An SLF is generally required in situations such as:
- A newly completed building that is about to be put into use
- An existing building that does not yet have an SLF
- A building whose SLF needs to be renewed
- A building that has undergone a change of function, an extension, or renovation
- Factories, warehouses, offices, shophouses, hotels, schools, and other public buildings that require legal approval to operate
The worthiness inspection covers various aspects of the building, including:
- Safety: structural strength, fire protection, lightning protection, and evacuation systems
- Health: ventilation, lighting, sanitation, and clean water
- Comfort: comfort of the spaces and the environment within the building
- Accessibility: accessibility and facilities for all users, including people with disabilities
- Building conformity: conformity of on-site conditions with the PBG and as-built drawings
We accompany you from the initial inspection until the SLF is issued. Where required, investigation survey and structural audit results from our team can be used as supporting data for structural worthiness.
Scope of Work & Work Stages
- Consultation & Building Status ReviewWe check the building's permit status (PBG or IMB), building function, completeness of as-built drawings, and what is needed to obtain the SLF.
- Data & Document CollectionWe help collect and compile the required documents, such as land and building ownership records, the PBG or IMB, as-built drawings, and other supporting documents in accordance with local regulations.
- On-Site Worthiness InspectionOur engineering team inspects the building's condition in terms of safety, health, comfort, and accessibility, as well as its conformity with the PBG and as-built drawings.
- Supporting Technical Testing & AssessmentWhere required, structural testing or audits and inspections of other supporting systems are carried out to confirm the building's worthiness.
- Worthiness Document PreparationInspection and assessment results are compiled into a technical assessment document and other materials required for the SLF application.
- Registration & Submission via SIMBGWe assist with account creation, data entry, and uploading the SLF application documents in the SIMBG system.
- Inspection Process AssistanceWe accompany you through the inspection by the assessment team and help follow up on any comments or missing documents.
- SLF Issuance & HandoverOnce the SLF is issued, it is handed over to you along with an archive of the application documents.
