A renovation should add value to an owner’s home without putting the building or the neighbours at risk. Clearview sets clear conditions for every private renovation, so the structure is protected, neighbours are respected and the by-laws are followed.
Approval, step by step
- The owner applies. Plans, trades and materials are submitted before any work begins.
- The plans are reviewed. Clearview checks for structural, waterproofing, acoustic and services impacts.
- An engineer signs off where needed. Any wall removal, balcony change or major structural work needs certified engineering approval before the committee votes.
- The site rules are issued. Protection requirements, work hours and waste arrangements are set out before day one.
- The records are updated. Completed plans are added to the scheme’s records in the portal, for future maintenance and future buyers.
What is protected
Structure.
Slabs and load-bearing walls are left untouched without engineering approval.
Fire safety.
Fire separation between lots is kept intact.
Water and services.
Waterproofing, plumbing and shared services are protected.
Neighbours.
Floors meet an acoustic standard, and work happens only within the hours the scheme’s by-laws allow.
