Renovation & Civil Work
Give an existing home a new life — with planning that respects what is already there.
Overview
What we do
- A site survey before any estimate
- Work sequenced to minimise disruption
- Civil and interior work coordinated by one team
Renovating a lived-in home is different from furnishing a new one. Existing walls, plumbing and wiring have to be assessed, and work often has to be phased so the family can keep living there.
We start with a site survey, identify what needs to change and what can stay, and sequence civil, plumbing, electrical and interior work into a clear plan.
Design possibilities
Explore the options
Open a section to see pictures, material options, design considerations and related projects.
Kitchen & bathroom upgrades
New layouts, tiling, plumbing and fixtures alongside new modular units.
- Material options
- Vitrified or ceramic tiles, CP fittings, waterproofing compounds, new modular units.
- Design considerations
- Waterproof wet areas before tiling and test plumbing under pressure before closing walls.
Layout changes
Opening up kitchens, creating study corners or reworking storage — within what the structure allows.
- Material options
- Partition walls in block, gypsum or glass; structural advice where needed.
- Design considerations
- Never remove or cut load-bearing walls or columns; get the structure checked and association approval first.
Flooring & tiling
Replacing or overlaying floors and walls with tiles, laminate or engineered wood.
- Material options
- Vitrified tiles, laminate or engineered wood flooring, tile overlays.
- Design considerations
- Overlaying floors raises the level — check door clearances and transitions between rooms.
Painting & finishes
Wall preparation, painting, textures and wallpaper.
- Material options
- Putty, primer, emulsion paints, textures, wallpaper.
- Design considerations
- Treat damp patches at the source before painting, or the paint will fail again.
Electrical & plumbing
Rewiring, new points, plumbing changes and waterproofing.
- Material options
- New wiring, MCB distribution boards, CPVC/UPVC plumbing lines.
- Design considerations
- Older homes often need upgraded wiring for modern appliances — get the load checked.

Questions
Renovation & Civil Work — FAQs
Can we stay at home during the renovation?
Often, yes — work can be phased room by room. Kitchens and bathrooms need temporary arrangements while they are being worked on.
Do I need society approval?
Many apartment associations require notice or approval for civil work and working hours. We help you prepare the information they ask for.
