Once you accept, we sign a written contract, arrange the permit if your project needs one, and put Domestic Building Insurance in place. Then we guide you through every selection, tiles, tapware, vanities, so by the time tools are picked up, every decision is made.

Construction

Strip back. Build right.

Your bathroom is fully stripped back to raw framework. Carpentry lock-up and structural prep come first. Electrical and plumbing rough-in is completed behind the walls before anything closes up. Plastering, insulation, then waterproofing, applied, flood-tested and signed off by an independent inspection. This is non-negotiable at every Lilac project. Then tiling, fixing carpentry, painting, fit-off, fixtures, shower screen, final clean.

Included
  • Demolition + strip-back
  • Carpentry & structural prep
  • Electrical + plumbing rough-in
  • Waterproofing + flood test
  • Tiling + painting
  • Fixtures + final clean
