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

The N.28 Seri Kembangan state seat counted 130,252 residents in Census 2020. Its named neighbourhoods include Taman Serdang Raya, Bukit Serdang, Taman Equine and Bandar Putra Permai, and the Serdang Jaya station on the MRT Putrajaya Line now links the township directly to the city. Local government is Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ).

A township that began as a New Village tends to have the widest spread of building ages in one place: original village houses that have been rebuilt in stages, terrace rows from later decades, typically shophouse blocks along the main roads, and condominium towers on the edges. We price each of those very differently.

Seri Kembangan summary

MBSJ’s shop-lot form and what it costs

MBSJ’s pelan setara form for commercial lots (revised July 2025) applies to shop offices, shophouses and terrace factories, and covers six items: internal partition walls, openings through a party wall, awnings, ramps, drain covers and a second staircase. The consultant signs as the submitting person, and the pack includes the sale-and-purchase agreement (or the tenancy agreement if you rent), the latest assessment receipt, colour photos of the front, back, sides and interior, five sets of A3 sketch plans, and the business’s SSM certificate.

The fee table is specific. Partitions cost RM10 per 9 square metres of floor area (minimum RM100); a party-wall opening costs RM200 for every 3m (10ft) of opening; there is an annual permit of RM100 per lot and RM100 per standard plan. Drain covers are RM100 per 10ft length, ramps RM100 per 8ft width, awnings RM200 per 10ft length and a second staircase RM500. Partitions and party-wall openings that were already built before applying pay the processing charge twice.

Two conditions catch tenants out. A tenant needs the owner’s signed consent (and a strata building needs the JMB or MC’s), and anyone building a ramp or drain cover declares that they will maintain and clean the drain at their own cost and remove the structure and restore the drain if it is no longer needed. Premises being turned into a budget hotel, tuition centre, hostel or kindergarten also need the planning approval for that change of use.

For homes, the route is MBSJ’s ordinary minor-works permit for finishes, fittings and similar items, and a building plan for anything that adds floor area.

Village houses, terraces and towers

Houses in the older village streets have typically been extended or partly rebuilt over several decades. Before adding to one, it is worth confirming what the council has on record, because MBSJ assesses a new application against the approved plans, not against what stands on site.

Terrace and semi-detached estates are usually on their second round of renovation: kitchens moved or enlarged, bathrooms rebuilt, and grilles and gates replaced.

Condominiums on the township’s edges follow strata rules first: the JMB’s consent before the council permit, and management’s own working hours and deposits.

Shophouses with living quarters upstairs sit between the two: the shop floor falls under the commercial form above, while the upstairs home is usually a bathroom, kitchen and waterproofing job.

Drains, ramps and wet floors on commercial streets

Drain covers and car ramps in front of shop lots are common in older commercial streets, and MBSJ’s form puts the upkeep of the drain beneath them on the lot owner. If you are installing one, choose a removable cover so the drain can be cleaned; a blocked drain under a fixed slab is the sort of problem that turns into a flooded shop floor in heavy rain.

Upper floors of older shophouses are where we see most leaks: flat roofs, parapet walls and bathrooms added above the shop. Fixing the source properly means stripping to the membrane, not painting over stains on the ceiling below.

For homes, the busiest season for leaks is the heavy afternoon rain. Flat roofs over kitchen extensions and the joints where a porch roof meets the front wall are the first places we check.
