Qualified and Compliant Built for Eastern Suburbs
Carrying out construction and renovation projects in the Eastern Suburbs requires more than great design. It involves managing strict strata by-laws, heritage requirements, and NSW regulations. At Monument Projects, we maintain the highest standards of professionalism and compliance, supported by a thorough understanding of the local regulatory framework.
Class 2 Accredited under the NSW Design & Building Practitioners Act
Class 2 buildings cover multi-unit apartments and strata properties, which are common throughout the Eastern Suburbs.

Monument Projects is fully authorised, ensuring every project meets required qualifications, design compliance declarations, and building code standards.
Experienced in Strata, DA, CDC and Council Processes
In the Eastern Suburbs, many renovation projects require DA or CDC approvals for internal works, particularly when strata by-laws, waterproofing, or fire safety standards are affected. At Monument Projects, we handle the entire process by preparing documentation, coordinating with Owners Corporations, and lodging compliant designs through the NSW Planning Portal. Whether the project involves a
Class 2 apartment
or a heritage home, our detailed approach ensures compliance with all statutory requirements from start to finish.
House Renovations in Eastern Suburbs: Managing Heritage, Space & Compliance
Renovating a home in the Eastern Suburbs presents its own set of challenges, from strict heritage conservation rules to the limitations of narrow blocks, ageing buildings, and restricted urban access. Many properties in the region fall within heritage conservation zones, meaning even minor external changes such as roofing, cladding, or window replacements may require council approval or formal exemptions. Homeowners also face issues like poor natural light, inefficient layouts, outdated services, and rising energy demands in homes that were not built for modern living.
Successful home renovations achieve a balance between preserving character and introducing functionality. This can involve reconfiguring layouts for open-plan spaces, adding skylights or courtyards for better light and ventilation, and upgrading materials to align with building codes and energy efficiency requirements. At Monument Projects, we deliver design-focused renovations that respect the architectural heritage of the Eastern Suburbs while enhancing day-to-day comfort. From managing heritage approvals and structural upgrades to energy improvements and sustainable finishes, we create homes that are practical, enduring, and ready for the future.
Apartment Renovations in Eastern Suburbs: Strata-Compliant, Space-Smart and Built to Last
Renovating an apartment in the Eastern Suburbs requires more than design expertise. With a high proportion of homes falling under Class 2 building classification, projects must comply with the NSW Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020, which requires registered practitioners for any structural or waterproofing works. On top of that, strata by-laws, shared access points, noise restrictions, and building management approvals make the process highly regulated and complex.
Typical challenges include outdated floor plans, poor ventilation, limited natural light, and compact layouts that no longer suit modern lifestyles. Well-planned apartment renovations in the Eastern Suburbs often involve reworking spaces for better usability, such as opening up kitchens and living areas, incorporating smart storage, improving soundproofing and insulation, and upgrading finishes for a contemporary look. At Monument Projects, we combine compliance expertise with thoughtful design, ensuring every renovation is functional, stylish, strata-approved, and completed with minimal disruption to neighbours and building residents.
Commercial Fitouts in Eastern Suburbs: Designed for Efficiency and Built for Compliance
The Eastern Suburbs are home to a diverse mix of commercial spaces, including boutique offices, hospitality venues, retail stores, and creative studios. Delivering a successful fitout in this area involves addressing a range of challenges such as limited site access, heritage-listed properties, council regulations, fire safety requirements, and strict acoustic standards. Whether the goal is to open a new café, upgrade an office, or convert a warehouse into a client-facing studio, a compliant and carefully managed fitout is essential.
Key considerations often include DA or CDC approvals, Building Code of Australia (BCA) compliance, Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) access requirements, and coordination with base building management. In heritage or mixed-use areas of the Eastern Suburbs, projects may also require designs that respect existing architectural character while enhancing usability. At Monument Projects, we combine spatial planning, building services coordination, such as HVAC, fire, lighting, and data, along with documentation that meets council and certifier requirements. With strong project management and minimal impact on neighbouring tenants, we deliver fitouts that are efficient, compliant, and built to perform over the long term.

