Slab-on-Grade
Standard residential slabs run 4 inches over 4 inches of compacted base; vehicle and RV areas move up to 5–6 inches with #4 rebar on 16-inch centers, always with a 10-mil vapor barrier.

On Malibu hillsides that often means drilled caissons with grade beams; on flatter lots, conventional continuous footings or a mat foundation, sized to the soils report.

We coordinate directly with your engineer of record and handle City of Malibu inspection scheduling — rebar placement is inspected before every structural pour.
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.
4 inches for standard slab-on-grade, 5–6 inches with tighter rebar spacing for garage floors and vehicle loads.
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.
Yes. Foundations and structural slabs require a building permit from the City of Malibu plus stamped engineering.
