Full internal apartment renovations
New kitchens and bathrooms
Integrated European-style laundries in tight spaces
Converting older, boxed-in layouts to more open living
Custom storage and built-in cabinetry
New flooring, lighting, and full repaint so the whole space looks and feels consistent
Balcony and small outdoor upgrades so those areas actually get used, not ignored
We can work to clean, modern lines or something warmer and more classic that suits the building. The point is that it should feel intentional, not random.
Yes. In most cases, you’ll need written approval from the owners corporation or building management before we touch plumbing, electrics, internal walls, or flooring. This is standard in apartment work. The reason is simple: your renovation can affect noise, water shutoffs, waste removal, and access in shared areas. We help prepare the scope and supporting documents so management understands exactly what’s happening, when it’s happening, and how we’ll control disruption. That means less pushback, fewer delays, and no surprise stop-work notices once demolition starts.
Yes. Smaller apartments are normal in Fitzroy, especially in older blocks and warehouse-style conversions. The answer is not “add more cupboards.” The answer is circulation, sightlines, and purpose. We remove wasted nib walls and dead corners, streamline the kitchen footprint, integrate storage properly, and clean up visual clutter so the place feels open instead of boxed in. Done right, the apartment feels easier to live in — you can move, store things properly, and breathe — even though the square metres haven’t changed.
We’re realistic: renovation is not silent. There will be noise during demolition, drilling, and services work. The difference is how it’s managed. We coordinate with the building to schedule high-impact work inside approved noise windows. We protect shared areas like lifts and hallways. We manage deliveries, waste removal, and access so it doesn’t look like chaos in the common areas. That keeps your relationship with the building civil, which matters when you’re still going to live there after it’s all done.
It depends on scope. A targeted wet area upgrade (bathroom + laundry) runs faster than a full internal renovation that includes kitchen, flooring, lighting, carpentry, and layout changes. What matters is that we cost it properly, schedule it properly, and then build to that plan instead of shifting timelines once you’re locked in. You’ll know what’s happening and when — not just “sometime next week.”