Site Consultation and Feasibility Review
Each project starts with a personalised consultation. We inspect the site, review any structural or design challenges, and outline planning or regulatory requirements. For renovation work, we assess current conditions and strata restrictions, while for new builds we consider land characteristics, orientation, and council controls to confirm the feasibility of your vision from the outset.
Design, Planning and Engineering Coordination
We collaborate with your chosen architect or connect you with our trusted partners to create plans that balance design vision with technical requirements. Our process involves coordination with structural engineers, certifiers, and specialist consultants to ensure smooth compliance with the Building Code of Australia, Class 2 standards, and local council regulations, including heritage overlays where applicable.
Guaranteed Price and Completion Timeline
With our Fixed Price Guarantee, you can be confident there will be no unexpected budget increases. Every proposal clearly lists all inclusions and allowances from the start. In addition, our $500 per day Delay Guarantee means that if we do not meet the agreed completion date, we compensate you.
Approvals & Compliance Management
We manage all DA and CDC applications, strata approvals where required, and coordination with certifiers. Whether it is a new build or an apartment renovation, we ensure documentation is accurate, compliant, and ready for council submission, preventing delays caused by errors or missing information.
Projects Managed with Expert Oversight
From groundworks through to final finishes, each project is overseen by a dedicated site supervisor who manages safety, quality, and communication. We handle coordination of trades, scheduling of deliveries, and logistics, including access requirements for strata properties and confined urban locations.
Inspection, Cleaning and Handover
Prior to handover, we carry out a thorough quality inspection, address any defects, and perform a professional clean. All compliance certificates, warranties, and supporting documents are provided, ensuring the property is ready for occupancy, rental, or future sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What distinguishes a unit renovation from a complete apartment renovation?
A unit renovation usually focuses on cosmetic or interior improvements within a single apartment, including updates to flooring, lighting, or the kitchen. A full apartment renovation, or major renovation, can involve relocating internal walls, upgrading plumbing, and renewing finishes across the entire space. In both scenarios, Monument Projects ensures full adherence to NSW regulations, strata by-laws, and considerations affecting common areas or the building structure.
2. What should apartment owners know before beginning a renovation?
Apartment owners need to establish whether their planned renovation impacts common property, including shared plumbing, walls, or waterproofing. If it does, formal strata approval is necessary, which may involve an extraordinary or annual general meeting of the owners corporation. Our team manages this process, ensuring all documentation, neighbour notifications, and building-specific renovation requirements are properly handled.owners'
3. Am I allowed to remove internal walls during my renovation?
It depends. Certain internal walls, particularly in older full-brick apartments common in the Eastern Suburbs and Sydney’s inner areas, may be load-bearing. Removing or modifying these walls often requires structural engineering input and council approval. We carry out a comprehensive site assessment and feasibility review before any structural work to prevent delays, risks, or non-compliance.
4. How much do apartment renovations cost in Sydney?
Renovation expenses depend on the size and condition of your property. Simple kitchen or bathroom updates typically start around \$20,000 to \$40,000, while a full unit renovation with premium finishes can surpass \$120,000. We provide fixed-price quotes covering materials, labour, strata approvals, and compliance paperwork, ensuring transparency with no hidden costs. Contact us for cost examples from recent projects in your neighbourhood.
5. Is strata or council approval required for my renovation?
If your renovation impacts structural components, waterproofing, or shared property such as floors, balconies, or plumbing, formal strata approval is required, and council approval via a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) may also be necessary. As a Class 2 Certified Builder, we handle all strata and council procedures, ensuring your project is fully approved, documented, and compliant.
6. How can I transform my older apartment into my ideal home?
Through thoughtful space planning and strategic upgrades, even small inner-city apartments can become your dream home. Our team focuses on customising layouts, lighting, and finishes to match your lifestyle, while taking heritage features and building limitations into account. We revitalise older units, combining design vision with compliance and budget considerations.
7. Why is it important to hire a Class 2 Certified Builder for apartment renovations?
Under NSW’s Design and Building Practitioners Act, any structural or waterproofing work in Class 2 buildings, such as multi-unit apartments, must be performed by registered professionals. Hiring a Class 2 Certified Builder guarantees your renovation is compliant, insured, and meets high-quality standards. We also coordinate with your owners corporation to keep them informed, preventing potential disputes.
