If your living in an apartment and thinking about a bathroom renovation in the eastern suburbs, chances are you are going to need to get approval from your strata manager to complete your renovation. Each strata scheme for a apartment building will have its own rules (or by-laws) for bathroom renovations. Best to consult your strata management company on what is required for your particular building. Generally getting approval is fairly straight forward once the required information i.e which company will be carrying out the work and a detailed outline of the renovation, are provided to the strata manager. Your bathroom builder can help you with providing the required information to your strata manager.
