For example, suppose a company plans to construct a new shopping mall in a commercial district of a city in Malaysia. They need to submit a building permit application to the local municipal authority, providing the mall's design drawings, construction plans, and relevant documents. The building management agency will review the design, ensuring that the construction of the mall complies with building regulations and safety standards. Once the design drawings pass the review, the building management agency will issue the building permit, allowing the company to commence the construction of the mall. During the construction process, the building management agency may conduct site inspections to ensure quality and safety. Ultimately, when the construction of the mall is completed and passes the completion inspection, the building permit will officially come into effect, and the company can formally open the mall.

In summary, obtaining a building permit is an important step in undertaking construction or renovation projects, ensuring compliance with regulations, safety, sustainability, and environmental standards. By adhering to relevant regulations and standards, individuals or businesses holding a building permit can protect their interests and ensure the smooth progress and successful completion of the project.
