hi all, i am considering to extend remaining 7 feet yard for wet kitchen but is considering to hack /remove the wall to make the kitchen more spacious. However, I am not sure or concern if the removal of one side wall will effect the house structural beam??. I have attached image as below.

Your kitchen extension is normal for all intermediate terrace house.

The Planning Dept should have a list of accredited draftsman for your job.

Not sure mbsa have standard floor plan for purchase now since I last dealt with them 18 years ago.

Once you completed the reno, you need to be issued a CF. This doc is important for fire insurance purpose and also you next buyer may insist a copy to confirm is not illegal extension.

Hi,

I am seeking 2nd opinion from architects/persons with knowledge and hopefully this forum can help me.

Some background info:
1. Double storey intermediate house in Subang Jaya.
2. Existing kitchen is extended all the way to the back (10Lx10W ft) leaving only 10Lx10W ft land on the side.
3. However, architect drawing hand over by the previous owner has kitchen extension plan (L10 x W15 ft) instead. This also meant that the previous owner had intended to extend the kitchen to L10 x W15 ft but decided to change his mind and only extend L10 x W10 ft.
4. Seeing so, I wanted to extend the kitchen to the side by 5 ft which will make the kitchen L10 x W15 ft as per the drawing.
5. I engaged a certified architect to assist me with renovation and building permit application and approval. I was informed that I am required to do up a new drawing and the old drawing cannot be used. Hence, I followed his advice.
6. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, I am hit with a lot of excuses from MBSJ and the application which was submitted since March and resubmitted again in April did not get approve.
7. The architect had do his best to communicate and reach out to the officer in charge but always met with MIA.
8. No amount of attempts had been successful and, despite, all the good will to try move things forward in accordance to regulation have been futile.

I totally get it. The pandemic has caused a lot of disorder in the public services etc. I am surprise that I am not even angry but wanted to find solutions instead. So here are my questions:

1. I have an existing drawing certified by the previous owner architect that reflects the kitchen L10 x W15 ft. Is it a must to do a new drawing just to get approval for renovation permit and CCC? I have read in other threads that owners typically draw the house plan that takes future extension in consideration. So I can't see the logic here. If I can use the existing drawing, then it makes the application a lot more easier right?

2. I really don't want to make a fuss with MBSJ. Hence, I thought of submitting a new application in hopes it can be assign to a functioning officer. But I was told by the architect that MBSJ would have to close the file in the system prior to submitting a new application. Otherwise, there would be no closure and it will result to work process complications. Is that true?

3. Maybe... and if just maybe... someone in this forum could help me with connecting someone with authority in MBSJ. I have no intentions to bypass the requirements but just a simple request to have my application review and approve by another functioning officer. I understand that the online docketing system had been offline and my architect is willing to re submit a manual application to comply. What are my options then?

Once again, I totally get it. The frustration, the pandemic, the disorder, the compliance, the rules etc. All I am asking for is for things to progress.

Your responses will be much appreciated

Yes. The original 10ft structure will not be demolished. I am wondering if extending the additional 5ft which makes L10ft x W15ft would still comply to the drawing that was handed over by the previous owner.

I will be staying here for a long time so getting in trouble with neighbours is the last thing I want.

Thanks bro. My buddy currently doing in Kajang. Surprisingly they did not asked for neighbors consent. I'll check with MPS too.

Hi there, i need advices from any of you who has the experience with Majlis Perbandaran Kuala Langat.

I'm going to renovate a newly completed landed property from developer. I just want to install plaster ceiling, wiring for additional power point, cabinet and wardrobe fixture, installation of some washroom shower screen, mirror etc and lastly do the painting. Do i need to apply permit from the council?

Hi bro. Thanks. Do you have the majlis form for Selayang like you attached for kuala langat plz. Thanks bro.

Mine is individual. I tried searching on MPS page. Too many sublinks, some of the terms are confusing. Appreciate if your can send the link. Tqvm. Understood on the setback. After extension there will be 30ft left.

If my house is single storey or double storey, can I convert the house roof to be a roof garden? possible to get the permit for this renovation?

Hi. I would like to know where can find mpk guidelines for renovation.

Hi all. What is the difference between R.C Gutter and G.I Gutter in MBSA Pelan setara?

Also if i use Pelan setara, I must follow the exact number of window and door location?

Hi all, need your advice on below:

My house original plan is like this. Wood door entrance is facing to North. I want to change the direction and make it 90 degree shifted to face East but need to extend 6' x 5' in front of the original door position.




Here is the photo of the original door position:



Propose to change to like this:



I have check with renovation guy and he says no need to do piling, just brick up the wall with cement plaster on it will do. For this extension work need to engaged licenced architect for drawing and submit to authority?

Sorry gang, out of topic awhile.

Normally landed front gate got small grass area at the side right, if we install Dato Kong there, izit legal or illegal or need any permit?

Thank you!!! Newbie here

From the picture i have attached, left is Pelan Setara and right is my design.

1) Key differences is i have wider window and also exit door location does not align with Pelan Setara
2) I did not extend the toilet like pelan setara, so no toilet window on the facade
3) I break a wall internally and replaced with Glass Partition

With the changes above, will i consider non compliance? If it advisable to still get Pelan Setara or to get someone qualified to re-draw? I remember reading somewhere that MBSA do have services to draw for few hundred but can't find that information anymore
I planned to goto MBSA next week as they have now allowed walk in. Hope they still have pelan setara in stock. By the way, flat concrete roof is not in the plan right?
Did you go with tiles roof?

Hi,

Can someone help me relating to CCC for wet kitchen extension (concrete slab)?

I got someone who quoted me for the kitchen extension drawings and MBSA permit processing but told me CCC is optional as most house owner didnt do this part. Is there any risk to skip the CCC portion and do i need to make sure my renovation contractor is register under CIDB ??
Thanks

Hi wanna ask a cluster house under MBSA, wanna extend side for wet kitchen and first floor. Side land is 10feet. Wanna extend till about 9 feet same with the house behind of mine.

Was told by some reno cannot get CCC coz MBSA will never approve but you still can do it coz everyone did it, but most of  them extend only single floor.

Some reno said can get CCC. Any idea on which statement is true?

BTW how important is CCC for the extension? Easy to sell in future?

I am curious to find out if a house is renovated without permit and once kena tangkap by DBKL, who will get the fine? The owner or the contractor?

however, many contractors told me to go to dbkl and apply myself..
is there any documentation required?
what if i go there without architect?
will dbkl proceed to let me submit for approval?

I got a permit for back extension. Wanna ask this permit only for one time use? If few years later I want to extend front porch still need to reapply permit or can use the same permit again?

Hi, may I know is it possible to get a runner to buy the original drawing plan of the house since current owner had lost the drawing, the place is in PJ
