we'll need another financial crisis like 97/98 to get condo prices below 200psf

vincemy,

load baring wall means precast RC wall? if so, it'll be quite difficult for us to add additional points later, not to mention the difficulties in renovation

Went to the site this morning as well. It was rather unusual that the developer has opted for RC wall as fence. Good for us buyers.

its because of lousy execution by developer. for a simple building like this, it should not take more than 24 months to complete it

Being a contractor myself, I think 36 months is a reasonable period for construction of this scale. It's 1120 units, in contrast to the usual 300 to 400 units in other developments.

The walls appear thin due to optical illusion.  I actually did measure the thickness of the wall a couple of weeks ago and it is 13 cm (or about 5.1 in) thick. Between brick and mortar wall or reinforced concrete wall of the same thickness, I would prefer the latter anytime for durability. Cheers.

vincemy, did u measure the internal partition wall (usually 4.5inch) or the inter-unit fire rated wall (usually 9inch)? If 5.1inch is for firewall, dont u think it's a bit thin? Fire rating might be a pass but soundproof could be a problem.

Really bad news for purchasers. Potential delay to construction
