Building a House in Selangor: Permits, CCC and Real Timeline
From an empty plot to a Certificate of Completion and Compliance. The actual sequence, the actual time, the actual people involved.
Building from scratch in Selangor is normal work, but the approvals process trips up first-timers. Here's the path from a plot of land to a Certificate of Completion and Compliance, and who does what.
Approvals you'll need
- Planning permission (Kebenaran Merancang) from the local council
- Building plan approval (Pelan Bangunan)
- Earthworks or structural submissions where required
- CCC at completion, issued via the submitting architect or engineer
Who's involved
A submitting professional (architect or qualified draughtsperson), a structural engineer, the local authority (PBT), and your builder. In a design and build setup, one team coordinates all of them so you aren't chasing five parties yourself.
Realistic timeline
- Design and approvals: 2 to 4 months
- Construction: 4 to 9 months for single to double storey
- Finishing, CCC and handover: 1 to 2 months
Anyone telling you a from-scratch house in 4 months is lying or skipping approvals. Our design and build packages bake submissions and site supervision in, so the permit maze becomes our job.
Our design-and-build team is based in Shah Alam, serving the whole Klang Valley.
