Dear all, as per PM’s speech today, are renovation works still allowed to be continued during PKP 2.0?

Regards.

I guess house renivation is not considered essentual economic sector...

But “pembinaan” = construction works is being defined as 1 of the 5 essential services in the text.

tomorrow the govt will provide more details on mco sop.

Last round MCO 1.0 what was the rule?

I'm also stuck. My house more than 90% completed. Dust everywhere.

Hopefully can finish it.

In early MCO 1.0, the house renovation works were stopped completely.

It resumed only around mid May and all workers were required to go for covid test before working.

Due to the policy confusion, some contractors chose to resume working only in early June.

I am stuck too....supposed to move in this Saturday. Renovation at cleaning stage now. Moving in allowed or not?

Looks like all house renovation works are not allowed..?

Does house renovation works fall under construction or service? I really hope they would allow house renovation cause we need to move in soon

If not mistaken, the pembinaan only applies to construction, as in incomplete projects construction can continue.
Own renovation wasn't allowed during MCO 1.0.
You will also need to check with your condo mgmt as well if you live in one.
They might not allow any renovation or move in.
Anyway, better wait for detailed SOPs from gov.

Is your contrator CIDB certified? If yes, they should know more than anyone else and they'll be responsible for everything.

Renovation cannot during MCO...

KKR official reply: can renovation

Only critical -

B. Construction
Construction:
Critical maintenance and repair work
Major public infrastructure construction works, and
Construction works for buildings that provide complete accommodation at construction sites or workers housed in the Central Labour Quarters (CLQ).

Click that Twitter link & scroll read before anyhow correct me.

KKR official account say can. Unless you say KKR wrong.

Yes you are correct, according to the reply, home renovation is allowed subject to the renovation company/contractor applying via MITI first.

OK, sorry, didn't realize that comment - as i read the media release statement, it states in BM pembaikan rumah, so I assume it is repair work e.g something breaks down. Anyway, I have a renovation project and I will ask my contractor to apply. Thanks.

Twitter Rasmi Kementerian Kerja Raya : Renovation boleh ✅

But need to apply MITI. Wonder how strict would that be? Doubt most of the common/economical contractors out there are officially registered.. 😅

Hold on.... now tak boleh on Facebook pula...

Actually read the SOPs release is pretty clear, only critical work that affect workers or others are allowed. I doubt renovation falls under it.
