Standard reno or extensive reno? If you go to MPS, they will guide u to Architect Company. Pay the Architect company and the company will handle the Deposit and Permit. Here is the step that i involved last time 5 years ago. Not sure whether the procedure still same.
1. Go to MPS
2. Get Architect Contact and Location
3. Meet up with Architect and inform the architect of your reno. (advisable for you to bring your property plan)
4. Submit related documents + photo to architect
5. Wait for Drawing to complete (if you have the drawing from developer in softcopy, it will shorten the architect drawing time)
6. Once drawing completed, pay the full amount
7. Architect submit to MPS
8. If Plan rejected, architect will revise the plan (usually approve)
9. Once approved, go to Architect office to collect the Permit.
10. Paste the Permit in front of your house and you may start reno now.
