APARTMENT RENOVATION

Heritage and conservation areas

 Undertaking an apartment renovation in one of Sydney's beautiful heritage and conservation area demands a rigorous plan to ensure your proposal's success. 

Strata apartment buildings

 Renovating an apartment in a strata-titled building in Sydney requires navigating the intricacies of collective ownership, involving collaboration with the strata committee and adherence to established by-laws.

Where do I start? Our signature 5-step process.

Design

The first step in the process is to answer the question: what are we going to build? 

Exempt development

If you are working to a tight budget, it is incredibly important to understand what is and isn’t exempt development.  

Strata Approval

Understanding your strata by-laws and regulations and how to apply to renovate. 

DA or CDC approval?

What’s the difference between a DA & CDC? Which do I need? What about the Class 2 Design and Building Practitioners Act? Do I need a registered design practitioner? 

Commencement

The final hurdle before building, notifying neighbours and delivering the documents to begin construction.

Does my renovation need a Class 2 Design Practitioner

Well, that depends

Apartment renovations that require a registered class 2 design practitioner typically include:

  • Structural changes (e.g., altering load-bearing walls)
  • Fire safety system modifications (e.g., sprinklers, fire-rated walls)
  • Waterproofing in bathrooms, kitchens, or laundries
  • Façade changes (e.g., windows, balconies, cladding)
  • Building services modifications (e.g., electrical, plumbing)
  • Major interior reconfigurations impacting safety or compliance

We can help

TightKnit’s expertise in strata renovations ensures homeowners understand if their project requires a Class 2 Design Practitioner in Architectural or Building Design. 


We guide you through compliance and approval processes with clarity, drawing on our deep knowledge of NSW regulations and strata apartment renovation projects.
