I'm not sure about that. But if the Architect is not MPS Panel, they can't draw and submit to MPS. The Architect Firm has to be MPS Panel. Therefore, it is advisable for you to have a visit to MPS office to check with them and get the Contact for the Panel Architect.

I paid RM 2,000 back in 2011. Cost include, drawing, reno plan, MPS Deposit, Permit and etc. I'm not sure the cost now. But it's better you estimate RM 3,000 + GST.

Yes. But that also "if" you follow the plan and reno according to rules and regulation setfort. If you tend to deviate a bit, then it will take a longer time to get back ur deposit. What i suggest is to use the Deposit to pay for Tong Roro. Tong Roro is the bin to contain the reno waste. Each tong (depending on size) has different cost. MPS has it's panel for tong roro provider. They will claim the amount from MPS which offset again ur deposit. Do check this out with the Architect. Last time my architect advise me that way because my reno deviate a lot from the Plan. so, i didn't go back to MPS to claim back the Deposit.

Yes, you can treat it as normal deposit. But if your reno doesn't match the plan/drawing, then u can't get refund of your deposit until u rectify it.

Maybe you can consider this thread for information

I THINK WE NEED TO PAY EXTRA FROM OUR MAINTENANCE FEE. ALREADY CHECKED WITH THE SALESMAN, MAINTENANCE FEE WE PAID IS DIFFERENT FROM CLUB FEE!

The Salesman told me if less owners want to pay the maintenance fee in future, the MC can increase the fee in order to cover up the guard services.

Also, if less owners want to pay the club fee, they will cut down the maintenence of pond, gym equipment etc.

I THINK RM120 IS FOR PER MONTH NOT FOR PER YEAR?
