Apartment Renovation Gold Coast
Licensed apartment renovators for the Gold Coast and Northern NSW. We handle the body corporate application, the lift bookings and every trade, then build to a fixed written price with one project manager.
Gold Coast Apartment Renovators Who Manage the Building as Well as the Build
Build On Renovations is a licensed renovation builder working across the Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales. We hold a Queensland builder licence, a New South Wales builder licence and full insurance, and we manage every trade on your apartment ourselves.
An apartment is not a house with smaller rooms. Your walls, floors and pipes are shared with neighbours, the lift is booked by the hour and your body corporate has the final say on what gets built and when. A renovator who ignores that ends up with a stalled job and an unhappy building manager.
We plan around those rules from the first visit. We read your by-laws, prepare the application, book the lift, schedule noisy work inside the hours the building allows and keep common areas clean. You deal with one project manager, not a list of trades.
We renovate full apartments, kitchens, bathrooms, ensuites, laundries and open-plan layouts in high-rise towers, low-rise blocks and beachside complexes. Every job gets a written scope, a fixed price and one person you can call.
Our Apartment Renovation Services Across the Gold Coast
Full Apartment Renovations
We take the whole apartment back to the shell and rebuild it as one project. That means a new layout where the building allows it, new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, joinery and paint, all sequenced by one project manager. It suits owners staying long term and investors repositioning an older unit.
Apartment Kitchen Renovations
Apartment kitchens are often galley or single-wall layouts with little storage. We redesign them with full-height joinery, integrated appliances and more usable bench space, and we check lift sizes before ordering so stone and cabinetry arrive in one piece.
Apartment Bathroom Renovations
Bathrooms are the most technical room in an apartment. Waterproofing, plumbing, tiling and ventilation all have to meet the Australian Standards and your building's rules. We handle the whole job, including the waterproofing certificate and plumbing compliance paperwork.
Open-Plan & Layout Changes
Opening up a kitchen or reshaping a floor plan can transform a small apartment. Some walls are structural, and some hold shared services, so we check the plans and your by-laws before we price anything and tell you early what is possible.
Beachfront Apartment Renovations
Holiday units, beachfront apartments and beach house style fit-outs need materials that cope with salt air, sun and humidity. We specify PVD finishes, marine-grade fixings and moisture-resistant joinery where the location needs them, and we design light, easy-care interiors that suit coastal living.
Renovating in a Gold Coast Apartment Building Is Different
Body Corporate Approval
Work that touches common property, such as balconies, external walls or structure, usually needs more than a committee sign-off.Lifts, Access & Loading
We check lift dimensions against your cabinetry and stone before we order, book delivery windows and protect corridors and lifts for the whole job.Work Hours & Noise
We schedule demolition and cutting inside the permitted hours, give neighbours notice and plan the loudest tasks early.Flooring & Acoustics
Many by-laws require acoustic underlay or an acoustic report for hard flooring. We specify a system that meets your building’s requirements before we install anything.Waterproofing & Shared Services
We never cut or core into the structure without consent; we plan pipework around existing stack positions, and every wet area gets a full membrane and a waterproofing certificate.Salt Air, Humidity & Ventilation
Near the surf we recommend PVD-coated tapware and 316 grade stainless fixings, and moisture-resistant joinery in wet areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an apartment renovation take?
There are two phases. First is the body corporate approval, which can take several weeks depending on your building. Then comes the build, which depends on scope: a single kitchen or bathroom is much shorter than a full apartment. Work-hour limits can stretch an apartment programme compared with a house. You get a written schedule before you sign.
Do I need body corporate approval to renovate my apartment?
Almost always, for anything beyond cosmetic work. Work that affects common property, such as balconies, external walls, structure or shared plumbing, usually needs a formal resolution. Rules differ by scheme, so we read your by-laws first and prepare the application for you.
Do I need a licensed builder to renovate an apartment in Queensland?
Yes, for residential building work above the threshold set by the QBCC. Most bodies corporate also ask for proof of licence and insurance before they approve a job. We hold Queensland and New South Wales builder licences, and QBCC Home Warranty is paid before work starts where it applies.
Can I live in my apartment during the renovation?
For small jobs, sometimes. A kitchen or bathroom renovation takes those rooms out of use for a period, and the building work brings dust and noise. Most owners doing a full renovation move out. We talk through the realistic options at the consultation.
Can I change the layout or remove a wall?
Often yes, within your own apartment. Structural walls, shared plumbing stacks and the concrete slab limit what is possible, and an engineer may be needed. We check plans and by-laws before we price, so you know early.
