Oh it is MBPJ, then it is fairly straightforward and transparent.

The house I did was also under MBPJ.

Most older PJ homes, other than those built on a former mining land won't require pilling to go from single storey to double storey. However it would require bigger and stronger footing beams.

I'd advise you get your contractor to "settle" everything for you from the architectural and engineering drawings to the planning permission. It would work out being significantly cheaper.

I would get an ID, let them kautim everything. It really does save us a lot of time and headache at a slightly higher cost.

Also, last I budgeted around 180psft for a decent ground up. If you are going luxury path, somewhere around the 220 region should be suffice
