hey guys, u may ask me anything about construction industry and i'll try my best to answer all ur question.


Construction Industry is so complex and actually affect various party namely,

House buyer / Purchaser
Developer
Consultant (Architect, Engineer and etc)
Main Contractor
Subcontractor / Vendor / Supplier
Local Authority (DBKL, BOMBA, SYABAS, TNB, TELEKOM, POS, JKKP, IWK and etc.)

u can also ask me about construction law. I know a lot abt that too

yes, u need local authority approval. therefore, get the design-build contractor to pau everything for u.

same, if ur own hand, mean urself is a contractor. and yes u need approval from local authority. else how u get water supply? electric supply? even u don't need that or u generate electric urself, u also need to comply requirement under uniformity of building under relevant by-laws where only local authority only can grant u approval.

cost wise i have no much idea. but then it definitely take a lot of ur time. if u get a design and build contractor, he pau everything to u as he know the procedure well and also got "shortcut". not just involve architect, it involve engineer, licensed planner as well. competent contractor can even build for u first and get approval later as he know how to get the approval. hence can do both design and build concurrently. this save a lot of time.

oic. u need machinery to do that. everything by hand? seems impossible with just a helper

but for sure u need to get license architect / engineer to design for u and do submission to local authority.
