    Melbourne is predominantly apartments and units — body corporate approval is often needed before external work can start. Check with your owners corporation early in the process.

  • Body Corp Sign-Off May Be Needed

    Melbourne is predominantly apartments and units. Body corporate approval is typically required before cabinet maker work affecting common property, shared wiring, or building systems. Check with your owners corporation early — approval can add weeks.
