There is a small but active studio in this area that I have done work
on. Everybody is pretty much on target. However, there also can be a
fair amount of plastics. This particular place has a full scale model
of a WWII anti-aircraft gun made of foam, cardboard and paper machet.
NFPA 140 should be your guide.

Before it was taxed into Vancouver, BC there was an active movie world
up here. Pioneer Square was used for period work because unlike in
most cities the modern downtown grew only to the north of the old
downtown instead of surrounding it. Setting up exterior shots was much
easier. I've worked on these sound stages and even when they build
interiors with open fronts and no roofs they're typically on elevated
platforms. The lights are very hot and they worry about setting off
the sprinklers (and I suspect that the worry comes from at least one
past incident but has morphed into an always) but maybe not in a tall
building like you've described. They also bring in lots and lots of
stuff so the analogy of a manufactured home factory is pretty right on
only with lots more temporary stuff.
