BUILD-TO-SUIT FACTORY · JOHOR, MALAYSIA

From open land.
To your operating factory.

A factory shaped around your production — from site selection and design to approvals, construction and equipment installation.

THE DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY

See how the factory takes shape.

Prepared vacant industrial land with road access01 / 06 · Land

Stage 01 · Land

Start with the right ground.

Industrial use, title conditions, access and infrastructure determine what can be built.

WHAT HAPPENS

Confirm the production brief, survey the plot and test room for expansion.

WHO IS INVOLVED

Land Office / State Authority for title matters; local authority for planning suitability.

Factory concept design on a drawing tablet02 / 06 · Design

Stage 02 · Design

Design around your production.

Turn machinery layouts into a factory that works: clear span, height, floor loads and logistics.

WHAT HAPPENS

Architects and engineers coordinate the concept, budget, utilities and delivery responsibilities.

WHO IS INVOLVED

Professional consultants lead design; TNB and water / sewerage providers are engaged early.

Illustrative project team reviewing plans near a completed factory03 / 06 · Approvals

Stage 03 · Approvals

Align plans with the authorities.

Coordinate planning permission, building plans and relevant technical submissions before the corresponding works.

WHAT HAPPENS

The PSP / submitting consultants manage submissions through the relevant local authority and OSC.

WHO IS INVOLVED

PBT / OSC; BOMBA, DOE, JPS / JKR and utility agencies as applicable. EIA only where prescribed.

Steel factory structure under construction with cranes04 / 06 · Construction

Stage 04 · Construction

From foundations to factory.

Follow the build through earthworks, foundations, steel structure, roof, envelope and M&E installation.

WHAT HAPPENS

Consultants supervise the works and verify the agreed specifications; utility works progress alongside the build.

WHO IS INVOLVED

Contractor and consultants; local authority and technical agencies at relevant inspection stages.

Completed industrial factory with access roads and utility area05 / 06 · Completion

Stage 05 · Completion

Complete, test and hand over.

Check building systems, fire safety, utilities and the completion documents against the approved scope.

WHAT HAPPENS

The qualified PSP issues CCC after applicable conditions, certifications and clearances are met.

WHO IS INVOLVED

PSP; BOMBA, TNB, water / sewerage and other relevant agencies. CCC is not issued by the council.

Equipment being moved into a factory using a forklift and mobile crane06 / 06 · Equipment

Stage 06 · Equipment

Bring the production line to life.

Coordinate machine delivery, lifting, installation, utility connections, commissioning and trial production.

WHAT HAPPENS

Plan equipment requirements early. Fit-out timing must follow the approved programme and safe access arrangements.

WHO IS INVOLVED

DOSH / JKKP for regulated plant; DOE for applicable environmental requirements; PBT business licensing and MIDA / MITI manufacturing licensing where applicable.

Visual journey using supplied images. Illustrative stages, not a documented single-site project. Planning, utility applications and equipment preparation can overlap; this is not an approval timetable.

PEOPLE & AUTHORITIES

One project. Several coordinated workstreams.

The responsible council and technical agencies depend on the plot, industry and proposed works. Your professional team confirms the submission route.

01 / LAND & PLANNING

Land Office · PBT / OSC

Check title restrictions and industrial use. Coordinate land matters, planning permission and building submissions with the relevant authorities.

02 / FIRE & ENVIRONMENT

BOMBA · DOE / JAS

Coordinate fire-safety review and applicable environmental requirements. Screen environmental obligations early; an EIA is required only for prescribed activities.

03 / INFRASTRUCTURE

TNB · Water · Sewerage

Confirm capacity, connection scope and lead times. Drainage and road authorities are involved where relevant. Start utility planning before construction is complete.

04 / BUILDING COMPLETION

PSP & professional team

The qualified Principal Submitting Person issues CCC once applicable completion requirements are satisfied. Coordinate the necessary technical clearances.

05 / MACHINERY

DOSH / JKKP

Check requirements for regulated plant and machinery before procurement and installation. Equipment type determines the applicable registration, approval and inspection route.

06 / OPERATING READINESS

PBT · MIDA / MITI

Coordinate the relevant local business licence and manufacturing licence or exemption status. Start these checks early; building completion alone does not authorise every manufacturing operation.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Set the brief before setting the programme.

What do you need to start a BTS assessment?

Target location, land and building area, production flow, machine layout, clear height, floor loading, power and water demand, loading access, expansion needs, budget and target operating date.

How long will the project take?

Prepare a project-specific programme after land checks and a concept design. Authority submissions, utility capacity, procurement, construction and commissioning determine the critical path. The six visual stages do not imply fixed durations.

Can a BTS factory be leased?

Potential routes include a long-term lease, purchase on completion or owner-occupied development. The landowner or developer must agree the scope, funding, lease or purchase terms and delivery obligations.

Let’s start with your production plan.

Share your size, power, location and operating timeline. Tom Chiew coordinates the initial site search and commercial discussion with the relevant project partners.
