So where there's a will there might be a way  Great, I'll explore this option… Thanks PipeMan..

Thanks Pipeman.. Looking at your web page you are clearly a professional.. which bodes badly for me… This advice could be a war stopper for me as I am pretty sure the BC will not let me drill a hole through the outer wall.. And I'm guessing they will not let me cut a channel through the slab to the nearest bathroom either…

Thanks Whale…  If you mean two apartments that share a wall then that's right.. The plan would be to punch a large hole in the wall to turn the apartments into a single apartment.. Hence the reason I want to convert a kitchen into an ensuite… not much use for two kitchens 😉

The apartments are in Brisbane but I'm assuming QLD and NSW would have similar hoops to jump through… I expect I would need to get engineering and design plans done, if only to convince the body corporate to let me do it… I also anticipate new valuations etc to satisfy city council rate recalculations… 

That said, I'm hoping all of this would simply be a matter of finding the right one-stop-shop company that would do all this for me – for a price of course… Any ideas if such a company exists ?

Thanks Mr Strata,

 

The building is quite new (5 years) and high rise so Im guessing all outer walls and floors are concrete with pipes imbedded .. Have you ever heard of anyone cutting into a concrete floor to rechannel pipes?

 

Cheers
