Bro,

Regarding the approval do we necessarily apply for CF ?
what is the impact if we get CF or not ?

thanks

Hi Alfred,

Let me know if you got some contacts for kota damansara terrace house drawing as well.

I am looking for one too, thanks !

Lets say if I want to extend my Master Bedroom till the balcony only , which in this case involve hacking of the interior wall only, do I need approval from the local council  ?

How to get the approval of building plans and work permits

1. Owner must finalize the design of renovation before hire someone to do a submission
2. If contractor volunteer to do the submission, ask them which architect/building draughtman they use and LAM Registered No.
3. If necessary, owner must hire an engineer to do some calculation, report and structure drawing. (depends on Local Authorities)
4. Owner must prepare some documents for submission such as cukai taksiran, S&P, existing CF etc.
5. Consultation fees :-

RM2500-RM3000 includes Architect endorsement, site survey, building plan drawing, documentation and traveling.

Owner must prepare some cash around RM1000-RM2000 for deposit, processing fees, tong RORO (construction waste bin) depends on scale of renovation. Deposit will be returned when construction is completed. But for DBKL, no deposit required. Just pay RM100 for renovation less than 1000sqft (CODE B2)

6. Approval/Work Permit usually takes about 7-30days depends on ‘Piagam Pelanggan’ from Local Authorities.

Additional Info:-

Basic building setback for terrace :-
a) front - 20' clear from wall to boundary (main gate)
b) back - can extend to end of boundary
c) side (corner lot) - 10' clear from wall to boundary
d) side (end lot) - 5' clear from wall to boundary

The different thing between architect and building draughtsman (BD) is , BD are limited to specifying area only and the fees therefore a bit cheaper than architect.

Do not pay to enforcement if they ask for ‘kawtim’. Report to Local Authorities if happen.

Do not start work before get an approval/work permit. If not, you will be fined as much as 10x depends on your processing fees.

Do not trust contractor if they can ‘kawtim’ with Local Authorities. Some of them didn’t do a submission and if caught, owner will be responsible.

Architect is the person who will be responsible for the probability of future. They knows about UBBL and buildings.

Just pay a little bit for pleasure in the future...

Sharing is caring…

hi. what if the semi-D has no backlane, but there is a 10' ground at the back before a wall that divide the other house. Can still extend max to boundary?

I have renovation and the setback not following the law. Should I knock back the front wall and side walls to meet the set back and make current room smaller or I just replace with tempered glass? I need architect to submit plan to make it legal.
Cheras DBKL

I have the same question, what if the semi-d has no backlane but there is a 10' ground at the back before the wall, can we extend max to boundary?

Any known limitation on width of gate for 20' house? MPK informed me that the 'kebuk sampah' a.k.a. rubbish box has to be within the pillar somewhere but according to the standard plan book, the width of the gate can't be more than 10'

want to extend my kitchen at bukit jalil area. please pm me contact for the architect ya. thanks!

Yes, kebuk sampah has to be within the main gate pillar. if u demolish that box to make ur gate wide, u need to submit rayuan to Perbadanan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal Dan Pembersihan Awam (PPSPPA).

Bro, any idea of any known limitations of making the gate wider? And can the Syabas water meter be relocated?

Hi Bro

I need your professional advice. My house just completed the renovation.
I went to MBSJ to apply for CF and also claimed the deposit RM1000 which I paid for renovation plan submitted for approval earlier.
However, the MBSJ OIC informed me to let my architect handle it and do not want to liaise with me.

My architect told me he will charge another RM350 for applying CF for me and he cannot guarantee that I will get the CF orthe deposit will return because based on his experience, MBSJ officer will give all kind of excuses to stop us from getting back our deposit, e.g. the wall is different by 1 or 2 inch from the plan.
But he guarantee me that I will not have any issue when selling house in the future.

MY question is
1. What are the potential issues  for house without CF after renovation (e.g.:Back extention 10sqft).
2. Is that true that it is difficult to get the CG and deposit even though I have follow the proper way to submit renovation plan before renovation?
As my architect  has been trying to convince me to forgone the RM1000 deposit so that I can save the additional RM350 and the hassle to prepare the documents?

Really appreciate if you can resolve my inquiry. Many thanks in advance

My first question - what kind of extension r u doing?base on my experience liaise with MBPJ, deposit for house renovation only Rm100 not RM1000.

Since 2007, CCC are implemented to replace CF.

Normally architect will prepare documents for CCC including Borang B, Borang G1-G21 (Contractor need to sign this form). Your architect knows about this.

CCC are important when something happen to your house. Insurance agent will come to your house and inspect whether your new extension build as per drawing or not.
