PBG (Building Approval/Permit)

The PBG (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung) or Building Planning Approval is a mandatory approval for any construction, renovation, expansion, or functional modification of a building in Indonesia.The process ensures that the planned building complies with zoning regulations, structural safety standards, environmental requirements, and national building codes. Our service supports clients in organizing technical drawings, managing administrative documents, and liaising with government systems and officers throughout the review stages. While the government holds full authority over verification timelines and results, we manage the entire preparation and submission process to ensure compliance and procedural accuracy.Key Characteristics & RequirementsMandatory approval for all building activities, including new construction, renovation, extension, and change of function.Requires technical documents such as Architectural, Structural, and MEP drawings prepared by certified professionals.Assessment covers structural safety, fire safety, environmental provisions, accessibility, and functionality compliance.Must be submitted through the official government platform (SIMBG) along with complete land and applicant documents.CoverageCovered: Document preparation, application submission, and coordination until PBG issuance.Not Covered: Architectural design drafting, field surveys, and re-inspection fees imposed by authorities.Exclusions:The above price excludes land tax (PBB) and any informal contributions (e.g., Satpol PP or similar).The above price does not include official government retribution fees.Please note that, in accordance with regulations, additional requirements may apply, including:Minimum 1 tree per 100 m² of land areaPDAM (water utility connection)ABT registration (groundwater usage permit, if applicable)NIDI (Nomor Identitas Instalasi Tenaga Listrik) – registration and issuance of a unique identification number for the building’s electrical installationSLO (Sertifikat Laik Operasi) – certification confirming that the electrical installation is safe, compliant, and approved for operationFire extinguisher (APAR) provision in accordance with safety standardsInstallation of building signageNPWPD AT registration (local tax registration, if applicable)Environmental documents (UKL-UPL) are not included and will be quoted separately if required by the authorities.If there is a significant discrepancy between the proposed building size and the actual on-site construction, an addendum to this quotation will be issued.The SLF (Sertifikat Laik Fungsi) process is estimated to take approximately 5–7 months after construction completion.Payment Terms:First Payment (30%) – Upon signing of the contractSecond Payment (40%) – Upon submission registration and scheduling of the government site visitFinal Payment (30%) – Upon issuance of the PBG publication minutesTimeline OptionStandard Timeline (Normal Processing)PKKPR Validation: 1 – 1.5 monthsInitial Technical Drawing Verification: 2 – 3 weeksPUPR Expert Team Review: 1 – 1.5 monthsHearing Scheduling & Session: 1 – 1.5 monthsRevision & Re-verification (PUPR Expert Team): 1 monthLevy Payment & PBG Issuance: 2 weeksEstimated Total Duration: 5 – 7 monthsExpedited Timeline (Acceleration Processing)PKKPR Validation: 1 – 2 weeks (requires an additional fee of IDR 5,000,000)Joint Technical Drawing & Expert Team Verification: 2 weeksHearing Scheduling & Session: 2 weeksRevision & Re-verification (PUPR Expert Team): 1 – 1.5 monthsLevy Payment & PBG Issuance: 2 weeks.Estimated Total Duration: 3 – 3.5 monthsNote: Please be advised that further additional fees may incur to maintain this expedited schedule.All estimated timelines above are subject to public holidays and official government holidays as determined by the GovernmentImportant NotesAll required documents must be submitted to the consultant before the SLF process can commence.All as-built testing, surveys, investigations, analyses, data revisions, and as-built drawings will be carried out by certified consultants and subsequently reviewed by the relevant government authorities. The methods and standards applied in these assessments are determined exclusively by the government.The estimated completion time for the entire process is 20 to 24 weeks (approximately 5 to 6 months). Upon receipt of the initial payment, the construction process will reach approximately 90% completion. Thereafter, the project finalization will depend on the schedule of government inspections and evaluations, as officially announced.The issuance of the SKRD (Regional Levy Decree) by the government marks the point at which the consultant’s work is deemed 100% complete. The client is then required to settle the official levy payment prior to the issuance of the PBG by the government.The service price may be subject to adjustment if, following site visits and surveys, any discrepancies are found between the client’s initial data and actual on-site conditions — such as differences in building dimensions, layout, or technical drawings. The pricing and scope of work outlined herein represent the standard requirements for SLF (Sertifikat Laik Fungsi) processing. Should there be changes introduced by the government or scope variations beyond our control, these will be reviewed and discussed accordingly.Any additional work or costs not covered in the attached scope of services will be addressed through a separate quotation. In the absence of mutual agreement that halts the PBG–SLF process, such cases will be considered cancellations, and applicable charges will remain in force as stipulated in the service agreement. Please note that unilateral termination of the project by the client during the work in progress does not entitle the client to a refund.The consultant shall remain responsible for the completion of the work, provided that the client is available for consultation and document coordination throughout the process. Each project may require different supporting documents, as the requirements are determined by the respective local government and regulated under national guidelines.Further details, if necessary, may be formalized in a separate agreement.
