Other technical agencies, such as Bomba, JKR and JPS, may review relevant parts of a project. Submissions are usually made through the One Stop Centre (OSC).
Structural plans submitted to a local authority in Malaysia must be endorsed by a Professional Engineer with a Practising Certificate (PEPC) in the relevant discipline. MASREKA CS prepares the civil and structural documents and advises how they fit into the overall submission.

Common Questions
Do You Help with Authority Submission?
Yes. MASREKA CS prepares the engineering drawings, calculations, technical reports and written responses needed for authority submission and project review, and supports clients through review comments until the engineering documentation is ready for approval.
Which Authorities Review Civil and Structural Submissions in Johor?
In the areas MASREKA CS serves, the local planning and building authorities typically include Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (MBJB), Majlis Bandaraya Iskandar Puteri (MBIP) and Majlis Bandaraya Pasir Gudang (MBPG, formerly known as MPPG). Other technical agencies may also review the relevant parts of a project, such as the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (Bomba) for fire-safety matters, the Public Works Department (JKR) where government or public infrastructure is involved, and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS) for drainage and stormwater. The exact list depends on the site location, development type and current local requirements.
What Is Needed for Renovation or Extension Approval?
If the work changes the building structure, floor area, roof, foundations or building footprint, local authorities in Johor generally require plan approval before construction. Submissions are usually made through the One Stop Centre (OSC) and typically include architectural plans by a qualified principal submitting person, structural drawings and calculations endorsed by a PEPC, and other reports the council may request. Cosmetic interior work that does not affect the structure may follow a simpler or different process, but this varies by council and should be confirmed with the relevant authority. MASREKA CS can prepare the civil and structural documents and advise how they fit into the overall submission. Fees depend on the project scope; contact the firm for a quotation.
How Long Do Authority Approvals Usually Take?
Processing times vary by local authority, the type of application, the completeness of the submission and whether review comments need to be answered. Under Malaysia's One Stop Centre (OSC) framework, some councils publish target processing periods for building-plan applications, but actual time can be shorter or longer than those targets. It is best to confirm the current timeline with the relevant council for your site, such as MBJB, MBIP or MBPG. MASREKA CS cannot control the authority's review period, but it prepares complete engineering documents and replies promptly to comments so the submission is not delayed on the consultant's side.
