Frequently Asked Question
CFO (Certificate of Fitness for Occupation) is a building occupation certificate issued under the former local authority certification system. CCC (Certificate of Completion and Compliance) is issued by an eligible Principal Submitting Person (PSP) under the applicable building completion and compliance framework.
No. CCC is issued by the eligible PSP responsible for the relevant building project. MBAS performs its statutory building control functions and handles the applicable building approval and regulatory procedures.
A lawfully issued CFO is not automatically invalid merely because the CCC system was introduced. Its applicability depends on the building's approval history, existing conditions and subsequent alterations or changes of use.
CFO/CCC documentation may be requested to verify the building's approved occupation or completion status for business licensing, property transactions, tenancy, financing or other regulatory purposes.
Documents may include property ownership or tenancy records, approved building plans, existing CFO/CCC copies, property identification details, authorisation letters, company information and relevant technical or approval documents. The specific requirements depend on the type of enquiry or application.
You may request a record search or document verification through the appropriate source. Availability depends on MBAS's historical records, the original PSP or developer and applicable access procedures. Retrieval cannot be guaranteed.
