Architect and engineer drawings and submission fees should cost you about RM7,000.

Amount of time for approval entirely depends on whether your renovation has followed guidelines. Even so, approval would take 2-3 months at earliest following guidelines. Saw one house in ttdi which only got it's approval after 1.5 years from submission. It really depends on how complicated your plans are going to be.

Difficult to answer this question.
It depends on

Type of house
Which district
The applying agent
Range of construction
No standard price lah.

Wow!!! cost so high???

for 'standard' extension like double storey, front extension, back extension, you can purchase the standard plan from your municipal.

for eg mine, i did backyard kitchen extension, costs me (MBSA) as below . i believe other municipals should be around the same price too

- total amount: rm 524 + Rm700 + rm1000 + Rm25 (with around rm1400 deposit returnable after you have completed your renovation) . Assumed, you have follow their guidelines, else some deposit will be forfeited

Some told me MPSJ no longer have standard template all need Architecture drawing.

i am doing my reno. archtect drawing is RM5k. I was told this is the cheapest already. DBKL is harder to get approval then MPBJ/MPSJ. (Obviously Pakatan states are less corrupt).
Apparently you need to put up a signboard too... all adds up to the cost..
reno is expensive...
TNS

MP.Sepang
Extention on back included 2nd floor too. (maximum)
Cagaran Plan: 500
Process Plan: 191
Form + Sticker : 10
Total : 701

archtect Plan: 700
Signature: 400
Total : 1100

All in : 1801

May i know more details abt the process to apply the permit?? is contractor doing the architect drawing or i need to employ an architect to do it?

It depend as not all contractor do those paper work for you. Some ask you do get the permit before they work, some dont care if kena you pay.

In pj now is very strict. Better have a drawing plan and approval from mbsj

just got my new plan drawn by the mpsj registered draftmen and best part is the charges its less than 1.5k. a guy in mpsj (at the kaunter offer me rm 1.6k for drawing and submission till get approval). i said i need draftment list he gav one from there managed to get 1 draftment which charge very cheeap and very nice guy. total for permit is rm 2k +

Your actual price now is 1.5K or 2K+?

2k is total for draftman to draw pelan submission + MPSJ charges (tong and bla, bla, bla)

+1

applicable for new house too?
if i just wanna do some simple renovation such as kitchen cabinet and laying tiles also need permit?
my plan just for indoor only...

To build kitchen cabinets and change of tiles you don't need council approval. Hope that helps.

Added on November 23, 2011, 7:03 amI'm guessing this is for a basic type extension. From what i know the more complex plans are better drawn out by an architect or structural engineer rather than a draftsman. Professional charges are expensive as hell but heck if you're doing major structural changes, better to be safe then sorry.
