How It Works: Fit-Out License Process
Phase 1: Business Registration & Classification
Register your fit-out company with DED and determine appropriate municipality classification (finish contractor, renovation contractor, etc.). Classification determines eligible project scope and technical requirements.
Phase 2: Technical Team Documentation
Compile certifications for technical supervisors, site managers, and quality control personnel. Fit-out contractors require qualified personnel capable of executing finishing works to specification.
Phase 3: Safety Management Plan
Develop comprehensive safety procedures aligned with DOSH standards. Safety documentation is critical for municipality approval and project safety compliance.
Phase 4: Municipality Licensing Application
Submit licensing application with complete technical and safety documentation. Municipality review and approval enables legal project execution.
