Permit Office (AHJ)
City of San Bernardino Community Development Department
San Bernardino County · California
MEP, structural, civil, and energy-compliance engineering for San Bernardino projects — permitted through City of San Bernardino Community Development Department and designed to the city's adopted codes and amendments.
Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design — engineered as one system, stamped by licensed professionals, and documented for fast permit approval.
Structural systems designed to the loads your state actually imposes — gravity, seismic, wind, and snow — with drawings built to get approved the first time.
Site engineering that clears local review — grading, drainage, and utilities designed to each jurisdiction's published standards from day one.
Energy compliance handled as engineering, not paperwork — documentation matched to the exact code edition your permitting jurisdiction enforces.
The California Building Standards Code is the statewide baseline, while San Bernardino's Development Code and local ordinances govern zoning, site development, and other municipal requirements. The City's published Development Code and current permit guidance should control the local amendment and process check for a particular project; do not substitute a neighboring Inland Empire jurisdiction's code package.
San Bernardino's commercial market is shaped by Inland Empire logistics and distribution, the I-215 and I-10 transportation corridors, healthcare and education, airport-related activity, and infill or adaptive-reuse development. Large warehouses and industrial conversions bring high electrical service, truck-court, fire-flow, stormwater, and rooftop-equipment coordination needs; foothill and older urban parcels can add grading, seismic, and existing-utility constraints.
Reviewed 2026-09-11. Code editions and local requirements can change; confirm the current requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before design.
The City publishes an online-permit route and a development-code portal for projects in city limits. Commercial work can require coordinated building, planning, fire, public-works, grading, and utility review; confirm the application path, entitlement status, and any separate site or right-of-way permits with the City before a complete submittal.
