Planning to set up a factory, rent an industrial property, or operate a warehouse in Malaysia? Donโt focus only on rental rates and location! Here are 5 hidden pitfalls that could cost you hundreds of thousands of ringgit. ๐

The landlord says the property has a CCC (Certificate of Completion and Compliance), so everything is fine? Not necessarily!
If a previous tenant made unauthorized additions, such as a mezzanine floor or awning, the existing approval may no longer cover the altered structure.
โ ๏ธ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ
Insurance claim complications, possible fines, and costly rectification works.

Think you can simply apply for a 1,000 Amp power supply? Not always!
If the local electricity network lacks sufficient capacity, you may need to fund additional electrical infrastructure or a dedicated substation, potentially costing hundreds of thousands of ringgit.
๐ก ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ
Check the existing power supply capacity, TNB application history, outstanding electricity charges, and the feasibility and cost of upgrading the supply before signing the tenancy agreement.

Some surprisingly cheap industrial properties may be built on Agricultural Land.
โ The land use or building status may not support your intended manufacturing activities.
โ You may face difficulties obtaining the required manufacturing licences or industry-specific certifications, including Halal or SIRIM certification where applicable.
โ Non-compliant land use or unauthorised buildings may lead to enforcement action and costly rectification.
Always verify the land title, permitted land use, zoning, and relevant approvals before committing!

Thinking of saving money by allowing foreign workers to sleep inside your factory or warehouse?
Malaysiaโs Workersโ Minimum Standards of Housing and Amenities Act 1990 (๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐) imposes requirements on workersโ accommodation.
โ ๏ธ Using industrial premises as living quarters without the necessary approvals and compliance may expose employers to enforcement action, fines, or prosecution.
๐ก ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ
Verify the accommodation requirements and obtain the necessary approvals before arranging workersโ housing.

Planning to install high warehouse racking systems?
The higher your storage racks, the more important it is to assess fire protection requirements.
Depending on the building design, storage height, commodities, and applicable fire safety standards, additional sprinkler protection, including in-rack sprinklers, may be required.
โ ๏ธ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ
Unexpected renovation costs, delays in approvals, and additional compliance expenses.

Consult a qualified fire protection professional and verify the requirements with the relevant Fire and Rescue Department (BOMBA) before finalising your warehouse layout.
