did anyone notice that in S&P, ground floor should be Skim coat and Fibrous Plaster Ceiling but the actual unit is only concrete ceiling?

yeah. i had mentioned this earlier here. I also highlighted to TTDI, but they said Ground floor Plaster ceiling is to cover the piping area which is near the Living room wall with aircond point and also the backyard area. those are very small area. i am waiting their architecture confirmation letter on this matter. Once i get this then I will consult with lawyer. zenquix, what do u think?

I have found some of the major defects for my house:
- Hollow Tiles in Dining and Living (already changed yesterday)
- Most of the lighting & plug point not function (already settle last week)
- Water Leaking at Car Porch drainpipe
- Water Mark found at Master bedroom bathroom's wall (wall with aircond point) bottom area (after did water proof test)
- Above the court yard, near skylight roof, found a big hole

Minor Defect
-The court yard floor with rocks (batu kecil) near toilet wall is wet always (i am not sure it is same to all houses or not?)
- Store room door cannot close firmly
- Water leaking at water meter area

how do you know if the ceiling is Skim coat and Fibrous Plaster Ceiling ? can touch and feel ah?

You can see with your eyes, there is no plaster ceiling at ground floor, or you can open the plaster ceiling cover near living room wall with aircond point), then u can see the piping which is linked to 1 floor. but this is for type A, I am not sure same to others or not.

I have already drilled the ground floor ceiling for lighting. No plaster ceiling. Just only inside toilets, in my case.

Added on March 8, 2011, 6:29 pmHow long do they take to repair defects after your complain? I am sending the list of defects to them this weekend. Haven't check them properly.

in my point, you cannot put the ceiling as a certain material in the S&P and only cover less than 5% of it with it. If they don't fix it or reimburse, will take legal action as developers cannot just take owners for a ride.

do you mind sharing how to check for the hollow tiles? Are these the tiles on the floor?

Also for the waterproof test, did you just fill up the shower area or the bathroom floor as well? Please share the methodology so that I can describe to my gf. Am not in town at the moment

You could use umbrella to knock on each tile, hollow tile will produce difference sound, if you found a few pcs, the chances to find more is high!

Thanks

whoaa.. thanks for the nice tips and sharing the defects! I have to check my unit as well, and also the SPA. Thank you thank you thank you!

ic. thx. will check on this. thx guys!

I also hightlighted this to them but they seem like no further action and said waiting the confirmation letter from their Architecture. So I just wait for it and also will take legal action for this. please ask them for the official letter if they insist no plaster ceiling for the ground floor, then only u can consult with ur lawyer.

I used coin 50cents to knock all the tiles. their contrator using iron ball to knock which got more easy checking.

For the waterproof, buy 4 packs clay from stationery shop and stick them on each bath room outfall area and let the water flood ur bathroom for 1 inch high will do. put this for few days and check all the walls. if got water mark then the test failed.

skim coat is not the same as plaster ceiling. When you mean cement ceiling, are you asaying that it is grey in colour??? If so, this is not acceptable at not...but if the ceiling already been skim coated, it is fine actually.

naing, u don mind for the plaster ceiling for ground floor? I wanted to put downlight at ground floor, so must do the plaser ceiling.
i raised these on 24th Feb and repaired tiles and power point defect by 7th Mar. still waiting for the others defect to be repaired.

Added on March 9, 2011, 10:05 amyeah.. it is skim coated. However it is cement ceiling instead of plaster ceiling, cement ceiling cannot install downlight unless u use those cone type downlight and need to conceal your wiring if added more downlight.

Umm.. i bought all lights in aluminium/glass type so I got more trouble in stalling them in plaster ceiling:)

Using the word of "Skim coat and Fibrous Plaster Ceiling" for ground floor maybe technically correct for our houses as some portions are Skim coat and some portions are Fibrous Plaster Ceiling in the ground floor. I think they will use that explanation to counter your argument.

ic.. then u should be ok for no plaster ceiling..
i think it should be "skim coat and fibrous" plaster ceiling instead of "skim coat cement ceiling and Fibrous plaster ceiling"
any explaination will do, as long as they send me the official letter for their explaination.

Even if they provide plaster ceiling, also need to see the height, otherwise, you might need to use downlight with horizontal bulk alignment.

If you want to put up plaster ceiling, you need to see what is the current ceiling height....because you need at least about a 1 feet for plaster ceiling, then it will reduce the overall ceiling height if the original ceiling is not that high...

ground floor is around 10 ft height and you can see crossbeam between living and dining room, it should around 1 ft, gam gam for the plaster ceiling to cover the beam.
spydermind, u also not going to do the plaster ceiling?

this ceiling talking is beyond me.
