The 3 Pillars of a Successful Melbourne Renovation
Because these are the clients we serve, our entire process is built to solve their biggest challenges. A successful interior overhaul and apartment renovation comes down to expertly managing three key areas. This is our focus as a leading building contractor and construction company.
Melbourne Strata Approvals, Simplified.
A poorly prepared strata application with your Melbourne body corporate can be rejected, causing months of frustrating project delays for apartment renovations.
We submit a complete package of all required documentation to ensure a fast, successful approval for your inner city apartment remodel.
High-Density Apartment Design, Perfected.
Generic design choices don't work in apartments, leading to wasted space and noise issues. A proper house design is crucial.
Our interior design team focuses on smart storage solutions, natural light optimisation, and acoustic performance design for every apartment renovation.
Your Renovation Budget, Guaranteed.
Vague quotes from other home improvement contractors can lead to the final price for renovations being thousands higher, causing budget surprises.
We provide a fixed price HIA building contract. The price you sign is the final price for the agreed scope of your property refresh and kitchen renovations.

I honestly can’t recommend Wafa and his team enough! They were professional, honest, and kept us in the loop the entire time. Plus they delivered exactly what they promised with no shortcuts. They were also super accommodating when we wanted to make a few changes along the way. Their attitude was so positive throughout, and they reconstructed our porch to be even better than it was before. If you want a building company that’s efficient, honest, and reliable, seriously—don’t look elsewhere.Posted on Google LESLIE EARNSHAWTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Marbo Co completely paint the inside of our house. Waffa gave a quick response, the quote was fair, and he was patient when we had to delay the start. Sean did a fantastic job, we were very happy with results and the communication, and both Sean and Waffa returned after we moved back in to make sure we were happy with the job and to do a couple of incidentals that were really helpful. Could not recommend them more highlyPosted on Google Peter AtanasovskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used Wafa and his crew for three separate jobs now from a bathroom renovation through to full house renovations, and I've had a great experience every time. He always answers the phone, is super responsive, and communicates clearly throughout the process. He shows up when he says he will, gets the job done properly, and genuinely wants to make sure you’re happy with the result. It’s rare to find someone you can trust to both start and finish a job to a high standard, but that’s exactly what you get with Wafa. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Yasir A. HasanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wafa and his team at Mardo Co. were good to work with—professional, reliable, and genuinely attentive to their clients. I’m happy with the renovation results and would recommend them. 🌹Posted on Google AryanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Mardo Building. The construction of our home was done on time with very professionals and with excellent attention to detail. Wafa, the contractor, was reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the project. The work was completed on time and the quality exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Mardo Building to anyone looking for a dependable builder. It was really good to work with Wafa. The team was professional, reliable, and delivered excellent quality work. Very happy with the result. Thank you for making our dream come true with excellence.

Apartment Renovation FAQs
Here are clear, straightforward answers to the most common questions we receive about our quality building services and renovations.
How long does a typical apartment renovation take?
A full 2-bedroom apartment renovation typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from construction start to handover. We confirm the exact timeline for your project in your fixed price quote, ensuring on-time delivery for all renovations.
Who is my main point of contact during the renovation?
You get a dedicated Project Manager who is an experienced builder, not a salesperson. They are your single point of contact for weekly updates on your residential construction project and apartment renovation.
How long does strata approval take for a renovation?
Typically 2 to 6 weeks. Because we provide Melbourne Body Corporates with the correct, comprehensive documentation upfront, we make this process as efficient as possible for your apartment renovation.
Can I visit the site to see the renovation progress?
Yes. We arrange scheduled site visits with your Project Manager to ensure your safety on an active WorkSafe-governed site during the apartment renovation.
What is not included in the fixed-price contract for renovations?
Your contract covers all labour, materials, and project management for the renovation. The main items not included are your personally chosen appliances and specific ‘Prime Cost Items’ like tiles or tapware for your kitchen, for which we provide a budget allowance.
What happens if I want to change something mid-project?
We use a simple ‘variation’ process. We provide a clear quote for the requested change to the apartment renovation, and you approve it in writing before we proceed. This ensures there are no financial surprises with our services.
Are there any hidden costs in your apartment renovations?
No. Our detailed quoting process is designed for budget surprise avoidance in every renovation. The only time the price changes is if you request a variation. This applies to bathroom renovations too.
Do you use your own team or subcontractors for apartment renovations?
We use a core team and a trusted group of licensed master tradespeople who have worked with us for years. We manage all subcontractors directly to ensure high standards on every apartment renovation project.
Do I have to move out during the apartment renovation?
For a full renovation, yes. The move-out requirements are essential for safety and allow us to complete the project significantly faster. This is standard for apartment renovations.
How do you minimise disruption to neighbours during renovations?
We practice neighbour disruption minimisation by introducing ourselves and providing our Project Manager’s contact details. We strictly adhere to work hours and ensure common areas are cleaned daily during the renovation. Even for a small kitchen or bathroom renovation.
