Summary
Full bathroom renovations involve multi-trade coordination across demolition, waterproofing, tiling, and plumbing alterations, with rising labor and material costs in Australia. When engaging building contractors, property owners must ensure the waterproofing contractor provides a formal Compliance Certificate conforming to Australian Standards. In Victoria, licensed builders provide statutory warranties covering structural integrity and waterproofing integrity, making it critical to confirm warranty documentation and scope before executing contracts.
Key Points
