Awesome post! Thank you.

Good information

Good general info

do i need to engage a M&E engineer for authority submission for a self build house? whats the process?

why a M&E Engineer, but not an architect?

dont need bro. u need a professional architect(Ar.) as the principal submitting person. for new built house the authorities also need an approved structural drawing by professional engineer (Ir.)

so get the main guy first...architect>civil & structure engineer

thanks for the information. Very helpful

for g form submission. less than 100A, i dont need Ir electrical to endorse ?

is this reno or what? if less than 100A no need to sign the G form for electrical...example office reno liddat. 100A is three phase only. u only need competent person registered with Suruhanjaya Tenaga to endorse..u got extra money can hire Ir. liaoo...no prob

Yes, if 100A or less u just need ST registered electrical contractor to endorse. You may PM me if you need consultation on M&E.

Awesome
