Our kitchen renovation process
Recognising the distinct complexities inherent in kitchen renovations, whether within an apartment or a house in Sydney, Awacon has established a meticulous protocol designed to mitigate potential delays, budgetary overruns, and compliance discrepancies.
This structured approach ensures a streamlined and efficient renovation process.
Awacon’s commitment to meticulous planning and execution ensures a renovation process characterized by clarity, efficiency, and the delivery of a kitchen that meets and exceeds expectations, whether in an apartment or a house.
Initial consult & site inspection
We commence by conducting a comprehensive consultation to ascertain your specific vision, budgetary parameters, and any pertinent building regulations. A thorough site evaluation is performed to assess existing layout possibilities, structural considerations, and any access challenges unique to either the apartment or house.
Written quotation & scope of work
Using all the information gathered from the consult and site inspection we build a detailed scope of work which determines the budget required for the project.
This is provided to you as a fixed price written quotation.
Design, planning & approvals
A detailed renovation plan is formulated, encompassing layout optimization, material selection, and finish specifications. For apartment renovations, we manage all necessary strata applications, council approvals, and building management permissions. For house renovations we manage all council approvals. This ensures adherence to all regulatory requirements.
Material procurement & scheduling
We provide expert guidance in selecting high-quality, durable materials suitable for the specific demands of the kitchen environment. A meticulous project schedule is established, encompassing timelines and logistical considerations, including waste management and, where applicable, lift coordination.
Construction execution & management
Our team of skilled tradespeople executes the renovation with precision, adhering to all relevant building codes and, in the case of apartments, strata regulations. A dedicated project manager provides consistent communication and real-time updates, ensuring project transparency and efficient execution.
Quality assurance checks & final handover
Upon completion of the construction phase, a rigorous quality inspection is conducted to ensure adherence to the highest standards. We guarantee that the completed kitchen meets all compliance requirements and is presented in a move-in-ready condition.

Common questions
Can a kitchen be renovated in an apartment?
Yes, a kitchen can be renovated in an apartment in NSW — but it comes with specific considerations and approval requirements that differ from a free-standing home. While it’s absolutely possible, you must navigate strata regulations, potential council requirements, and building code compliance to do it properly and legally.
1. Strata Approval Is Often Required
Most apartment buildings in NSW are governed by a strata scheme. If your renovation involves changes that affect common property (such as plumbing inside shared walls, ventilation, or flooring that impacts soundproofing), you’ll likely need written approval from the Owners Corporation. In many cases, this requires a Special Resolution passed at a General Meeting, especially for major works.
2. Council Approval
Typically, internal renovations such as kitchen upgrades do not require council approval. However, if your plans involve structural changes, external ventilation (like rangehood ducting through an exterior wall), or you’re in a heritage-listed building, then council involvement might be needed.
3. By-Laws and Renovation Rules
Each building has its own set of strata by-laws, which may outline specific rules around renovation works — including permitted working hours, noise restrictions, and access for trades. You’ll also need to submit a Scope of Works or a Renovation Application, sometimes prepared with help from a builder or designer.
4. Licensing and Compliance
All trades involved — such as electricians, plumbers, and builders — must be licensed and insured in NSW. Waterproofing and electrical work, in particular, are strictly regulated. Ensuring Building Code of Australia (BCA) compliance is also a must.
5. Logistics
Apartments present unique challenges like limited access, lift bookings, waste removal logistics, and noise management. Engaging a builder experienced in apartment renovations is crucial to manage this effectively without conflict with neighbours or strata.
What are the most common things people change when they do a kitchen renovation?
When people renovate a kitchen — whether in a house or apartment — they’re usually looking to improve both functionality and style. Most kitchen renovations are driven by outdated layouts, poor storage, wear and tear, or a desire for modern conveniences. Here are the most common elements people change, along with why they matter:
1. Cabinetry and Storage
Old cupboards are often replaced with custom cabinetry that maximises space and improves accessibility. Soft-close drawers, pull-out pantries, overhead cupboards, and smart corner storage solutions are very popular. This not only improves function but gives the kitchen a more tailored, high-end look.
2. Benchtops
Worn or outdated benchtops are usually swapped for durable, modern surfaces like engineered stone (e.g. Caesarstone), quartz, granite, or even solid timber. These materials are selected for their longevity, visual appeal, and resistance to heat, moisture and staining.
3. Appliances
Old ovens, cooktops, and dishwashers are commonly replaced with sleeker, energy-efficient appliances. Many homeowners upgrade to integrated appliances (concealed behind cabinetry) for a streamlined look. Induction cooktops, smart ovens, and under-bench fridges are also growing in popularity.
4. Splashbacks
People often update tired or dated splashbacks with glass, tile, or stone finishes that are easier to clean and more visually striking. Feature splashbacks are often used to add personality to the space.
5. Lighting
Good lighting is essential in a kitchen. Renovators usually upgrade to layered lighting: a mix of task lighting (under-cabinet or pendant lights), ambient lighting (recessed ceiling lights), and accent lighting to highlight features or add mood.
6. Flooring
Outdated vinyl or tile flooring is frequently replaced with modern floor tiles, timber, hybrid flooring, or polished concrete. The goal is durability, easy cleaning, and a seamless look that matches adjoining spaces.
7. Layout and Flow
Many older kitchens are closed off or poorly laid out. Renovators often reconfigure the layout — knocking down walls to create open-plan spaces or repositioning appliances to improve flow and work zones.
8. Plumbing Fixtures
Upgrading sinks, tapware, and plumbing fittings is common. Double sinks, pull-out mixer taps, and matte black or brushed gold finishes are currently on-trend.
9. Power and Electrical
Homeowners often install additional power points, USB outlets, and even smart kitchen technology. This improves functionality and meets the demands of modern appliances.
10. Ventilation
Old rangehoods or recirculating fans are often replaced with ducted rangehoods to improve air quality and remove cooking odours effectively — particularly important in apartment settings.
