2025 Palisades Wildfire
If you’ve lost a home in Malibu due to the 2025 Palisades wildfire, rebuilding is far more complex than a standard construction project. Coastal and hillside properties require a highly regulated, multi-phase process that demands deep local experience. Waconah Construction manages every stage of the Malibu rebuild process, including environmental and coastal clearances, geotechnical investigations, surveys, grading plans, and updated architectural and structural designs that comply with today’s strict fire, coastal, and seismic codes.
We coordinate permits, agency approvals, and all city and county communication to reduce delays and avoid costly missteps, providing Malibu homeowners with a clear, well-managed path from loss to a fully compliant rebuild.

Why Build an ADU in Malibu?
In Malibu, an ADU is a strategic way to add livable square footage, create flexible housing, and increase long-term property value without altering the primary residence. ADUs are commonly used as guest houses, private family quarters, staff housing, or income-producing rentals, all while complying with California’s ADU regulations and local coastal requirements. When properly designed and permitted, an ADU allows Malibu property owners to fully utilize their lot in a high-value coastal market while maintaining privacy, architectural consistency, and site integrity.
Your ADU Options
Malibu ADUs can take several forms, including detached backyard structures, garage conversions, above-garage units, and fully custom guest houses. Each option requires careful planning around zoning, setbacks, utilities, grading, and coastal or hillside conditions. Waconah Construction manages the entire ADU process in-house, including design coordination, permitting, structural engineering, and construction. Every ADU is built with durable materials, refined finishes, and construction methods suited for coastal environments, ensuring long-term performance and seamless integration with the property.
