An ADU is a house in miniature and gets built like one. The unit may stand detached on the lot or attach to the existing home, and that call is made against the property. From there: drawings, plan coordination, permit support. Then ground-up construction, which takes in the foundation, the frame, the roof, the windows and doors, and the exterior finish. Then the tie-ins that bring water, drainage and electrical service to the unit from the house supply. Then interior finish work: bathroom, kitchenette, flooring, cabinetry, lighting, paint. A Malibu build is not complete until the final walkthrough is done and the punch list from it is cleared.
A Malibu ADU is defined before it is priced. Definition means naming the unit type, the footprint, the service routes and the finish package, and that is what the scope of work produced at the free onsite visit sets out. The estimate is prepared against that scope and it is free as well. Once it is agreed, permit filing sits with MyCali Builders rather than the homeowner. Financing is available. The contractor is licensed and insured, CSLB #1072368, in business since 2020, and the completed unit carries a warranty of 5 years.

I recently hired My Cali Builders for a backyard remodel and couldn't be happier.
Danny and his team were professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with.
They really paid attention to the details and brought my vision to life.
The quality of the work exceeded my expectations from start to finish.
Everything was done cleanly and on schedule, which I really appreciated.
Danny made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
The backyard now looks amazing and feels like a completely new space.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable contractors.
Was very impressed! Prompt. Highly professional. Thorough. Excellent feedback and service while response completing my job. I absolutely would hire them again and recommend them without any concerns!
I began my Yelp search for a company to perform structural repairs and ultimately chose 5 companies, scheduling each of them for a representative to visit and discuss my needs. I chose My Cali Builders based upon Danny's (owner) review of the work and how he defined the scope of the work. The other representatives vacillated on the scope of the work and attached various caveats. My Cali Builders also gave me the best bid. So I hired them and boy, am I glad I did. Work was performed quickly, efficiently and the finish work was excellent. Every task I initially discussed with Danny was completed. Danny's crew including Francisco and Jaime, were top notch and pleasant. Each day, refuse and trash were removed. Every day, Danny either visited or texted to advise on progress and to insure the work was progressing as discussed and to ask if I was satisfied and happy. I can't convey in words how much I appreciated My Cali Builders. Look no further, they are the best I've ever encountered.
Danny Raz is a man of action; the work was done promptly and even finished ahead of schedule. The workers were polite, respectful, of cleaned up well after the job.

There is no advertised price for an ADU in Malibu. What determines the number is the unit itself: how big, detached or attached, how far the water, sewer and electrical runs travel, and what the interior finish covers. The free onsite visit is where those are decided, and the written detailed scope of work that follows is the document a figure is prepared from.
