If i need to renovate a shop in Shah Alam, do i need to get permit from MBSA?

Seems a bit late to ask after more than 1 year. But, just wondering if you did indeed get a permit from MBSA to renovate the shop?

Edit-Sorry..I should read all the post first

Old post, but tempted to reply anyway. Here goes...
If shop renovation involves new partition, hacking of party wall and/or new awning, then yes permit is required. If you do f&b, the new kitchen sink shall be connected to the grease trap too.

2 choices:
1) Owner do application - using booklet purchased from MBSA but they only grant temporary permit, which is annually renewable and up to 5 years only. Particularly useful if tenant occupies the shop.

2) Architect do application for permanent approval.

Hope this helps whoever comes across the thread in future.

I am planning to do front and back reno.

What is the procedure to get MBSA permit for terrace-end-lot (not intermediate) ?

I called MBSA, and they say the guidebook is for intermediate terrace house. For non-intermediate, need to call someone else .... throw me around and make multiple calls without answer.

If guidebook or standard plan not applicable to your case, then need an architect or draughtsman to prepare, submit the plan and obtain the permit. If extension involve 1 storey flat roof or 2 storey, then need structural engineer too. Once renovation is completed satisfactorily, your architect will arrange authority inspection and follow up till CCC is issued.

PM me. You can actually apply through Buku Setara MBSA even your house is end-lot, I teach you how and share with you some documents. We can chit chat there, just to share to you some knowledge I'm aware of and had went through numerous times.

i had the same headache. doing extension work on the extra land (side). so i had to hire an architect firm to do drawing, submission, including CCC. my extension is only single floor, but since im planning to do slab roof, i still need endorsement from engineer. if you hire the right firm they will do everything for you one shot - less headache. mine came about rm5.5k

May I know is your property a corner lot/end lot? what are the house extension done? is the architect 5.5K charger just for drawing a renovation plan + RC plan, plan submission and CCC?

end lot unit with side extension. charges for architect drawing + submission + CCC...

Thanks for feedback. Mind to share your architect or registered draughtman contact by PM.

My property is DSL corner lot and I've about 22' X 70' extra land on the side. Initially my plan to extend the existing wet kitchen to the back yard (5' X 17' ) and also to build new dinning room (with area size 10' X 20') on the side. Some forumer Sifu said MBSA don't approve side wall extension for corner lot due to distance from new build wall to sempadan setback distance to meet 20' requirement. Based on this restriction, I can't get the site extension approval from MBSA, most likely I can only do the back extension and leave side extension out from my renovation plan.

This morning, I downloaded the 10th Jul 2021 updated MBSA garis panduan file from the MBSA web site. Inside the new GP content for DSL corner lot ubahsuai site extension and show the new anjakan kawasan for Site (Sisi Kiri /kanan) between new wall - pagar setback is 10 feet and not 20 feet.

Now, I'm confuse whether side setback between new extension wall to sempadan is 10 feet or 20 feet. should I include the side extension in the my renovation plan.

ya, i faced the same issue with the 'setback'. mine is extended end lot (28ft extra land at the back). wanted to have 5' setback from neighbour's wall. but apparently end lot must give at least 10' clearance from the pagar.

and corner lot 10' and 20'. but for corner lot, it depends what is next to your house: if there's another house / main road / empty land. architect will advice you on that.

i just feel like it is just waste of space, 5' set back is more thn enough. MPK doesn't have this issue. only with MBSA you must have this much of clearance.
