If the reno job is simple, best us go talk to the officer jabatan bangunan and ask help to recommend for submitting person. Normally all in fee should be few thousands. However, if the job is complicated like you want to relocate existing column, add floor etc, you better go get a proper engineer to handle it. Go to those smaller setup where you will really get the service and cheaper. Those established firms generally have a nominal fee of 20 to 25k no matter how small the job is.

council in west msia can accept any malaysia qualified architect/engineer to submit even they have an official list of panel SP. Only anak bumi can submit in east msia. I just got two done in mpaj area without using their panel. Most of the councils dont have official list, but best is to use those recommended by their officers.

Speak to someone privately from building dept. Normally they can recommend and it's best to use the service for straight forward job.

The main concern shall be whtr the construction is safe for occupation.

The council could fine and serve notice for pemutihan or demolition of the illegal structure.
