Wafaa and the team are great, highly recommended.Posted on Google Stathis PaleologosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

Every Mardo quote is a fixed price in writing, signed by both of us before work starts. The number on your quote is the number you pay — no extras, no scope creep, no surprise invoices at the end. Quotes are free and obligation-free.
Get My Free QuoteIt all starts with a friendly chat at your apartment. This lets our team fully understand your goals and see the building's unique aspects. From there, we manage the entire process for you.
We create a detailed plan with 3D models and handle all strata approvals. Our team manages the day-to-day construction, and finally, we have the exciting handover of your beautiful new apartment.
We manage this entire complex process, which is often the biggest headache in apartment renovations. This means we handle submitting all required plans, engineering details, and acoustic reports to the owners' corporation.
We manage everything from protecting common property to booking lifts and following the building's work hours. This ensures we comply with all rules and keep a good relationship with your building management.
Each apartment renovation timeline is unique. It depends on the scope of work and things like the strata approval process, which can take several weeks depending on committee meeting times.
After our first meeting, we give you a realistic project schedule that includes these variables. This detailed planning provides you with a clear completion date from the very beginning.
For most full apartment renovations, it's not practical or safe to stay. The work often involves a lot of dust and noise that make the space uninhabitable during the main construction phase.
We work closely with you to create a clear schedule to limit this disruption. We'll make sure you know exactly when you need to be out and when you can move back into your beautifully finished apartment.
This is where a true specialist proves their worth. For example, finding a shared plumbing stack that wasn't on the original building plans is a common apartment issue.
When this happens, we don't just bring you a problem. We talk to building management, work with our expert plumbers on a solution that follows strata rules, and give you clear, costed options. We manage the entire fix professionally.
The cost of an apartment renovation varies greatly depending on the size of your space, the scope of works, and the level of finishes you choose. A full renovation will naturally cost more than just a single bathroom.
The best way to get an accurate figure is through our free on-site consultation. We'll assess your apartment and discuss your vision, then provide a detailed, fixed-price quote with a full breakdown so you can see exactly where your investment is going.
Our quote is a guaranteed fixed price. This is a core part of our promise to you. The price we agree on in your contract is the final price for the agreed scope of works.
We invest heavily in detailed planning and a comprehensive quoting process specifically to eliminate the risk of surprise variations and budget blowouts. We believe you should be able to undertake a renovation with complete financial certainty.
Our quotes are comprehensive and transparent. They include everything required to complete your project from start to finish. This covers all labour, materials, project management, site setup, rubbish removal, and professional cleaning.
We provide a detailed breakdown of all the costs, so you won't find any vague "provisional sums" or hidden fees. What you see is what you get, ensuring total clarity.
Payments are made in progress-based instalments as set out in your building contract. This is a standard and secure process for both parties.
You'll typically pay an initial deposit, followed by payments at the completion of major stages, such as the completion of demolition, framing, or lock-up. The final payment is only made once the project is complete and you are happy with the result.
Yes, you can. We understand that ideas can evolve. If you wish to make a change to the agreed-upon plan during the build, we have a clear and simple process for that.
We will discuss the change with you, provide a transparent variation document that outlines any impact on the cost and timeline, and we'll only proceed with the change once you've approved it in writing. This ensures there are no misunderstandings.
You'll make the enjoyable decisions, but we'll guide you every step of the way. We can provide recommendations on suppliers and even accompany you to showrooms to help you select the perfect finishes for your style and budget.
Our role is to take the stress out of the selection process by providing expert advice, managing the ordering, and ensuring everything arrives on time.
We handle everything. A clean and organised site is a safe and efficient site. We manage the removal of all construction debris throughout the project.
At the very end, we arrange for a professional post-construction clean of the entire renovated area. We hand you the keys to a spotless, move-in-ready apartment so you can start enjoying it immediately.
This is a critical part of a successful apartment renovation, and we take it very seriously. Before any work begins, we install protective coverings on floors and walls in all common areas we'll be using.
We communicate closely with your building manager to coordinate lift usage and deliveries, ensuring we adhere to all body corporate rules and minimise any disruption to your neighbours.
No, you don't. In fact, our service is designed for busy apartment owners who don't have the time for daily site management. Your dedicated project manager is your eyes and ears on the ground.
We provide regular, scheduled updates with photos and clear communication, so you're always informed of the progress. You are always welcome to visit, but you can feel confident that the project is being expertly managed in your absence.
Yes, 100%. We only work with a trusted team of fully licenced and insured tradespeople who we've been working with for years. Every person on our sites is a master of their craft and understands the specific requirements of apartment renovations.
This not only guarantees the quality of the workmanship but also ensures all work is compliant and that you, your apartment, and your building are fully protected.
Our price reflects a complete, fully managed service designed to eliminate risk and stress. A cheaper quote often omits key items or relies on lower-quality materials and trades, which can lead to costly defects and budget blowouts down the line.
Our fixed-price contract includes expert project management, high-quality workmanship, a 10-year warranty, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing every detail is being handled professionally.
Of course. We're incredibly proud of the transformations we've created. You can see a selection of our completed apartment projects in the gallery on our website.
During our consultation, we can also discuss specific examples that might be similar in style or scope to what you're looking to achieve, helping you to visualise the potential of your own space.
Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers any defects related to the quality of our building work. This is our commitment to building things that last and gives you long-term confidence in your investment.
It's part of the comprehensive handover package you receive, which also includes all product warranties and compliance certificates.
While we specialise in complete, end-to-end apartment renovations, we also undertake larger individual projects like full kitchen and bathroom renovations within apartments. The key is that we manage the entire project for you.
The best way to know if your project is a good fit is to contact us for a consultation. We're always happy to discuss the scope and how our team can help.
