Rebuilding Malibuone home at a time
You lost more than a house. We’re a licensed, local team just up the coast in Pacific Palisades, handling the design, permits, Coastal Zone approvals, insurance, and construction so you can focus on coming home.
We Understand
Rebuilding After the Fire in Malibu
Isn’t a Normal Construction Job
It’s insurance paperwork, coastal permits, architects, and decisions you never asked to make, all while you’re displaced from the community you love. The right builder removes that weight.
We work right up the coast in Pacific Palisades, minutes from Malibu. We know the canyons, the coastline, the City of Malibu process, and what it takes to bring a Malibu home back to life, better and safer than before.

Built Safer Than Before
Fire-Hardened Design for the
Malibu Coast & Canyons
Your new home should be more resilient than the one you lost. We build to California’s Chapter 7A wildfire standards for the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), the code that governs Malibu’s canyons and coastline.
Roof & Exterior
Class A Roofing & Noncombustible Siding
Class A fire-rated roofing, ignition-resistant or noncombustible exterior walls, and boxed-in eaves that deny embers a way in.
Ember Defense
Ember-Resistant Venting
WUI-rated vents with fine mesh screening at attic and crawlspace openings, the No. 1 way homes ignite in a wildfire.
Openings
Tempered & Multi-Pane Glazing
Dual-pane, tempered windows and fire-rated doors that resist radiant heat and won’t fail when it matters most.
Site & Landscape
Defensible Space by Design
Non-combustible hardscape zones, smart plant placement, and a five-foot ember-resistant perimeter designed into the plan from day one.
Systems
Sprinklers & Hardened Utilities
Interior fire sprinklers, protected utility connections, and options like exterior defense systems for added peace of mind.
Coastal Durability
Built for Salt Air & Canyon Wind
Materials chosen for ocean salt air, canyon wind, and fire exposure, so your home holds up to everything the Malibu coast throws at it.
What Makes Malibu Different
We Know the Coastal
Rebuild Permit Process
Rebuilding in Malibu isn’t like rebuilding anywhere else. We build every project around the coastal rules so yours doesn’t stall.
Why Malibu is its own world: Malibu sits inside California’s Coastal Zone, so a rebuild can involve Coastal Development Permit considerations on top of standard City of Malibu plan check and LA County coordination. The good news for fire-affected owners: the City of Malibu offers streamlined, like-for-like rebuild pathways that can waive or simplify many requirements when you rebuild in substantially the same footprint.
We know the City of Malibu Planning Department process, the Coastal Zone nuances, and the county coordination, and we keep your application complete, because incomplete packages are what actually stall a rebuild. Timelines and requirements vary by lot and scope; we give you a realistic estimate up front, not a sales promise.
