Apartment Renovation for New and Existing Homes
Apartment renovation requires both sound technical work and a plan that respects building management rules and shared areas. We coordinate both under one programme.
- Building Management Rules Reviewed Before Work
- Lift & Corridor Surface Protection
- Acoustic Soundproofing Solutions
- Contractual Workmanship Warranty
What separates apartment renovation from detached-house work is social discipline, not technique: working hours that match the building's rules, protected lifts and stairwells, daily debris removal and neighbours informed in advance. EMC Decor applies this protocol as standard — when the renovation ends, your relationship with the building is as good as when it started.
On the technical side, the critical points of apartment work are wet-area waterproofing, aligning new plumbing with the building's risers, and levelling floor heights against doors and thresholds. All three are measured at the survey, written into the process plan and verified on site with a laser level.
Why EMC Decor
Clean Building Protocol: Lifts and hallways covered, rubbish hauled daily.
Acoustic Comfort: A system selected for the wall build-up and intended use.
Coordinated Trades: electrical, tiling, painting and drywall work follow one programme.
Legal Security: Contractual workmanship guarantee & manufacturer material warranties.

Get a Project EstimateFrequently Asked Questions
How long does an apartment renovation take?
Duration depends on the apartment's condition, approved scope, building working hours, material lead times and required drying periods. A target programme is issued after survey.
How do you avoid building manager fines during work?
We operate noisy machinery exclusively within approved HOA working hours. Lifts and hallways are board-protected and debris is cleared daily.
Is it mandatory to replace old wiring and plumbing in resale flats?
Building age alone does not determine replacement. Cable and pipe materials, connections, load capacity, corrosion and signs of leakage are inspected before deciding the scope.
