Licences and registration

Construction firms must register with CIDB under Act 520, and working without registration carries a fine of RM 10,000 to RM 100,000 and a possible stop-work order, according to a CIDB guide. Ask whether the company you hire is registered. If the worker is a non-resident, the employer needs a labour licence, and a labour licence rule took effect on 15 February 2026.

What foreign workers cost on top of wages

A foreign-worker cost guide lists a security bond, EPF and SOCSO contributions among the statutory costs of hiring, so the total cost of a non-resident worker is higher than the wage alone. Ask for a total monthly figure in RM before you agree a rate.

Season and working hours

The climate is hot all year, with a wet and a dry season. Heavy rain stops outdoor work and delays jobs, so agree a rain plan and whether rain days are paid. Plan heavy tasks such as concrete or roof sheeting for the cooler, drier hours of the day.

What to put in your request

State whether you want day work or a monthly role, the duties, the workplace in your city, the schedule, the work experience needed and whether accommodation is provided. Name your city: Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam. Say whether you need a local worker or a non-resident worker with a labour licence.

BlaBlaPrice's AI reads your request, asks for missing details such as duties and schedule, and looks through local sources for wage rates to show what it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offers, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. See bricklayer or construction worker.
