Building owners can apply for an approved permit for any renovation or extension work on their buildings. The Seremban Municipal Council appeals to all individuals or groups wishing to renovate or extend their buildings to first obtain the written approval of the Buildings Department of the Council. This is to avoid the owners from being served unpleasant notices and actions from the Council’s authority.

Procedures :

• Before any renovation or extension work can be affected, the owner must seek an appointment with the Building Inspector or Building Technician for consultation regarding the procedures involved before any renovation or extension plan can be approved.

• Renovation or extension plans have to be forwarded by a licensed architect/ draftsman/engineer appointed by the owner. Owners can obtain the names of architects and draftsmen registered with the Council at the Buildings Department, Information Counter.

• A Standard MPS Plan for renovation and extension that does not involve full-wall enclosure is also obtainable. Only renovations or extensions of the iron grill and open terrace types are permitted. The use of the Standard MPS Plan IS NOT ALLOWED for renovations or extensions that extend to the backyard boundary of the house. This involves the putting-up of kitchen walls, additional bathrooms, rooms or utility rooms that affect the back windows and door.

• Should you wish to fix awnings to your buildings, you can apply to do so by filling in the Permission to Fix Awning Form and the Minor Works Permit as indicated in Para 18 (1) and Para 19 (1) of the Standard / Uniform Buildings By-laws (PBTNS) 1986.
