Claremont has more blocks of flats and sectional title complexes than most other southern suburbs, thanks to its position near the shops and transport routes. That means space is usually the biggest factor in any cupboard job here, and body corporate rules often come into the conversation before we even measure up. CDC Projects has fitted cupboards, flooring and doors across plenty of Claremont apartments and the smaller freestanding homes tucked between the complexes, so we know the questions to ask before we quote.
Our services in Claremont
Free-standing cupboards
In a sectional title unit, altering the fixed structure usually needs body corporate sign-off, which can slow a project down. A free-standing cupboard avoids that entirely since nothing is fixed to the wall or floor, and it is often the fastest way to add proper storage to a flat.
Bedroom cupboards
Where you do have approval to install built-ins, bedroom cupboards that run floor-to-ceiling make the most of a smaller room. We design the internal layout around what you actually need to store, not a generic split of shelves and hanging space.
- Sliding doors to save floor space in tighter rooms
- Mirrored fronts to help a small bedroom feel bigger
- Full-height units that use the space above eye level
Kitchen cupboards in Claremont
Apartment kitchens are often galley-style or compact, so every cupboard needs to earn its space. We fit kitchen cupboards built around your actual appliances, with taller units to make up for a smaller footprint. Where the kitchen opens onto a lounge or dining area, we also think about how the cupboard fronts look from that side of the room.
Laminate flooring
Flats and complexes see a lot of foot traffic between rooms and passages. Laminate flooring holds up well under that kind of daily use and gives a clean, consistent look through an open-plan unit.
Doors and lock fitting
Security is usually a bigger concern in denser areas, and internal doors in older complexes can wear out faster with more people moving through them. Our door installation and lock fitting service covers both.
DIY cupboards
Plenty of Claremont renters and owners buy flat-pack units online and then run out of time to build them. Our DIY cupboard assembly service gets it sorted properly, usually within a day.
Plumbing
Small kitchens sometimes need plumbing moved to fit a better cupboard layout, especially around the sink and washing machine point. Our plumbing service works alongside the cupboard team so it is one visit, not two.

Common questions from Claremont homeowners
Do I need body corporate approval for a built-in cupboard?
It depends on your complex’s rules, since some treat built-ins as a structural change and others do not. We recommend checking with your body corporate before we quote, or choosing a free-standing option to sidestep the issue.
Can you work with limited parking or a small lift?
Yes, we plan our installs around building access. Let us know the lift size and loading restrictions when you book so we bring the right equipment.
Are free-standing cupboards as sturdy as built-in ones?
Yes, they are built to the same standard, just designed to stand on their own rather than being fixed to a wall. Many renters and flat owners prefer them for exactly that reason.
Do you fit cupboards in small studio apartments?
Yes, and it is often where good design matters most. We will suggest layouts that make the most of a compact space rather than just shrinking a standard design.
How quickly can you turn a small job around?
n
A single free-standing cupboard or a DIY assembly job can often be booked and completed faster than a full built-in kitchen, since there is less to plan around access and building rules.
