Frequently asked questions
What you need to know before starting the permit journey.
Does every renovation need permits? Not all.
Minor interior works rarely need approval, but structural changes, extensions, and fa ade updates do. We assess requirements during consultation.

We handle submissions across Malaysia, adjusting documentation to each councils process.
What if the council rejects the plan? We revise.
We respond to objections and resubmit without extra fees unless the design scope itself changes.
