The process of apartment renovation is very different from the process of the house renovation. Each apartment renovation will come with its own limitation, possibilities and strategies, all of which you should consider before beginning a project.

The first thing to understand before planning an apartment renovation is the relevant policies of your condo board. Your board may or may not have policies that affect cosmetic decisions or material selections, but most likely it will have policies about what days and times renovations can take place, when materials may be brought into the building, which elevator can be used and so on. Your board may require a permit or approval to begin any form of work. They may have you to hire approved and certified contractor to work with, as many potential renovation changes could affect the safety of the entire apartment unit.

Your condo association should have a contractor renovation guide. A smaller condo may have fewer restrictions. A larger condominium community may have policies and procedures that are more detailed and less flexible. Consult this to find out requirements around things like changes to electrical, sprinkler systems and other infrastructure.
