Guocoland  does not understand there is HUGE different in building a HOUSE and a HOME. From the way they replied, you can feel they are "cold-blooded". To them, they just build houses and make as much money as possible. The rest is your own "pasar'. What a shame !!

The buyers are looking for a HOME. They have invested their hard earned money into this developer. To some of them , this may be the only property they will ever buy.  The developers have the social and moral responsibilities to deliver the best they could. It is not just a sales & purchase contract of a property It is also a social contract.

What makes DPC great is the developer has the heart to make everything the best. They paid great attention to even the smallest detail. As an example, they allow outsiders to bring their dogs around the lake. They erected many stations around the lake , providing free plastic bags to be used to pick up the poo-poo. ( dog's shit).

I am 100% with you. This is outright deceiving. This is the most stupid and pathetic answer I have ever heard. So they are saying that they can give you a house without toilet... because everything in the brochure is subject to change.

Anyway, there are ways for you to voice unhappiness.

Make sure you keep an original brochure as proof. If you have any other publication / announcement, keep them. Gather a group of owners and send a new petition. Before this, do some home work and consult a lawyer. I am not a lawyer but I believe you have a very strong case.  Guocoland has to show prove that they have indeed submitted the original design ( as per the brochure) for approval. They have show prove that the authority reject this design and that is why they have to come out with the alternate design. They have to show proof why the original design has to be changed and so on... you can demand answers ...sometime you need to play hard-ball.

If they still give you that stupid answer, then you file complaint to the housing tribunal. You need a big group of people .. the more the merrier. You can do this even after the VP. This is because there is some 5% ( if I am not mistaken) retain with the lawyer. The money can only be released to the developer after you sign the final acceptance.  So if you can gather a big group of people...5% is a lot of money to the developer.

But I do hope the developer can redo the window and make it better looking.  It is good for their reputation ..after all, it is loose change for them only...make RM 9 million profit last quarter 2012.

At least something like this Guocoland!

It wouldn't cost too much to build the nicer looking guardhouse.
I really don't understand Guocoland.
They are willing to have their name smeared just because they want to save a couple thousand of $ on Coral's guardhouse.
I guess for them the few thousand ringgit is more important than their reputation

Now come to think about it, how i wish they don't have a grand launch for Emerald Gardens. Those money spent on Shanghai Jazz, Drum Symphony, helicopter ride, fireworks, free flowing buffet, mini bike ride & etc could have been allocated for a grand guarhouse & better security infrastructure for EG.
What is the use of having a grand launching but delivers a substandard facilities?

Totally agreed... i hope Coral & Corris owner can establish 1 group to bring up this issue to the developer management. If we just send email to their customer service, we will getting the same stupid answer again & again from Public Relation Department. I believe someone has to initiate something.

Jason,

You're right. I forgot about that bridge over the highway! Our property prices in Emerald West and Anggun will also be affected. No wonder the prices in EW and Anggun not going up as fast as should be. Sure there will be a bottleneck there in future if they do not expand the bridge. The only way the developers want to sell fast and at even higher prices is for Guocoland,Hong Bee,Mah Sing,BRDB,Glomac and other developers to get together to expand the bridge.

My real estate agent friend said the developer of BCH,Tanco or whatever they call themselves now is already bankrupt and cabut. He said the site office also no longer there. Last time they sold the bungalow lots at Phase 6 for a higher price bcs of the so-called 9-hole golf course. Now there's nothing there. Anybody knows what they are going to do with the empty space?

These days I don't believe a word developers say. The DPC developer is really good. If I had bought there or at DU I'd have made more than a million just from one property.

Anggun 2 semi-d ... Nice design. Emerald - design normal only, but more space and trees. M-residence - modern and nice, but, location not good enough. Hard to chose ... Right?

Go go go  Home owner deserve better, if you compare to the older development in Emerald, those houses cost as little as 150k but bet their guard house is better then this....

Now 2012, more then 300k, getting a smaller and wors guard house???

Is the cost really so high? but then the developer had already factor all the price increase into all house buyer?
