department reviews the drawings, and we answer its comments before the framing crew arrives.
