Hi there,

If I want to extend my kitchen, do I need a drawing from architect for submission to local council?

Anyone have experience on this? How much does it roughly cost? (drawing + submission)

If DBKL, they have a standard drawing which can be purchased at counter. But you have to built exactly like those drawing lar. Bear in mind their standard drawing covers minimum changes.
If you need Architect to draw it, then you are looking at minimum 2 k. Don't take my word for it but it will be expensive.

Usually if it's a minor extension I guess no one would go to the hassle of "requesting" for permits.

Agreed especially if it's back of the house, which is not that visible, but need to be ready for some gov servant that may come to pay a 'visit'.
Most only go for permits if it involves front area or major renovation

Extension of kitchen usually doesn't need submission of drawing from architect.

One just need to visit the authority & apply renovation permit (to avoid future kacau).

But different authority has different regulations.

It's not exactly minor though...

I mean the ground floor would be extended fully to the back with brick and mortar. It's like a little room on it's own.

Someone offered me the service to draw + submit. Not sure necessary or not?

Which area the house located?

extension of a kitchen normally cost how much?

But on the safe side, apply for permit.

Heheheh.....I am also doing kitchen extension of my new house with MPSJ - hope yours is not in Bukit Serdang

Anyway, for a simple extension you can purchase a standard plan from MPSJ for RM50 - in my case I am doing like yours - I got the contractor to draw and submit the plan.

Submission fee for MPSJ is ~ 1.6k.

Hi all anyone got good house renovation companies to recommend? I'm looking for someone to sort of like convert a 1 storey house to 2 storeys.

This is not renovate but rather re-build as the foundation for single storey house will not support the load of one & half or double storey.

You mean the renovation permit?

I see... but do you know any companies that does this? Any recommendations.. Currently looking to do this...

bro cwtien, you must be kidding me right Could we have actually brought at the same place? haha

The developer is one lousy SOB right? poor workmanship and talk crap

Err...err.....Mine is Bukit Ciri - which is pretty good. It's at the top of the hill. Is yours the one that got stiffed a few feet of ceiling height?

hehe lucky you

eh not sure what you mean but generally bad workmanship.

I heard few of my neighbour just brought the standard drawing from MPSJ. Not sure whether that works or not?
