U mean this "professional fees" are not officially fees for DBKL?

Initiallg they give quotation lump sum XXXK amount (we are OK with the amount) and said they will NOT ask for extra money if material pricds goes up and that is all we need to pay. Later then they said this "DBKL fees" approximately 9K is payable to DBKL they no take a single cent from there.
So im just curious is it really true or upcar.

I was told they have their own architect but when they present the draft floor plan they said someone is drawing and charging them, that sounds like outsourced to me.

So i was assuming the reno price is inclusive architect fees except DBKL fees as they mentioned.
They could have up the reno price to include DBKL fees but why didnt they? Is it a norm for split fees for DBKL?

Based on the workscope above it is confirm the floor plan is done by DBKL (or their appointed subcon) and not done by the reno company?
Is it a norm for this practice?
They did mentioned few tines they have a few DBKL insider thst helps them to do certain things such as submissions, but im not sure inclusive architectrial drawings or not.

The difference of 7K is quite alot if indeed DBKL fees around 2K.
If they told me upfront about this maybe i could find my own architect cheaper?
This Contractor All Risk policy is during renovation or after? We already advised contractor to get insursnce but they say not to worry they will cover repair costs if damaged neighbour house during renovation.

Btw another side question.

How much fees need to pay TNB if u want to move the meter from door entrance (current location) to outdoor gate pillar?
Contractor says they cant simply move without TNB approval, eventhough the reno will demolish whole building and build from scratch.

Can my contractor's electrician do the work after paying approval fees to TNB or has to pay another electrician appointed by TNB?

They said other than the amount we pay for reno, there will be approximately 9K payable to DBKL for submissions (for approval of floor plan and stuffs)
Nothing about deposit.

So i guess they outsourced the floor plan drawing to the worker in DBKL for "faster processing" and pass the fee to us.
I would prefer they actually told me this upfront as now knowing it makes me doubt them.

Is this consider expensive professional fees?
CCC is not provided btw.

Geee so many things so confusing.

From what they mention it sounds like this DBKL worker is also an architect that helps them to draw and submit floor plan.

Need to read about this dilapidation already. Never heard this b4 until today.
Hmmm now its getting more interesting...they are saying this fees is for engineers, architect, consultant (not themselves) and inclusive of dbkl submission.

They provided their cert dated 2020 but search found no result.

Anyway CCC is not a must right?
