Currently I am staying in a 2  1/2 stories terrace house ie garage at the lower ground and would like to wall up the garage with some bricks, sliding door and windows. No extension outside or concrete beam required as the walling will be from current left wall to right wall and floor to ceiling beam.

Search DBKL's website and can't find anything on what I planned to do. Anyone know whether permit is required. Their guideline says any renovation involving concrete and steel bars requires approval.

Thanks.

If you are planning to wall up the garage, then will need to check on compliance to Bomba. Better to check with DBKL or an Architect who is familiar with this matter.

Just to wall up the yellow area in the attachment.

If existing in not walled up, it is considered as open space.
If you then walled up, than is is considered as enclosed space. There are requirements to complied with.
Of course, if you wish, you could just wall up without submitting to DBKL. Just the risk you have to take. smile.gif

One caution BEWARE of COWBOYS contractors. Get a few quotations. Check their reliability. Don't be fooled by the pictures they showed you on their completed projects.

Fully agree with you. Don't get mislead by these contractors.
