The laminated glass railing on 1st floor of 2-storey Semi-D and balcony + 2nd floor of 3-storey Semi D look so unsafe. You can't even lean on the glass railing as there is no stainless steel railing like the one used in 3-storey superlink.

Semi D: VS 3-Storey Superlink:

Be fast to raise yr request coz TMS has confirmed all the material spec, keep yr finger cross as it isn't easy to negotiate with developer like TMS..
I personally feel that Sime Darby is better in giving details information for theirs' project, it is nothing wrong TMS provides low quality material if the price is justified, willing buyers willing sellers, they shd be blamed for not enclose the details at early stage, tis is the 1st time I deal with TMS, overall is still within my expectation for my 3-storey, gd luck guys..keep up the pressure

Ya I noticed that as why they dun provide the same like the 3-storey

Comparison between Kinrara Residence's parquet strip flooring and other high end development's solid timber flooring:

VS

Nolah.. KR Semi-D's flooring is still solid timber (narrow strip), quality is same but looks not so nice only, if m the buyer I will change it either by developer or myself

collectively, please quickly raise to angela. thanks.

I foresee Angela will resign soon

I noticed they use 2x2 Porcelain China Tiles (Brand : Stargress ). Very cheap about RM7/pcs base on project price. I used it before during my previous project at D' Boulevard. Pity for Semi D & 3 Story buyer

looks like buyers gonna pay top money mediorce quality of product use

Ya the tiles is low grade one, in terms of material used, Kinrara new house are much better

Added on March 18, 2011, 5:46 pmFr now, developers shd be more alert on internet discussion, buyers are getting smarter and smarter nowadays, informations shared within second over the forum, m a bit worry for 2-storey and 2 1/2 storey link hse purchasers as the houses are not Conquas compliance, the quality is definitely lower than SD and Superlink, no show unit to examine, jialat

Spoke to the Mah Sing People on Site at the Show Houses today. Highlight to them the quality problems. Found out that the invite for 20th March 2011 is for Link House buyers and 26th March 2011 for Semi-D Buyers. Maybe we can meet up this coming 20 March and 26 March 2011.

I think Mah Sing heard your complaints. Saw the workers put on the stainless steel railings to the glass railing today. Hope that they will also install the shower screens.

I will be there at 10.30am

My apologies, perhaps I jumped the gun too early on the glass railing. Maybe they already planned on putting it originally.

Another shortcoming is, I think Kinrara Residence is using concrete sand roof tile that has much lower insulation properties than clay roof tile.

Take a look at the high quality & thick clay roof tile used in Bandar Kinrara Phase 7A12 (Emerald):


Don't misunderstand me, I'm not complaining about Kinrara Residence. Overall it's still an excellent development with G&G, clubhouse, linear park, etc. I just hope the developer understands that nowadays purchasers are more knowledgeable and information spread very fast. Therefore they should try to return good values to their customers so that they'll continue to excel in future sales. Again, I must emphasize that high end properties should come with high end finishes. Otherwise the purchasers will end up with unnecessary & extensive renovation, which creates more waste material. That would be very bad for our green mother earth.

99% of link hse use concrete tiles, clay is definitely very good, 4 times more expensive, tis is why I say Kinrara new hse has one of the best quality earlier. Emerald's clay is specially imported 8 times more expensive than concrete tiles.
Clay has 3 functions :
1. Better heat knsulation
2. Hardness
3. Color preservation (roof looks new even after 20 yrs)

PKB is launching new SemiDs and Bungalows at BK 8 this coming 22 March 2011. The cheapest unit is RM 2.88M for Build Up 4921 sf and Land Area 5499 sf. Now getting almost impossible to own the new SemiD and Bungalows in Bandar Kinrara. Prices have been shooting up since the 1st SemiD at BK 8. Wonder how would be the response.

Thats what I thought. Why does MS provide such cheap material ???? I am sure that the labor cost and other raw materials e.g sand & cement is more than the China tiles used. I guess MS is now trying to maximize their profits by providing cheap & shoddy finishings.

For the 2 storey SemiD I spoke to the Developer today to provide a cement partition near the starcase facing the main door.They ask us to write in to request.

i wonder what will happen to 2s ....

Very cheap tiles means very easy to crack? or finishing is not smooth?? wonder how TMS expects to get good CONQUAS score with low quality finishing.

If not mistaken, CONQUAS is giving marks based on quality of workmanship, nothing to do with building material used

Actually most of housing project use china tile. They cant bear high cost of high end porcelain tile such as Lombardo series of White horse, can cost bout RM20++ per pcs.. Stargress, Sixny and even Feruni is most common China tile. They are 'look' good but interm of quality u have to monitor closely. U can detect the different from thickness and shinning. For myself, i bought 2 story at RM464k... maybe its fair enough. But for Semi D, 3Stry, is it fair? I personally ask the C.O.W at site office. The said they will use it for Semi D

Qonquas is to measure quality of work not for material. They can use QLassic also if they want...

Basically, it is their game to gain more profit. However, on my side, i expect they will use at least Johnson Suisse/Armitage Shank sanitary ware (TOTO most welcome), Guocera/MML tiles, Premtex sanitary fittings, 1.2mm thck powder coated aluminium frame, clay brick (not C&S), monier roof tile with COOL ROOF, Light Weight Roof Truss ( not timber, easily exposed to termite problem), Clipsal switch and Iseo lockset... Just in my dream..
