How do they get their approval or cf/ccc?įirst, call or make a trip to your local town council to get the latest renovation guidelines (if you can’t find them on their respective websites).įinalise your renovation plans accordingly to make sure they do not violate any of the guidelines above. But i see a huge luxury house being build but i also didn't see any signage and while they have metal covering.just like simply and definately not 7 feet. But I saw all the houses there is all sort of sizes from huge bungalow even got 3 storey to funny looking houses that look like hostel to old houses.Īlso I am told need to get signage and high metal covering(7 feet) to cover up the st almost 15k, sign itself cost 1.8k. Got a few build until almost touching wall of garden.Īlso I was told need town planner cost 5k. I saw many many newly built houses around the same area that seems totally doesn't follow. I am wondering is there a need to submit plans for approval? Apparently it takes 5 months just to get approval.įunny thing is that while there are many by laws regarding the construction according to the draftsman I am consulting eg 20 feet clearance at front, 10 feet at both sides and back, awning cannot be more than 2.5feet from building line etc etc. I am planning to demolish a old half wooden house and rebuild a house on a 'bungalow' plot in a 'kampung' area under mpsj. My suggestion - renovate a house outside KL My contractor originally advised me not to go for approval as its a waste of time/money, but i thot if i just had 'partial approval' is better than nothing.but after paying 7k+ to DBKL, maybe what he said has a bit of truth in it afterall.īasically all these hurdles, bureaucracy, redtape is put in place so frustrate you guys so that you'd rather do things illegally - kopi first, or take risk, get in trouble, and kopi to settle. my house is nearing completion, maybe another 3-4 weeks, and no one from DBKL has come over yet according to my workers. So i paid the rm2k, and started work in july after waiting for 3 months. This deposit is only refundable if you get full approval from all 3 departments, and DBKL will come over to inspect your house after completion to see if you have followed the plans.

additionally, they will only grant the approval IF i pay additional RM2000 deposit. If i were to go on to get the full approval, i may need 6 months or more to get started, and the cost is even greater as you would need additional plans etc.Īnyway, planning department rejected my application as they said this is not UBAHSUAI, it is MEROBOH DAN MEMBINA SEMULA. I only opt to go for the first round at the planning department. there are 3 departments in DBKL: planning, landscape and one more i can't remember. My experience with DBKL, draw up plan with my contractor/architect, spent about RM5000 excluding submission fees.
