Envision entering your newly remodeled house and feeling an instant sensation of warmth and belonging. That’s the essence we capture at AV Design and Build. We don’t just do construction; we craft experiences that enhance your lifestyle. Based in the heart of Malibu, we understand the unique character of this coastal paradise. Every project starts with you, your vision, and your dreams. We dig deep to find out what really matters to our clients. This personalized approach makes your home morph into a sanctuary that feels distinctly yours.
Results that are truly extraordinary follow when we converse with clients. From the very first consultation, we ply every detail with our attentiveness. It’s not us that should be front and center; it’s you, and your wishes that make a space feel like home. We hold a mirror up to your desires and reflect them true. If you’re out there wondering who finds the time to think up awesome bajillion-dollar home remodeling schemes when surely they should be teaching at MIT, stop right there. Because it would take something like a mile high stack of MIT degrees for what we do (and better) not to happen. You’re proposing a home remodel? No problemo.
Every endeavor is an opportunity to narrate a singular tale. Our group is fervently interested in employing avant-garde techniques, but never at the expense of that age-old underpinning of exquisite workmanship. What you might call a room could be a workstation where innovation goes hand in hand with the sort of brilliance that lights up your eyes as you imagine the possibilities of the place. Every project becomes a test case for something more than a client's good wishes: it ought to incarnate a kind of good sense that makes the newly reconfigured kitchen a delight and the installation of a window seem almost magical.

Nothing short of an adventure, transforming a house into a dream home is a journey best undertaken with an experienced guide. It's one thing to have a vision for your space; it's quite another to realize it with the kind of artistry and craftsmanship that makes it feel truly yours.
At AV Design and Build, we understand the importance of that first conversation when hopes and dreams are shared and the kind of experience that helps them feel safe in the knowledge that their project will be one of a kind. We like to think of ourselves as partners with the homeowners we work with; together we chart courses through the myriad choices that lead to the right decisions for each space and make casual coffee chats part of our routine.
When it's a matter of living in lovely California, we recognize that ever-important trends come and go like the ocean's tides, but some things will always stand the test of time, like comfort and functionality.

Or a living room that's a perfect transition from indoor coziness to outdoor living. We turn that vision into reality by embracing every project's individual challenges and opportunities. In your search for home remodeling near you, we recognize that finding the right fit can feel all-consuming. With us, you'll find a team whose clear communication makes the process enjoyable and whose vision for your sight line makes them the perfect partners in your home remodeling project.
Our method isn't merely concerned with attractive designs; it's with forming areas that right off the bat feel like home. Maybe that is maintaining the old charm or introducing a contemporary twist; or perhaps it is an amalgam of both for something altogether a little more offbeat. Your home should reflect who you are, and the Material Obsession ethos is concerned with packing a personal style into every square inch. Imagine walking into your new home and immediately sensing that old familiar warmth, that welcome. Our aim is to make the remodeling process as thrilling and gratifying as a Malibu sunset.

Our experienced designers will work with you to create a vision for your new kitchen, bathroom, or cabinet layout. We then provide a detailed and transparent estimate, so you know exactly what to expect in terms of costs and timelines. This initial step ensures we are aligned with your vision and budget before any work begins
Once the design is approved, our skilled team gets to work, managing every aspect of the build-out with precision and care. We pride ourselves on a streamlined construction process that minimizes disruption to your daily life, keeping the job site clean and organized. You can expect regular updates and communication from your dedicated project manager throughout the entire process. Our commitment is to complete your project on time and to the highest standards of quality craftsmanship.
As we near completion, we conduct a thorough final walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets your expectations. This is your opportunity to review the finished work and point out any final adjustments that may be needed. We are not finished until you are completely satisfied and have signed off on your beautiful new space. Your final approval is the most important milestone in our process.
Envision yourself awakening in Malibu, the sound of waves subtly serenading you from somewhere not too far away, as they do morning after morning here. If Malibu's any sort of an insight into how to extend the serenity beyond just that sweet spot by the Pacific, consider these design moves from local architects and designers—each an inherent nod to Malibu's almost draconian quietude.
It can feel exciting to land on the mix of style and function that you want. Maybe you want a retreat in your bathroom that practically oozes with spa vibes—complete with calming lighting, natural materials, and a layout that practically invites zen-like relaxation. Or perhaps it’s your bedroom that’s begging for a seriously coastal moment, with paneling that looks like driftwood, textiles that could have come straight from the shore, and colors that are reminiscent of an ocean sunset. The design possibilities stretch from here to straight across the Channel. This is an artist community, after all, and the locals know plenty of ways to make personal statements. So why should your home be any different?
You might be picturing an outdoor oasis, where friends drop by for spontaneous barbecues.
Or perhaps you're imagining a serene nook, so perfect for reading, that you can't help but think it was designed with book-lovers in mind.
Beauty in design is about more than simply mirrors. It's about crafting a space that feels like home, that makes you want to light a fire and curl up with a good book, or host a barbecue on a summer day, without feeling any guilt that you really ought to be sunbathing instead.

