bro - your 1.6k inclusive of everything? deposit etc. No other cost?

Aiyaks, the renovator came back saying MPSJ submission fee ~ 2.5k

1.3k for submission - then additional fee depends on whether it's ground or first floor. Then there's the architect drawing fee - if you're not using the standard plan. After that there's additional money for every item added in - for instance a tap is an extra RM7.

I was told there is a RM300 deposit, with RM270 refundable.

Blood sucking MPSJ - like that also can...*sigh*

bro i suggest you get a second opinion.

My survey tells me around 1.7k if you are using roof tiles to 2.3k if you are using concrete slab??? as roof.

Well, the contractor showed me the price breakdown - I was reviewing it myself.....

The price is also different depending on whether you're doing ground floor or 1st floor....

Silly me - I didn't realise MPSJ is very webified. Here's the full list of the charges.

link not working bro

I just tried it and it worked. Did you copy and paste it or clicked on the link?

not even start the renovation already cost that much.. haiyaa..

how about if make 'tembok' only at back yard? if no wall being brake, still need all those ka?

What is a 'tembok'?

By the law; as long as you're building something that's not in the plan (not sure about landscaping), you'll need a plan to be approved. Unless you're 'tembok' is not that high and there's no connectivity from your house towards it. i.e. just a piece of wall maybe to shield your back yard or kitchen from the views of ppl.

*shrug* Mine is included, since my contractor is also the same one doing the 2nd phase launch, so can 'pinjam' the rubbish bin. This is a requirement by MPSJ - it's roughly (I forgot - this is a guesstimate) RM200 per rubbish truck - depends on how much rubbish you're going to generate - for that you get the big industrial rubbish dump to use until it's filled. Normally you'll get billed for it...

For payment, agree with your contractor beforehand. Normally they'll require progress payment or partial payment beforehand since they don't have a lot of cash on hand. Mine so far is 5k (start) + 7k (progress payment). The final 8k is on completion.

sorry bro. what i meant was the payment for the MPSJ architect drawing + submission + approval

or unless your one is done by your contractor together with the extension so pay progressively as you described?

Oh that - that should be upfront. You have to pay MPSJ when submitting anyway. For mine, the initial 5k also included the MPSJ plan submission.

Just to update my fees. Once I know more, I would compile all the info in the first page

Drawing + Submission + Approval = RM1200

Tong Sampah = Rm 500

Processing Fee = RM 265

Total = Rm1965

Almost RM2k d and not yet even start actual work. Heard that MPSJ is more expensive that other Majlis also

If just kitchen, then no need to have the drawing. If your extension can be seen from outside, then you need the drawing.

I think X-Zen is extending by building a wet kitchen that will occupy the backyard area. So will be visible from outside.

You are right. Anyway already confirmed need drawing

my kitchen want to extend 5 feet,and upstair want to do balcony, so have to submit drawing or just can buy the plan?
