MCST Approval Requirements
Most management offices will require:
- MCST permit application forms.
- Contractor documents and insurance details.
- Installation method statements.
- Refundable deposits for renovation works (where applicable).
Approval timelines vary between developments and typically take a few working days to two weeks.
Common Condo Installation Rules
Before installation, homeowners should consider:
- Outdoor condensers must be installed at approved locations.
- Noisy works are usually restricted to specific hours.
- Service lifts and corridor protection may require prior booking.
- Proper drainage systems must be used to prevent water leakage issues.
- Any modifications involving common property generally require approval.
Following condo by-laws helps ensure a smooth installation process without disruption.
Aircon Replacement vs New Installation
Like-for-like replacements are usually simpler and may require minimal documentation. New installations involving additional piping, condenser relocation, or wall modifications often require further approval and inspections from the management office.
A professional site survey can help determine which approval process applies to your project.
