Apartment Renovation Company

Apartment living has many perks but one drawback can be the size. By nature, apartments offer a more compact lifestyle, typically offset by being in a desirable, often urban location. And while many look at small spaces as challenging, apartment interior design is an opportunity to get creative.  

A well-designed flat that has been thoughtfully tailored to your everyday needs and lifestyle can mean the difference between feeling cramped and overwhelmed or finding yourself balanced and relaxed in a space you truly love. In addition to creating a bespoke home, implementing modern amenities through a professional apartment renovation is a great way to add value to your property. And considering the prime location of many apartments, that’s a sound investment towards the future. 

Whether you like the sleek aesthetic of a minimalist design or the charm of classic embellishments, Refresh can bring your vision to life and help transform your flat into a space you look forward to coming home to. 

How does Refresh help?

There’s a lot that goes into planning an apartment remodelling project. And if you’re not familiar with the process, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Luckily, at Refresh, we’ve completed thousands of successful renovations using our proven 5-step method which was derived through years of experience. We identified the common reasons why renovations go off the rails and created our process to mitigate these issues with streamlined channels of communication and thorough planning.  

“Effective communication and project management every step of the way. The entire team took great pride in the way they worked on site and their passion was clearly evident. We are so proud of the outcome that created a more functional living environment. We highly recommend the Refresh team.” - Troy Restieaux, Refresh client

A smoother renovation process

Our proven 5-step process enables our Renovation Consultants to deliver fantastic old house renovations, on time and within budget.

Step 1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

Discuss goals, budget, and timeline for your apartment renovation during the initial consultation with your Renovation Consultant. Establishing these elements early in the process will help ensure that your project is delivered on time and within budget.

Step 2

Concept and Feasibility

After the project scope has been defined, your Renovation Consultant will arrange for concept designs to be drawn up. The main goal is to determine the feasibility of your project but these 3D designs make it easy for you to see your ideas come to life and present the perfect opportunity for you to make any changes.

Step 3

Working Drawings and Costing

Moving on to the final step of the planning stages, working drawings will be developed which focus on technical aspects such as architecture and structural considerations. Once building begins, making changes can incur extra expenses and delays, so this is the ideal time to make alterations. The detailed budget for renovating your old house will be provided during this stage as well.

Step 4

Build / Construction Stage

This is when all the thorough planning comes to fruition and you can see your ideas take shape. Your Renovation Consultant will continue to provide full support during this phase by coordinating home renovation contractors and sourcing premium materials. Any issues will be dealt with quickly to keep the project on track and ensure you experience minimal disruptions.

Step 5

Your Finished Renovation

The last step before handing over your fully renovated home is to ensure all post-renovation documentation is in order. Your Renovation Consultant will prepare all of the appropriate documents that prove your renovation has been completed up to code. Once that is settled, your renovation is done!
