Malibu

As an internationally active company specializing in project management and developer representation, we have continually evolved over the years to ensure optimal service for our clients.

California’s construction legislation is renowned for its complexity and rigor. This is where WBRE plays a crucial role in ensuring that each project meets the highest standards without compromising the creative vision.

California building codes have long been known for their strict rules and regulations, particularly regarding environmental and fire protection. These regulations have become even stricter in recent years to address the rising challenges of climate change and coastal landscape preservation. Malibu, with its unique geographic location and rich ecology, pushes these regulations to the limit and often extends them further.

One of the most challenging regulations for developers and building owners in Malibu concerns the height and size of buildings. Malibu is committed to preserving its picturesque coastal panorama, resulting in strict height restrictions to ensure buildings blend into the natural landscape and maintain views for all residents. This has led to the creation of architectural masterpieces that are not only luxurious but also aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly.

Another significant issue in Malibu is environmental protection. Developers must conduct extensive environmental assessments and ensure that their projects do not negatively impact local flora and fauna. This often means leaving certain areas of the property undisturbed or using alternative construction techniques to minimize environmental impact. Given Malibu’s susceptibility to wildfires, the city also places great emphasis on fire protection. Therefore, strict regulations apply regarding the use of fire-resistant materials and the arrangement of buildings to prevent the spread of fires.

In the construction of a luxury residential building, WBRE’s main task was to manage the logistics and coordination between German specialist companies and suppliers and local American businesses. The combination of German engineering and American construction expertise often yields outstanding results but requires meticulous planning and coordination.
