Engineering Coordination — Slabs and Foundations in Malibu, CA

Engineering Coordination

We coordinate directly with your engineer of record and handle City of Malibu inspection scheduling — rebar placement is inspected before every structural pour.

Built for Malibu Conditions

We place structural slabs for new residences, garages, workshops, ADUs, and equipment pads, and pour foundations that follow the geotechnical and structural engineering rather than a generic detail. Coastal projects typically call for 4,000–4,500 PSI concrete with a low water-cement ratio to resist chloride intrusion.

Malibu requires licensed contractors, and homeowners can verify a license through the CSLB before signing anything. We also form and pour footing underpinning for hillside foundation repair where settlement or slope movement has occurred.

Concrete Slabs & Foundations in Malibu, CA FAQs

How thick is a residential slab?

4 inches for standard slab-on-grade, 5–6 inches with tighter rebar spacing for garage floors and vehicle loads.

Why do hillside lots need caissons?

Malibu's canyons combine steep grades, expansive clays, and shallow bedrock — drilled caissons with grade beams transfer the load past unstable surface soil to stable bearing material.

Do foundations need a permit?

Yes. Foundations and structural slabs require a building permit from the City of Malibu plus stamped engineering.

Can you repair a settling foundation?

Yes, we form and pour footing underpinning for hillside foundation repair where settlement or slope movement has occurred.
