dear forestkl,
I've seen the sinking carporch at 1/1b, 2/1d. isnt this 2 jalan is enough to tell the soil is soft there? and please explain why the house is cracking the whole way round? 4 dimensional cracking.. you must be one of the agent there.. and to boost your market.. you must have buy few lots there if u like there so much.. please dont make others into trouble.. our hard earn money is not to endanger with such kind of houses..
i check the house closely, and i saw everywhere is cracking in the house.. and the owner had already fix it.. but i think the outer is fixed.. and i dont think the owner is fixing the inner side.. living hall crack, kitchen crack, master bedroom crack.. 2 small room crack.. everywhere is cracking..
and the most common thing is that the roof is leaking... i've seen 4 houses at nusaputra and everyone of the house must encounter the roof water leaking..
so i think the house quality is really in poor condition..
its just my opinion... no offence..
well, there is plenty of choices out there besides nusaputra if you are not comfortable with the units condition.

IMHO, some of Nusaputra houses are either not having proper structure design or the works not been carried out properly by the Contractor. And now i m pretty sure its facing structure cracks due to soil settlement.
it is a double storey teresse house, and not multi levelled high rise building, the design of the building structure is conventional & straight forward. the cracks that is visible throught out the wall, if it happens to be in a horizontal or vertical lines, it is safe to say that it is a joint cracks developed between the joining surfaces of a reinforced concrete members (either beams or columns) and brickwalls due to 2 non-homogeneous materials.
if the cracks width is no thicker than your hair, it is then known as a "hairline" cracks and it is perfectly safe. so long there is no cracks that is moving in a diagonal direction, there is nothing you should be worry about.
a building is warrantied for a period of 18 mths upon completion and the coverage of the rectification works is very extensive. hence, if any of your units are experiencing minor cracks & still within the warranty period, you are advised to contact your developer asap.
As for soil movement, it is logically that "soil settlement" will occurs when you place a massive object such as a building on top of any soil (soil contains both solids, water and air voids and solid tends to filled in water and air voids when it is compressed) the question is, whether does the soil settled evenly in every extend of the building. in the event when a building is experiencing a slight but anticipated uneven soil settlement, as a resultant, cracks will developed.
I can understand some of you may worry that your new house may have more cracks than others. if you are really concern about it, you may approach the maintenance team in nusaputra to have a joint inspection.
Remember, the wild spread of unproven theories will only create more problems than solutions.
