Renovation Contractor
in Putra Heights

Local facts last reviewed 29 September 2026. Sources are listed at the end of the page.

Putra Heights has been developed since 1999 at the southern edge of the Subang Jaya City Council area, combining link houses, semi-detached houses and bungalows with condominiums and service apartments, in neighbourhoods such as The Glades and around Putra Heights Sentral. The Putra Heights LRT station is the interchange between the Kelana Jaya and Sri Petaling Lines.

The earliest link houses are now twenty-five years old, which is when owners replace original roofs and gutters, add awnings over the yard and redo the fence line. MBSJ covers those jobs with a dedicated form, set out below.

Putra Heights at a glance

MBSJ’s standard-plan permit for homes

MBSJ’s “Permit Pelan Setara Rumah Kediaman” (issued under by-law 18 of the Uniform Building By-Laws 1984) offers four standard plans: No. 1, a brick fence; No. 2, an awning; No. 3, a second (safety) staircase; No. 4, replacing the roof. The form is signed by an architect, engineer or registered draughtsman, and it asks for the contractor’s company (SSM) registration number.

The documents: a copy of the title or sale and purchase agreement; the latest assessment bill and receipt (if the owner’s name differs, it must first be updated with MBSJ’s valuation department using Form I or J); the Certificate of Fitness or CCC where relevant; a statutory declaration; three sets of coloured A3 plans; and a site report with photos in MBSJ’s format. For roof replacement only, a RORO bin contractor form and receipt are also needed.

The fees on the form: RM100 per plan for plans 1 to 3, RM500 for roof replacement, RM100 for the permit to place building materials (brick fences only), and a RM250 construction-waste deposit. Anything outside those four standard plans — a new room, an extra floor — goes through MBSJ’s building-plan route instead.

Link houses, semi-Ds and condos

Link houses. The largest share of Putra Heights housing. Typical jobs: an awning over the back yard or car porch (plan No. 2), a brick fence to replace the original (No. 1), and re-roofing when tiles and valleys have aged (No. 4). Twenty-five-year-old wet areas are also due attention; bathroom work is internal and is not one of the four standard plans.

Semi-Ds and bungalows. Bigger roofs and longer gutter runs make roof replacement a bigger job, which is why the roof plan carries the highest fee and the RORO requirement.

Condominiums and service apartments near Putra Heights Sentral: interior work within the management corporation’s rules.

One point to settle before choosing a standard plan: it only works if what stands on site matches the approved drawings. Link houses of this age often already carry an owner-built rear roof or yard cover, and a new awning or fence application is the moment to find out whether that earlier work was approved, because the site report and photos in MBSJ’s format will show it. Where it was not, the consultant can advise whether to regularise it through the building-plan route first.

Repairing homes after the April 2025 pipeline fire

On 1 April 2025 a gas pipeline fire broke out in Putra Heights from 8.10am and was extinguished by 3.45pm; Malay Mail reported that 88 housing and shop units suffered damage ranging from 10% to 90%. On 4 April the Selangor Menteri Besar said the CCC did not need to be reissued because the 85 houses cleared for re-entry had been declared fit, and that TNB clearance was enough for residents to return and start repairs. By December 2025, 18 families in Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru had returned to homes repaired and rebuilt by SPNB, while rebuilding in Putra Harmoni was held up by pending court cases; the housing minister said Sime Darby had been appointed master developer there to speed up the work.

For owners repairing heat- or smoke-damaged homes, the order of work matters: electrical clearance first, then a structural check of slabs, beams and roof timbers, and only then new finishes. Roof replacement on a damaged house can use MBSJ’s standard roof plan if the structure below is sound. Soot and smoke residue also travel further than the visible damage: ceiling voids, aircon ducting and the backs of built-in cabinets are worth opening and cleaning before repainting, or the smell tends to return in humid weather.
