Hi, I am planning to do renovation for my house, wet kitchen extension at the back. Any architect to recommend which can help to apply for the renovation permit? wondering how much it cost usually.

You can visit the Planning Dept at the majlis. They normally have accredited list of people to do the drawing and submission of plan.

Call few and compare quotes.

sorry, i forget to mention, my area is MPKJ. they will have a list of like a panel architect also?

Should have. You call to find out B4 driving there.

Any qualified architect can submit, not necessarily their "panel".
MPKJ has pelan setara/standard plan for terrace house (intermediate lot) back extension. Is cheaper and faster. Plan ready drawn, just fill form and purchase. If u go early morning, and wait maybe same day can get approval, else within 3 days should get approval. Owner can self submit, and self take responsibility. But no CCC ya; if want CCC need engage architect. Need construct following the drawing, ie. can't do concrete roof.

I am end lot with side yard. Planned to extend the side and back a bit, and will have concrete slab. so I think I will need architect

Hi all, appreciate someone can help me clarify some of my questions.
Bought a 2nd hand landed intermediate double storey house and planning to do some reno with extension.

The house had some work done by the previous owner in the back, i.e convert the "used to be open area" to wet kitchen. Is this considered a extension? As there is no concerete slab/roof, just normal roof tiles to cover up that area. Reason im asking this, because my architect asked whether previous owner had submitted extension plan to authority? if no, i have to pay extra for the previous owner's work done. Is this true?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Architect is correct. MBPJ is strict on this. DBKL is more lenient.

I think you also need the contractor who will be doing the job to have valid CIDB certificate. Mine is under MPAJ and for erecting a one storey wall at back yard to extend the wet kitchen with roof, they need contractors to submit CIDB certificate.

Thanks for the reply. But does the previous workdone considered an extension? considering no concrete roof/slab invovled.

MBPJ will say yes.

ok thanks alot!

New roof = new extension regardless what type of roof.
Previous owner didn't apply, thus is illegal extension. You not only have to legalise it but also pay the fine.

If the previous owner oredi done the extension, what other 'extension' are you doing ? I believed the previous owner oredi extent max. Or you now want to extend the first floor ?

I would like to seek for advice for MPKL (Kuala Langat) renovation extension on 2nd floor master bedroom and also the side end lot. Any recommendations and suggestions?

I just recently purchased a end lot unit I'd would like to do renovation basically the kitchen area and also the front. In order to get CCC, can i get Indonesian general contractor to do or there is other way around this

In order to obtain the CCC, property owner must comply with the local authority tnc.

Is good to visit your local authority to find out their requirements, otherwise U will be scammed for being Sens wise, Ringgit foolish.

Owner cannot have the best of both .... cheaper construction cost and legality.

Legality comes with a price tag.

In fact I have visited dbkl to check to see if they have ready made plan. Unfortunately it is no longer available. When I ask some contractor, most of them only do the submission omitting the CCC part. What i understand is that if without CCC, the construction is considered illegal because the plan submission is permit to start construction.
