what is your comment on this.
alamak... tired la with this issue. crack is only happen if you doing renovation with out standing supervision or without professional consultant. is not soil settlement issue or what.. it just a matter of design issue. at car porch area, there is no piling been done. column stand on the pad footing. normal condition is okay, but if you remove (or your neighbour) one of the column at the car porch, then crack will appear. why? because the distribution of the load is not the same anymore!firstly i'm nt looking for condo. i bought one recently in taman melati gombak area (PV5). but that one for investment. it'll be rented out soon.

Crack at precinct 1 is not involved with main structure or brickwall. Is only appear at car porch (joint between porch & driveway) IF YOU REMOVE THE COLUMN.
Come to your friend's house & see if he or his neighbour had removed the column. If yes, then their fault!
I've read one of the article in The Sun pertaining this issue somewhere in December 2009. The most funny thing is the picture itself! yes, it's not a hairline crack but this was happened when the owner extend his kitchen! The connection between wall is not properly done (i believe there is no exmet, fishtail, starter bar & additional piling for kitchen). We are not talking about technical aspect like compaction for every 300mm, proper ground beam, rebar size etc. No wonder it's crack!!
However, some cases may be can be categorized as defect... & the owner should highlight this to Management at the early stage!
