Question 1

What is the difference between a detached, semi-D, and cluster factory?

Accepted Answer

A detached factory stands alone on its own land title with no shared walls — maximum operational flexibility. A semi-detached (semi-D) factory shares one party wall with an adjacent unit. A cluster factory is part of a group of 4–8 units sharing a common access road and sometimes utilities infrastructure. Each type has different price points and use-case fit.

Question 2

How do I verify the power supply before renting a factory?

Accepted Answer

Ask the agent or owner for the TNB account statement showing the tariff category and maximum demand. For vacant units, ask for the incoming supply rating from the sub-station. If in doubt, engage a licensed electrical contractor (wireman) to assess the incoming supply and advise on upgrade feasibility before signing.

Question 3

What government licences do I need to operate a factory in Petaling Jaya?

Accepted Answer

You'll need a business registration (SSM), a local authority business licence (Lesen Perniagaan), and depending on your industry, approvals from MIDA (manufacturing licence for RM 2.5M+ capital investment), DOSH (for hazardous machinery or processes), and DOE (for scheduled waste generators). Our agents can advise on the relevant authority for your specific activity.
