BEFORE YOU RENT, CHECK FIRST.

A good location, reasonable rental and suitable floor area don't necessarily mean a business premise is ready for your use.

One common issue we encounter is office floors being subdivided into smaller tenanted units without proper consideration of building and fire-safety requirements.

These subdivisions may create dead-end situations or other compliance issues. Even if your own unit appears compliant, problems in another unit on the same floor could affect your BOMBA approval.

That's why checking the building's approval status and approved layout is important before signing your tenancy agreement.

Check first. Sign later.
Discover compliance issues before they become costly problems.

Interior-Only Renovation Still Requires Approval 📌

Many business owners assume "no structural work" means "no submission." But even new partition walls may affect fire escape, occupancy, accessibility, fire separation and other building requirements.

Under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133), alterations to any part of a building require prior written permission from the local authority.

Without the necessary approval, the renewal of your business premise licence may also be affected in future, depending on the local council's requirements.

SUBMISSION REJECTED? KNOW THE REASONS BEHIND IT.

Was your authority submission really rejected?

Actually, it’s quite rare for a submission to be outright rejected.

More commonly, you may receive a comment letter or conditional approval from the authority.

This may happen because:
✓ Drawings or documents are incomplete
✓ Certain requirements have not been complied with
✓ The authority requires further clarification

In Malaysia, it is quite normal for a submission to receive comments before final approval.

What’s more important is how quickly and correctly those comments are addressed.

That’s why having the right qualified submitting person, such as an Architect, is important — to understand the requirements, communicate with the authority and respond to the comments properly.

Getting comments is normal. Knowing how to resolve them is what matters.

RENOVATE FIRST, LEGALISE LATER?

When approval takes time and your opening date is getting closer, starting the renovation first may seem like a practical shortcut.

But carrying out renovation works without the required approval may lead to bigger problems later.

If the completed works do not comply, legalisation may involve more than submitting paperwork. You could be looking at:

⚠️ Risk of fines
🔨 Physical alterations or rectification works
💰 Additional professional and construction costs
⏳ Further delays and disruption to your business

Don’t treat legalisation as a shortcut.

It is always easier to resolve compliance on paper before you build it on site.

DON’T DELAY YOUR OPENING — PLAN APPROVALS AHEAD

Planning your business opening based only on the renovation timeline can be a costly mistake.

Before construction begins, make sure you understand:

✓ Whether your proposed business use is suitable for the premises
✓ What approvals are required — Local Authority, BOMBA or other technical agencies
✓ How long the approval process may take

These timelines should be planned together with your renovation programme, not considered only after construction has started.

Opening on time isn’t just about completing the renovation on time. It’s also about planning your compliance and approvals early.

BOMBA APPROVAL FOR BUSINESS PREMISE RENOVATION

Planning to renovate your office, shop, factory or warehouse?

Fire safety requirements should be considered from the beginning, as even simple renovation works can affect your building’s fire safety compliance.

Depending on your renovation scope, you may need:

Passive Fire Approval
• Escape routes & travel distance
• Fire-rated walls and doors
• Fire compartmentation
• Changes to internal layout

Active Fire Approval
• Sprinkler systems
• Hose reels
• Fire alarm systems
• Other fire protection systems

Understanding these requirements early allows your designer and consultants to incorporate them into the design — reducing the risk of redesign, delays and additional costs later.

Plan for fire safety from the beginning, not after the design is completed.

ALREADY HAVE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER? WHY DO YOU NEED AN ARCHITECT?

An interior designer and an architect may be involved in the same renovation, but their roles are different and they complement each other.

Your interior designer focuses on creating the environment and experience you want for your business premises.

The architect looks at the proposed renovation from a building compliance and regulatory perspective including fire safety, means of escape, accessibility, building use and authority requirements.

A well-designed space is important. But for a business premises, it is equally important to make sure that what you plan to build meets the necessary requirements for you to operate there.

Good design and proper compliance should work together from the beginning.

CAN A RUNNER HANDLE YOUR AUTHORITY SUBMISSION?

A runner can be helpful in managing the administrative side of an authority submission — submitting documents, following up with the authority and checking the application status.

But there is an important distinction.

A runner is not necessarily the qualified professional responsible for the submission.

Depending on the nature of the works, building plans and authority submissions need to be properly prepared, checked and submitted by the appropriate qualified professional.

So when someone says, “My runner can settle everything,” ask one more question:

Who is the qualified professional behind the submission?

Because you don’t just need someone who knows where to submit the drawings. You need someone who knows whether the drawings comply in the first place.

WHO SHOULD HANDLE YOUR AUTHORITY SUBMISSION?

Your contractor and designer play important roles in your renovation, but authority submission is a different professional responsibility.

It requires proper knowledge of building regulations, fire safety requirements and the authority submission process.

Your contractor or designer may coordinate the submission for you, but make sure the right qualified professional is engaged to handle and take responsibility for it.

Choosing someone simply because it is convenient or cheaper may save you money upfront, but mistakes can lead to delays, rectification works and much higher costs later.

Find the right person. Avoid costly mistakes.

BEFORE YOU RENOVATE, KNOW YOUR APPROVALS

Planning to renovate your business premises? Don’t assume there’s only one approval you need.

Depending on your premises and the renovation works involved, you may need Building Plan or Temporary Permit Approval, BOMBA approval for Passive and/or Active Fire systems, as well as approvals from other relevant technical agencies or licensing departments.

Knowing what approvals are required from the start helps you plan your renovation timeline properly and avoid unnecessary delays.

Before you renovate, know your approvals.
