Guess my initial question was how the RA and the community members can also help. Not sure if we can ask owners who want to rent out to also screen the tenant with the RA and community members? If the tenant sees it as a hassle, then perhaps it can act as a deterrent? Folks with ulterior motives don't like additional hassle.

Actually if I were a real tenant who wanted to stay and raise my family there, I actually might appreciate that the RA and community ensures as a collective, the safety of the community.

Of course this can only work if most of the owners, community members agree to it.

i think do not need to go until that extend of getting RA screening....having a guard house....guard who does the rounding.....should be sufficient enough to avoid all this crime.

usually planned crimes happens during festival long leave.

(1)So the guards needs to make additonal roundings

(2)any shifting house leaving the residence need to be given 2 weeks notice

(3)any contruction work, the house owner need to notify the guard house registering the activity during long leave

of course many other measurement can be taken.

for renting house best to give to married couples or family.so its upto the house owner to collect the informations as a prove.ic ptotostet,working place address,name card,home town address,understanding the tenant better.....its same like interviewing a person for a job......unless we trust the person and convience
we will employ them.

Does anyone know: when is the proposed next launch? semi-d? terrace house?

Hi VIOLA Guys

It could me just me but i am wondering if u guys are also thinking that the mortgage drawdowns are becoming very frequent. I mean nearly 60% has been completed/claimed. Isn't that fast? The first drawdown was only in Feb. There are architects certs provided as to the completion. Maybe we shd ask them to allow us to have a look. Sometimes these architects also simply issue certs just to keep the developers happy (i used to be an auditor specialising in property development).

What are your thoughts on this matter? Just dun wan the developers to be financing other projects using our
money (he he he).

Cheers !!

terrace house progress can be dem fast one, if developer fast hand fast leg, everything smooth sailing, 1.5yrs is not impossible
getting the house fast is good for genuine house owner, no?

yo,

viola house was launched AFTER the construction has been taken place.

Went to see the progress about two weeks ago. Looks like the structures complete and just waiting for the finishing. Can't really see in detail as not allowed to go inside. Talked to the supervisor there and he said should be complete end of year. Of course, this is just his words. Yeah, maybe asking Naza to allow us to see our house is a good idea.

safety lah bro. construction area always a restricted area for public, owner or not.

Didn't say I disagreed with the guy or the rule.

already went inside, but don't ask me how. from my observation it can be completed by end of year but i don't think with CCC. may be hv to add another 3-4 mths or more for VP. by right they still hv a lot of time since original completion date by dec 2012.

ALREADY went inside? What type? Did we make a good choice buying it?

I must say i was a little worried when purchasing it coz the was no show units. I made my decision based on Spira and other TTDI developments.

I can't wait to move in !!!

is roger murphy another expat from the community after naing?

no no ..... i'm a thoroughbred malaysian. not an expat or anything. summore i come from an ulu place. :-)

I am choosing a house in klang..
double storie, no pipe leak, green surrounding with transportation reachable.. anyone could suggest me??

Well, you have posted here, i'll recommend you of course, Alam Impian. Although not Klang (border of Klang), you can do a quick search on this thread to find out your required info as i believe most of the points has already been discussed on "why" to choose Alam Impian (regardless TTDI or InP).

Hi everyone,

I bought one viola unit for own stay. After discussing the
S&p with my friend who is an architect, we go to the viola construction site and there are some concern raised :

1) the fence is only 1.2 m
2) the drain inside the house is not covered
3) the car porch and the driveway is only brushed concrete (A brushed finish is obtained by pulling a brush over the surface of the fresh concrete, after the surface has been levelled)
4)there is no awning for all the windows and the balcony in the master bedroom . I believe I&P houses have some awning for their windows
5) the flat space between the roof . Is there any rain gutter for this space? For this i suggest we should fight for the roof plan to be included in the s&p.

My concern are for item 1 ,2,3 and 4, if we do some variations or addition to it , is it affect the defect liability period? I was told by friend that any works (for example change fencing, add tiles ) that can change the structure permanently wll violate the waranty.
Appreciate your guys opinion about this.. TQ

Flaglido, perhaps it's not fully completed yet? The entire Viola community is not exactly a "hand-over" condition yet. Perhaps these touches will be put in closer to completion time? At least I'm hoping, seeing the quality finishing in Spira.

hi...just busy body over here as a forumer....

Firstly, item 1-4 are not architecture issue technically speaking, it is about specification. What is the is the issue with fence being 1.2m? too low? Most of the drain in new projects are not covered, some owners eventually close them up, some cover it with drain cover (typically steel), some cover it with cement/decrorative slabs. About car porch, some project giving tiles, some comes with cement slabs, some comes decrorative stone , etc.....unfortunately this one only comes with brush concrete....but again i think this should be spelled out or at least asked before purchasing. Awning is part of the design of the house, functionally it might be better, but it is very subjective from design or outlook perspective.

In summary, if all these are spelled out in the specification and drawing, I dont thin there is a case here to argue because they are not shortchanging you or providing you something that violate architecture principles. Well,, these are specification and to some extend these could be very subjective and very much a personal preference.

I dont know how much changes you want to make to the house, but some may subject to MBSA approval. Theoritically, you would void the warranty if you dont something affecting the structure of the building...if you hack all the flooring and replace with better flooring, and while doing that, you damage the wall, then you will be at fault and developer will not be laible to fix them for you.

Hope so.. But last Sunday, i went to site and there is one house that is completed so I assume this house is the final conditin tht we going to get

Maybe somebody in this forum know what kind of finishing the viola owners will get? Maybe the spira owner can give feedback for the below:

1) is spira fence also 1.2 m( just wnt to compare
2) is the drain inside the house in spira also not covered?
3) for the brushed concrete at driveway, i believe most of u will change to better tiles so would it void the warranty if the renovation takes place during warranty period - same goes to renovation for window capping/ fencing and gate/porsh

Appreciate all feedback.

I should read the sNp before pay the booking but in viola case we have to pay the booking first before we get the snp and the specification.. The specification in the snp also is very general and simple for example floor finishes : porcelain tiles.. What kind of porcelain tiles? I hope it is a good quality tiles ..

Being spending more than rm500 k for a house, i hope there is no much thing to add later on but in this case looking at the compelete unit might take out some money to do the uncomplete finishing..

if we replace with better flooring and it does not damage the wall then it will not void the waranty. Are u sure about this? i hope when something happen and it does not related to the flooring, the developer will take responsibility for the defect ..

Is there anyone here know whether renovation can affect the liability period?

Another concern is the viola roof. I hope the roof is not a design failure as there is a flat roof which looking from the complete unit there is no rain gutter. This worries me as if there is no rain gutter, where is the water flowing? This is just my concern, my concern is based on my view on the complete unit. If there is a roof plan in the S&p, then we will know the roof design. Anyone here know about the viola roof design?

Appreciate all feedback

Flaglido, maybe you could just ask an agent that is selling Spira units (you can check it out on iProperty), and request to see a few units (you can even ask for end-lots, corner, intermediates, etc) so that you can actually check out the build quality of Spira. Think your questions will probably be answered by yourself after you view the Spira units for sale.
