UNIT RENOVATIONS REQUIRE A DIFFERENT KIND OF EXPERTISE

Renovating an apartment or unit in Sydney is not the same as renovating a house and the builders who treat it as if it is consistently deliver disappointing results.

The strata environment introduces a layer of governance, compliance and coordination that is entirely absent from a standard residential renovation. Strata by-laws must be reviewed and interpreted. Strata committee approval must be obtained before certain works can commence. Building management must be engaged. Shared services; electrical risers, plumbing stacks, waterproofing membranes on common walls and floors must be understood and respected.

Get any of these elements wrong and the consequences are significant works ordered to stop, disputes with the owners corporation, costs that spiral and a renovation that takes far longer than it should.

Acron Projects has the expertise to get it right the first time.

STRATA COMPLIANCE
We Manage It So You Do Not Have To

Strata compliance is where most apartment renovations run into trouble and where Acron Projects consistently separates itself from builders who do not have the experience to navigate it.

Before any works commence, Acron Projects undertakes a thorough review of your building’s strata by-laws, identifies which works require strata committee approval and prepares the documentation; plans, specifications, material samples and insurance certificates required to obtain it efficiently.

We engage with the owners corporation, building manager and strata committee professionally and proactively managing the approval process without placing that burden on you and without creating the adversarial dynamic that less experienced operators often provoke.

The result is a renovation that starts on time, proceeds without strata-related interruption and completes without the compliance issues that so often define the apartment renovation experience.

Strata Approval — What Sydney Unit Owners Need to Know

Unlike house renovations, unit renovations in Sydney require approval from your strata scheme before any work begins. This is a legal requirement under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW).

At Acron Projects, we manage the full strata approval process on your behalf, including:

• Preparing your renovation application and supporting documentation
• Liaising with your strata manager and owners corporation
• Ensuring all works comply with your building’s by-laws
• Coordinating with your building’s nominated certifier where required

Works that typically require strata approval in Sydney include:

• Any changes to wet areas (bathroom, kitchen, laundry)
• Removal or alteration of internal walls
• Changes to flooring (particularly hard surface floors above other units)
• Any works affecting common property
• Electrical or plumbing modifications

All unit renovations in Sydney involving wet areas or walls require strata approval under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need strata approval to renovate my apartment?

It depends on the nature of the works. Cosmetic changes; painting, carpet replacement and minor fixture upgrades typically do not require strata approval. Any works that affect structural elements, waterproofing, common property or building services will require approval from the strata committee before they can commence. Acron Projects reviews your by-laws and identifies all approval requirements at the outset of every project. Unit renovations in Sydney typically cost between $30,000 and $250,000 depending on scope.

How much does a unit renovation cost in Sydney?

Unit renovation costs in Sydney vary depending on scope, specification and the complexity of the strata compliance process. A full apartment overhaul with Acron Projects typically ranges from $80,000 to $250,000. Individual room renovations start from $25,000 for a bathroom and $35,000 for a kitchen. We provide detailed fixed-price proposals at the design development stage. Most unit renovations in Sydney take 8 to 16 weeks from construction start.

How long does a unit renovation take?

A full apartment overhaul typically takes 8–16 weeks from construction commencement to handover, depending on scope and complexity. Individual room renovations take 3–8 weeks. The strata approval process should be factored into the overall project timeline — typically 4–8 weeks prior to construction commencement.

Can you renovate a unit while tenants are in residence?

In most cases, we do not recommend undertaking significant renovation works in an occupied apartment. For investment properties, we work with owners to plan the renovation during vacancy periods and complete works as efficiently as possible to minimise rental income disruption.

What areas of Sydney does Acron Projects renovate units in?

We renovate apartments and units across Sydney and surrounding regions, including the North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Inner West, CBD surrounds, Hills District and Parramatta region.
