    About Ossher Design and Build

    Apartment renovation builders in Rose Bay.

    Renovating an apartment in Rose Bay is a different discipline to renovating a house. You are working inside someone else's building: strata by-laws, common property, lift bookings, waste removal and work-hour limits all sit on top of the normal renovation program.

    Ossher Design and Build delivers full apartment renovations across Rose Bay, from bathrooms and kitchens through to whole-apartment reconfigurations in harbourfront homes, interwar residences and premium apartment stock.

    We handle the approval process with your owners corporation or strata manager before a tool is lifted, including by-law review, dilapidation reporting and protection of lifts, foyers and common areas.

    The result is a renovation that runs to a program your building can live with, and a finished apartment detailed to the same standard as our houses.

    Local Knowledge

    What an apartment renovation in Rose Bay actually involves.

    The building sets the rules. These are the three things that decide whether an apartment renovation runs smoothly or stalls for months.

    Strata & By-Laws

    Every building has its own by-laws covering work hours, noise, waste and waterproofing. We review them, prepare the approval submission and coordinate with the strata manager before works start.

    Access & Logistics

    Lift protection and bookings, loading zones, and waste removal down shared corridors are scheduled and agreed upfront. Materials come in, debris goes out, and common areas are protected daily.

    Waterproofing & Neighbours

    Wet-area work in an apartment sits above someone else's ceiling. Membranes are applied to AS 3740 by licensed applicators and documented, and dilapidation records protect you against unrelated claims.

    Tight sites & access

    Apartment sites are the tightest we work on. Sloping blocks, marine exposure on the waterfront and narrow side setbacks. We plan deliveries, lift use and noisy works around the building's rules, and we keep neighbours informed so the project keeps its goodwill.

    FAQs

    Frequently asked questions.

    Almost always, yes. Cosmetic work like painting usually doesn't need approval, but anything touching waterproofing, flooring, structure or services is classed as minor or major renovation under the NSW strata scheme rules and requires owners corporation approval. We prepare that submission as part of the project.

    A quality full apartment renovation in Rose Bay typically runs from $2,500 to $4,000 per square metre depending on finish, access and how much wet-area and joinery work is involved. Building constraints, lift-only access and restricted hours do add cost compared to a house.

    A bathroom alone runs six to eight weeks. A full two-bedroom apartment renovation usually takes three to five months on site, plus four to eight weeks upfront for strata approval, selections and joinery lead times.

    Often yes, subject to strata approval and engineering advice. Wet areas can usually be reconfigured within the existing slab penetration zone; moving plumbing across the slab is harder and needs careful assessment. We tell you early what's realistic.

    We do. We lodge the approvals, book the lifts, notify neighbours, protect common areas and handle any building queries during the works, so you don't spend months as the go-between.

    Yes. We hold a current NSW contractor licence and carry full public liability and home warranty insurance on every project.

    Founder Adam Ossher runs every project personally, from feasibility through to handover. You deal with the person accountable for the build, not a rotating site manager.
