2. Certified Renovation Contractor

A successful project hinges on effective leadership and clear communication. Hiring an unlicensed or under-insured contractor is not only risky but also illegal. It could lead to fines and project delays.

At Mr.WANG Reno, we are fully licensed and insured, with comprehensive liability coverage and product warranties. We collaborate with a network of licensed plumbers, electricians, and contractors for all our projects.

3. Engaging with the Owners Corporation

Collaboration with the Owners Corporation is essential when undertaking renovations in an apartment or unit. Typically represented by a committee or executive board, they oversee the building where your residence is situated and act on behalf of all owners, including yourself. Their role includes approving renovation projects, so it's crucial to follow their procedures for project acceptance.

Each strata scheme has its own specific regulations, governed by laws that require you to submit proposals for approval. Permission is typically necessary for renovations involving bathrooms, laundries, or alterations to walls and floors. While this process may seem daunting, our collaborative approach includes preparing a comprehensive plan statement, simplifying the approval process for your renovation.

4. Understanding Strata By-laws

Understanding strata by-laws is crucial for your renovation plan. Any significant alterations to common property within your house or building require approval through a by-law. Common property typically includes the four main walls of an apartment, along with ceilings, roofs, floors, exterior walls, and shared areas like corridors, driveways, and communal facilities such as laundry rooms or pools.

By-laws are typically necessary for structural changes that affect common property. To initiate a by-law for your renovation, the Owners Corporation must pass a resolution during a General Meeting, attended by all owners. Approval by a majority of owners is required for the by-law to proceed.

5. Permit Requirements for All Projects

The type of work—whether cosmetic, minor, or significant—determines the necessary permit. Each strata plan has its own regulations governing renovations. Our team advises early consultation with your strata committee during the planning phase to facilitate a smooth collaboration between you and our professionals.

6. Considerations When Renovating an Apartment

Apartment buildings are typically high-density environments, so it's important to consider the community when starting renovations. Beginning work without proper approvals or notifications can lead to dissatisfaction among neighbors who are unaware of the situation. Effective communication is essential to minimize disruptions and ensure community understanding during the renovation process.

7. Notifying Neighbors

We initiate the process by sending a courteous letter to all neighboring residents, informing them of the scheduled date, time, duration, and authorized hours of the renovation work.
