CIRCULAR NO. 004
SUPERVISION OF CONSTRUCTION WORKS
In exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph 4(1)(f) of the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 [Act
138], the Board of Engineers Malaysia hereby determines the following:
1. Street Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133) requires plans pertaining to engineering works
to be submitted by qualified person. The ‘qualified person’ means any Professional Engineer with
Practising Certificate registered under Section 8 of the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 in the
appropriate engineering discipline.
2. Act 133 only allows qualified person to supervise and certify completion of construction of
engineering aspects of building works. No erection or continuation of erection of building works
shall take place unless that qualified person or any person duly authorised by him undertakes the
supervision of the works. This means that the submitting person shall supervise the construction
works.
3. A submitting person shall not certify completion of construction works unless he or any person
duly authorised by him has carried out supervision. Where another engineer takes over the works
of the previous engineer, he shall ensure all works are done properly before certifying completion
of construction.