Envision stepping into the kitchen of your dreams, or into a living room that's as arresting as it is functional.

We leave the path and the destination pretty wide open for you to choose so you can center what's being done on what you want most.

Indeed, residences in Malibu can be reconstructed. Those who own homes in this area may find that compliance with the local building code, zoning regulations, and some environmental considerations is necessary if they wish to have new construction that meets the standards set by Malibu's authorities. From a practical standpoint, they will also need to obtain permits and select designs that not only work with the local climate but also take potential disasters—like wildfires and earthquakes—into account.
Malibu's prime coastal location and stunning ocean views, combined with its desirable weather, make it an all-but-certain place for high property values. Factor in the limited land, strict building regulations, high-profile residents, and a milieu of "luxury living" that must pass for any sort of inadequate approaching Malibu, and you're looking at very, very high property prices in Malibu, indeed.
The expenses associated with erecting a dwelling in Malibu can fluctuate wildly based on a number of variables—like the home's location, its materials, and its overall design—that can cause the costs to swell. By and large, the construction itself will set you back at least $350 per square foot—and that's really the low end. Most building costs are in the $600 to $800 range, meaning that for a house with 2,000 square feet, you could be looking at anywhere from around $1.2 million (again, on the low end) to about $1.7 million or more to cover just the construction itself.
A contractor or a home remodeler is what you call a person who remodels homes.
Malibu's housing costs differ greatly according to site, scale, and almost endless variety of architectural forms and styles. The latest data pegs Malibu's median home price in the multi-millions, with numbers often stated between $3 million and $4 million or more. Besides mortgage amounts and principal payments, Malibu homeowners need to consider property taxes, which run roughly 1 percent of the home's value; insurance; maintenance; utilities; and any homeowner association fees that might apply. Add remodeling costs into the mix, and you're looking at some serious dough.
Rebuilding a home in Los Angeles has a price range as wide as the factors that influence it. Those factors are: location, size, design complexity, and quality of materials. If your house is average in all these respects, it will cost something like this to replace: 200 to 500 dollars per square foot. That puts the cost for a 2000 square foot house at anywhere from 400,000 to more than 1,000,000 dollars, not counting special features or expensive permits. For the unique and custom cases, the sky is the limit.
The ideal location for living in Malibu is a matter of personal preference, but some of the most desirable neighborhoods include: 1. **Malibu Colony**—Gated with a that provides a sense of privacy, this neighborhood also enjoys the benefit of being right on the beach. 2. **Point Dume**—This area offers a vibe that is much more laid-back than Malibu's other neighborhoods, and because it gives residents plenty of open space, it also feels much less cramped. 3. **Broad Beach**—The shoreline here is absolutely gorgeous, and if you can swing it, the sense of almost exclusivity that you get from being in this neighborhood really adds to your enjoyment of living here. In these neighborhoods, each for different reasons, if you enjoy living near the beach and want a private space to call your own, you're going to feel good about that choice.
Indeed, a house in Malibu is part of the Kardashian real estate portfolio.
In Malibu, several factors determine whether renting or owning a home is the cheaper option, and they can all change in an instant. They are market conditions, property prices, interest rates, and personal financial circumstances. Much of the time, it seems, owning a home requires a pretty steep cash outlay—upfront costs that can include a down payment, property taxes, maintenance, and insurance. Yet part of what seems to make buying a home "affordable" (other than the seeming magic of low interest rates) is that all those outlays build up to an eventual payoff in the form of home equity.
Certainly, Malibu has a homelessness issue, but its size, when compared to larger cities, is smaller. The local homeless population exists because of limited resources, high property values, and lots of local ordinances that make it hard to give support and services to people experiencing homelessness. That said, the local city hall and community-based organizations keep trying to come up with solutions, such as outreach programs and working more with nearby localities, to manage the situation.

We focus on kitchen and bathroom renovations that reflect our clients’ tastes and needs, blending timeless aesthetics with advanced functionality.
