Apartment renovation
in Fremantle, start to keys
A full apartment renovation in Fremantle handled by one crew and one contract: strip-out, wet areas, floors, electrics, paint and handover. Fixed price, dated schedule, photo reports every Friday.
One crew owns the whole job
Most Fremantle reno horror stories start the same way: five trades, four opinions, and an owner stuck refereeing them. We run it differently. One project manager, one crew, one schedule — and a contract that spells out every line before a single tile comes off.
Typical full reno on a 60–90 m² flat runs 12–16 weeks on site. Before that there's a measured survey, a fixed quote, and the strata pack if your building needs one. The price page has the guide rates, and the cost breakdown article shows where the money actually goes.
What's actually included
The same list goes into your contract, line for line. If it's not here, it gets quoted separately — not invoiced quietly later.
Full demolition to bare shell: kitchen, bathroom, floors, redundant walls. Dust walls and lift protection on from day one.
IncludedBathroom and laundry rebuilt to AS 3740 with two-coat membrane, flood test and certificate. See the bathroom scope for detail.
IncludedNew circuits where needed, labelled switchboard upgrade, lighting layout from the design pack. Certificate at handover.
IncludedLevelling, acoustic underlay, engineered boards or hybrid, plaster repairs and a proper paint system — not a slap-dash single coat.
IncludedJoinery, benchtops, splashback, appliance rough-ins and fit-off. Custom or quality flat-pack depending on tier — full detail on the kitchen page.
IncludedBuilder's clean, joint walkthrough, defect list closed, warranty pack with every certificate and paint code.

How the job runs
Same playbook as every Apex job — measured, scheduled, reported every Friday. The about page covers the company side.
Photos of every stage land on your phone each Friday, including the hidden work before walls close.
- Measure & fixed quote40 minutes on site, moisture readings, honest verdict on what your flat needs versus what can wait. Quote inside a week.
- Design & approvalsDrawing set, fixture schedule, strata pack lodged. Nothing gets ordered until approvals land.
- Strip & rough-inDemolition, then new plumbing and wiring — photographed before the walls close so there's a record forever.
- Fit-off & finishesTiling, joinery, floors, paint, fixtures. QA list closed as we go, not in a panic on the last day.
- HandoverWalkthrough together, defect list done, warranty pack and keys. Then the 5-year cover starts.
What we put in, and why
Brands we install weekly
Caesarstone and Essastone tops, Caroma and Phoenix tapware, Clipsal electrics, Beaumont and Ceramo tiles, Dulux systems, Havwoods and Preference engineered boards.
Why it matters
Trade accounts mean you pay less than retail on most items — and we warrant the install because we chose the product, not because a courier dropped it at the door.
Client-supplied is fine too
Brought your own tapware or tiles? We install it with the install warranty attached. Ask us to price the same item first — our rate often wins.
Asked before this job starts
Different scope, different worries — these are the ones clients put to us first.
