Important Rules & Compliance Standards

• CFO and CCC are distinct certification systems, and the applicable procedure depends on the building's approval history and transitional legal provisions.
• The CCC system was introduced in 2007 under amendments to the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133).
• A CCC is issued by a legally qualified Principal Submitting Person, not by MBMB.
• The PSP must ensure that the building has been completed in accordance with approved building plans and relevant statutory and technical requirements.
• The PSP must ensure that applicable safety, health, and essential services requirements are satisfied before issuing a CCC.
• Form F is used for the Certificate of Completion and Compliance, while Form F1 applies to partial completion where legally permitted.
• Forms G1–G21 provide stage certifications for the relevant construction components and must be completed by the responsible qualified persons as applicable.
• MBMB's official CCC deposition checklist includes Form F/F1, relevant Forms G1–G21, building-related notifications, and supporting technical confirmations.
• Relevant technical confirmations may include fire safety, lifts, water supply, sewerage, and other services depending on the development.
• The PSP must ensure that the necessary technical conditions and clearances have been satisfied before certification.
• A CCC must be deposited with the relevant local authority and professional board in accordance with the applicable statutory procedure.
• Existing CFO documentation may remain relevant for buildings approved under the former system or applicable transitional provisions.
• A building constructed or altered without the required approvals cannot be assumed eligible for CCC merely because it is physically complete.
• Unauthorised extensions, structural changes, or changes of use may require additional building plans, professional assessment, or statutory approvals.
• An existing CCC does not automatically approve subsequent alterations or a different business activity within the premises.
• A CFO or CCC record search does not constitute a structural safety inspection or professional certification.
• Only appropriately qualified and authorised professionals may sign or certify documents reserved for their profession.
• False declarations, incomplete stage certifications, or improper certification may result in statutory and professional disciplinary consequences.
• MBMB retains building control and enforcement powers notwithstanding the PSP's responsibility for CCC issuance.
• Application and deposition requirements must follow the current MBMB OSC checklist and relevant statutory procedures.
• The service provider cannot guarantee CCC issuance, acceptance of incomplete documents, or retrospective approval of unauthorised building works.
  

Compound & Legal Penalties

• Occupying or permitting occupation of a building without the legally required completion certification may constitute an offence under the applicable building legislation.
• Construction or alteration of a building without the required written approval may result in enforcement action under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133).
• MBMB may issue notices requiring unauthorised works to be stopped, corrected, altered, removed, or otherwise addressed in accordance with the law.
• Failure to comply with a lawful building enforcement notice may result in prosecution or further statutory action.
• Under Section 70 of Act 133, certain unauthorised building works and related contraventions may attract substantial fines, imprisonment, or both, depending on the specific subsection and offence.
• Unauthorised building works may also be subject to statutory additional charges or other consequences where applicable.
• Improper issuance of a CCC or false professional certification may expose the responsible PSP or other persons to criminal and professional disciplinary action.
• Where a building presents a danger to occupants or the public, MBMB may exercise applicable powers relating to dangerous buildings and public safety.
• Non-compliance with fire safety, structural, mechanical, electrical, sanitation, or other technical requirements may trigger separate action by the relevant regulatory agency.
• A business may experience delays or rejection of licensing applications where required building documents or approvals are missing.
• Occupation of a building for a use different from the approved purpose may require additional planning or building approval and may expose the operator to enforcement action.
• Outstanding technical defects or missing stage certifications may prevent the responsible PSP from lawfully issuing a CCC.
• The precise compound amount, fine, imprisonment term, and other consequences depend on the applicable legal provision and proven offence.
• This service does not guarantee cancellation of enforcement notices, waiver of penalties, legalisation of unauthorised works, or issuance of a CFO/CCC.
