hi,
i'm trying to do some minor renovations in my apartment. knock down bathroom wall and one other small wall.
the apartment management told me i need to go to dbkl to get approval. then after that i need to submit the dbkl approval to the aparment committee for further scrutiny.

has anyone gone through this process and can share their experience? how much does it cost and how long will it take?
i read in the thread that for landed property it's upwards of 10k and takes 3 months. this seems rather exorbitant considering that the wall i want to knock is only 2m wide.

Do you have the existing structure plan of your floor? If the wall you're going to knock off is a load bearing wall then no way it will get approved. But if it is normal brickwall, you should have green light to go ahead unless the management require mandatory DBKL approval to start work. Renovation without changing and adding load to existing structure can be able to carry out without DBKL approval.

Meanwhile you need to check if there is beam underneath new brickwall to be constructed.

i don't a structure plan. the apartment management said they do not either and asked me to go to DBKL as they have a copy of the structural plans. Is this correct?

They definitely have it. But u can do some minor test to check if it is Load Bearing wall. Try to knock on several wall to see, if it sounds hollow it is brick wall and if it sound firm and less echo it is Concrete filled wall.

normally bathroom dividing walls inside a room wouldn't be load-bearing right? the walls i want to knock down are all around one brick thickness.

Possible to recommend someone? Am doing some extension behind for 1st and 2nd floor. Thanks.

You need to apply for a permit. Both KL and Selangor. I had replaced and rebuild numerous residential property roofinf, all need to apply and at least 1 roro bin must be utilised.

I saw some company online are available for the roro bin rental, will they apply the permit for us if we rent from such company in that case?
