as per title, can interior renovation work start once collected key? heard that some developer hand key over but have to wait few months to get CCC approved...

Yes, you can start your renovation immediately after you have collected the keys to your brand new house BUT be reminded of the followings:-
1) you are not allowed to reside within the house; and
2) make sure that all the defects has been rectified by the developer because the defect liability period will be expunged once you meddled with the house, especially wirings.

Remember to get approval from the Joint Management Body.

Good luck.

thanks for the info... was thinking if only minor defects would just ask contractor to rectify it... since i heard sometimes developer take 2-3 months just to fix them... that will cost 3 months installment 7k+ d... so cheaper to ask contractor to rectify... if big defect then no choice la...

interior renovation also need to get approval from JMB? things like plaster ceiling, wiring and carpentry work only wor...

Yes, you need to make a formal application to them and then pay the renovation deposit before they will issue to you a temporary permit to renovate otherwise your contractors will be barred from entry.

You can take back the deposit once the renovation is completed.

Yes. Absolutely right.

ohh... now i see... thank you for explaining it so clearly...

NO CCC NO VP. this is the fact

for service apartment and commercial title land got such thing la... mine is service apartment...

you can see under the manner of VP...
SOS

No such thing, even soho and apartment now is under HDA

CCC still take precedent. u cant occupy a unit without CCC. Architect issuing Borang F without CCC approval from local council can caused disipline action by LAM and compound from local authority.

this the news article did not tell you

If there's no major renovation work, but simple things like repainting, change of lighting, is approval from JMC needed?

as is with most articles, the writers are just copywriters who may not have enough experience in the field. Thanks for your input on the topic! Learned a lot and will share.. sometimes people ask me questions outside my field and I hope I could give them the right direction without misleading them

technically speaking, you still need to "inform" the JMB on any works carry out in your parcel however most people just ignored it because it does not involve acts that will cause nuisance to your neighbors (drilling etc).

the "informing" is actually for everyone's safety because then people will know the people entering and existing your parcel are authorized people (you don't want people entering and exiting your home with your belongings now, do you?).

the "deposit" paid is to reimburse the JMB as repair costs in the event your contractors damage any of the common properties.

to me, repainting and change of lighting does not warrant for an inform.

i thought can only vp after ccc?
