Burbank is an independent city with 1930s–50s cottages, the Rancho's equestrian properties, and homeowners who work the studios and expect professional work. The city runs its own permit counter with its own rules — stricter than LA in places, but predictable when you know it, and we do.
Burbank runs its own ADU standards — objective design rules, its own counter, its own quirks. We build to them regularly, and Burbank rents justify doing it right: units here lease fast to studio and media workers who want to walk or bike to work.
We're based in Mission Hills, so Burbank is home turf — walkthroughs usually happen within a couple of days.

Additions and junior units carved from existing space, with the required separate entrance and kitchen done to code.
Not every backyard building needs a full kitchen — we build casitas, studios, and offices to the same standard.
Trenching, sewer connections, panel upgrades, and meters — the part of ADU budgets everyone forgets. We price it up front.
Architectural plans, structural engineering, Title 24, and city plan check — or we build from the plans you already have.
Typical 2026 Los Angeles-area ranges including construction; plans, permits, and utility fees vary by city and site. Many owners see the unit pay for itself in 7–12 years of rent.
Permits here go through the City of Burbank's own Building & Safety — an organized, by-the-book department with its own ADU standards, and we build to them. We prepare the plans, pull the permits, and meet the inspectors — you never stand in a city line.
Turnkey garage conversions typically run $100k–$180k and detached new-build ADUs $250k–$400k+ — Burbank sits squarely in those ranges. Utilities and site conditions move the number, which is why we start with a free site check and give you a written, line-item price.
