In Indonesia, construction projects are governed by specific regulations to ensure buildings are safe, functional, and adhere to technical standards. One of the essential permits required for such projects is the Building Approval, known as PBG (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung). This approval process is mandated by Government Regulation Number 16 of 2021, implementing the provisions of Law Number 28 of 2002 concerning Buildings.
What is a Building According to the Regulation?
The regulation defines a Building as a physical structure resulting from construction work, integrated with its location, and can be situated above and/or below ground or water. Buildings serve as places where humans conduct various activities, including residential, religious, business, social, cultural, or other special activities.
Criteria for Buildings
Buildings are categorised based on their function and classification:
- Function of the Building: Determined by technical standards, including aspects of building layout and environmental compatibility. Functions can include:
- Residential
- Religious
- Business
- Social and Cultural
- Special Functions
- Mixed-use
- Classification of the Building: Buildings are further classified based on several criteria:
- Complexity: Simple, non-simple, and special buildings.
- Permanence: Permanent and non-permanent structures.
- Fire Risk: High, medium, and low-risk buildings.
- Density: Dense, medium, and sparse occupancy levels.
- Height: Skyscrapers, high, medium, and low buildings.
- Ownership: State-owned and non-state-owned buildings.
- Building Classes: There are 10 distinct building classes outlined in the regulation.
What is PBG?
There are three essential stages during the PBG application each requiring specific documentation to meet the necessary licensing administrative requirements. These stages are PBG, SLF, and SBKBG.
PBG - Building Planning Approval (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung)
The PBG, or Building Planning Approval, has replaced the IMB (Building Permit) since February 23, 2021. This permit, issued by the government to building owners or their representatives, authorises the commencement of construction, renovation, or planned changes to a building. What's unique about PBG is its lifetime validity, making it a valuable document for the entirety of the building's existence.
SLF - Functional Eligibility Certificate (Sertifikat Laik Fungsi)
The SLF, or Functional Eligibility Certificate, is issued by local government authorities, signalling that a building is functional and ready for use. To secure an SLF, technical reviewers from the local government examine compliance and standards outlined in the PBG documentation during various stages of construction. Once obtained, the SLF empowers the building's owner and users to utilise the structure. Residential buildings enjoy a 20-year validity, while other building types require renewal every 5 years.
SBKBG - Certificate of Building Ownership (Surat Bukti Kepemilikan Bangunan Gedung)
The SBKBG, or Certificate of Building Ownership, serves as crucial proof of ownership for a building. It fulfils multiple functions:
- Hak Milik : SBKBG menjamin hak kepemilikan atas bangunan gedung.
- Kepatuhan Hukum: Ini memverifikasi bahwa bangunan tersebut mematuhi standar teknis yang ditentukan oleh undang-undang dan peraturan.
Penerbitan SBKBG terjadi bersamaan dengan SLF sehingga memperlancar proses administrasi.
Menavigasi ketiga tahap ini dan mendapatkan dokumentasi yang diperlukan sangat penting untuk kelancaran proses konstruksi atau modifikasi bangunan di Indonesia. Memahami peran PBG, SLF, dan SBKBG sangat penting untuk memastikan kepatuhan terhadap peraturan setempat dan keberhasilan realisasi proyek konstruksi Anda.
