Start with your Paddington property
For a Paddington terrace, start with the existing bathroom footprint, original openings and the route through the house.
Paddington crosses the City of Sydney and Woollahra council areas, so use the street address to identify the relevant council.
Check the property's heritage information before changing windows, walls or external ventilation.
For a compact terrace bathroom, ask the renovator to compare storage and shower options within the measured room.
The property's condition and your scope determine the quote, rather than its postcode.
Explore heritage bathroom planning, apartment renovations and small bathroom layouts to compare relevant approaches.

Check the property's own planning controls, any heritage status and the proposed work with council or an appropriately qualified professional.
For strata homes, discuss the scope with the strata manager before booking trades.
The NSW Government renovation guide explains the categories of strata work.
Build a budget from the scope
Separate preparation, wet-area work, fixtures, finishes and access in your quote request.
