Often limited to interior work (walls, flooring, kitchen, etc.). Permissions More flexibility, but may still need local permits. Often requires approval from building management/HOA. Design Flexibility High – more space and freedom to reconfigure layout. Limited – shared walls, load-bearing structures restrict changes. Cost Generally more expensive due to size and complexity.
