Anyone have any idea whether this applies to corner lots only or to all Duranta units?

On the discussion of renovating/building out the RC platform or front balcony, I am tempted too but will want to check with a contractor before deciding further. See whether it is a good choice or not first  smile.gif

If I'm not wrong, the 'extra' washrooms are only for type F corner lots

Hi, I am a banyan semi-d owner. We have a U-shaped staircase that makes the downstairs underneath looks odd. Would appreciate if you can show some interior pictures on how the deco such stairs. Thanks.


Added on February 29, 2012, 5:13 pmJust called the KLK office and spoke to the one in-charge of the Banyan semi-d progress. Was told that lot unit 26905 to 26908 are currently being built and 35% up.

According to her, we may try to inspect but it is up to the site workers whether to allow us in or not. It's for our safety actually.

According to my layout plan, the banyan powder room door is much further away from the main door, but this one looks very close to it. Most likely not Banyan. wink.gif

Every one here is wondering if the balcony is strong enough on its own. I've been asking the sales agent too but they are clueless at this stage. Probably need to get them to ask the project engineer.

My version of duplex concept is an extension of half upper floor over the lower floor in a high ceiling structure. Just an idea though, atm no idea how high the ceiling will be.
*
The ceiling is at least 16 feet high

16ft at its lowest point? Anything above 16ft is good enough for a partial additional floor! icon_idea.gif

Tempted to do this user posted image

Except above the elevated floor is ceiling. If it can be done, then i'll gain more or less extra 100sqft of workstation rclxms.gif

It's a level ceiling. Depending on how u construct the the mezzanine, loft or duplex (whichever u 1 to call it), u can also access the "skylight" from which u can exit to a r.c flat roof of approx. 120 sq. ft. U may then transform it into a sun deck or for star gazing at night in complete privacy.

Spot on! The supporting structure will be steel and flooring will consist of wood (tree house style). Did some calculation on material cost, shouldnt exceed rm5k. Only concern is high workmanship charges.


Added on March 4, 2012, 12:17 pm

Some minor concern is i think they are going to place the water tank at "skylight" area. But relocating it wont cost too much either.

My idea for the whole renovation is more towards structural renovation rather than spending heavily on furniture and fancy lighting and stuff like u see in show units which is bloody expensive. Instead, i'm planning to do european style of interior which is simple and spacious. Most importantly its easy to maintain and AFFORDABLE! laugh.gif
*
The water tank should be below the roof of the master bedroom and u can access it through an opening in the ceiling just outside the m/bathroom door. Our priority will be the kitchen, feature walls for the foyer and living area and glass railings 4 d staircase. If we kena 4 ekor that is.

Hi Guys,

              I have visited the sites 2 weeks ago and would like to share that Bromelia and Duranta are going at quite a fast pace. There are show units for Duranta and Bromelia as well. Managed to take some shots but will share them later. The ceiling height is about 10 - 12 feet and not suitable to extend into duplex. No way. Quality wise are good. But the backyard is very short abt 8 feet. Not much space.

              What happen to the proposed group renno??? Quiet already??
*
The duplex was intended for the family hall of the Duranta, which has a ceiling height of 16 feet and the ceiling ht. is 10 ft. for other areas. Your measurements are approximates, at best. You're probably referring to the Bromelia. For your info., the distance from the kitchen wall to the rear fence of the Duranta is 118"

Hi all, went to check out BSC this afternoon. Took the guthrie highway and was very long as I live at Kepong. Any other way from Kepong? Other than that, the site is huge. Went to checkout Bromelia, really nice but contractor did not allow to enter in as he said public is not allowed. Duranta looks really good too. Anyway does anyone know how to get there without passing the depressing kampung road? too many traffic lights and too long. smile.gif

Great pics..... rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

The color scheme is different from that shown in the brochure.  ohmy.gif
This one looks garish, the grey and brown contrasting, compared to the more subdued greenish tones in the brochure image.

Can complain or not? Or just re-paint back later. Think most likely will re-paint. hmm.gif

Also the white drain pipe in front is ugly. It was not in the brochure image.   doh.gif 

Hehe, not yet siap already complaining  tongue.gif

I also just realise that one of the 1st floor back rooms will not be covered by the tile roof.
That part of the roof is flat concrete, and I think can see the water tank there.

Wondering need to cover up or not.

Hi, before you complain to KLK regarding the drain pipe and the colour scheme being different from the brochure, may I advise you to scrutinize the brochure first. I'm sure somewhere, in very small prints, you'll find the words "artist's illustration only" Sorry for the unsolicited advice. Cheers!!!

I did check for Bromelia, I am sure is double bricked and they used clay brick (red color) for the wall between houses, for within house partition they just use sand brick, but I think should be good one as well, because I tried to bang it few times still tahan lasak, haha..
*
Just got back from BSC. Can now confirm that the "party wall" for both Bromelia and Duranta are 'single-brick'. The plus side of such construction is that you'll be getting an internal measurement of 23 ft. 6 ins. instead of 23 ft. if the "party walls" are 'double-brick' (applicable to intermediate lots)

Thanks. Highway is faster but has toll. There is already Persiaran Surian from The Curve that leads to the Sg. Buloh road which is running parrarel to the proposed highway in this map. It joins the Guthrie Corridor Expressway that has an exit to Jln. Kuala Selangor near Desa Moccis or if not,  turn right to join Jln. Kuala Selangor . This allows you to skip the crowded portion of Jln. Kuala Selangor.
I took 40 min. the most to reach BSC fr. PJ. This is the same time I took daily to go to my office fr. PJ to Putrajaya.
In my opinion, this travelling time is worth it for the sake of owning a freehold home at much less$! The extra hundreds or thousands u save by monthly instalments can let u go for extra shows, annual trips and spend on some luxury etc. It actually allows u to lead a different lifestyle! The reverse would mean tight spending, little or no cash for leisure living for each month and it goes on for years on end! It can really weigh your spirit down that way. Some stretch their loan over to 2 generations and live with unease.

Please excuse kengwei. He's 'blur' Anyway, the distance from the sliding door to the gate is approx. 29 ft. and the width is approx. 16 ft. However because the gate is only 11 ft 9 ins. wide, you may find it difficult to maneuver.

A word of advice for the developer: have a heart for the middle class home buyers, some are first time home owners and hope to stay for a lifetime! If you put metal deck roofing, the noise especially from loud thunders nowadays we have often, is simply deafening and frightful. I once entered a house done up that way and the owner himself is a building main contractor, and suddenly the thunder hit, and guess what, it is like the whole roof turned into a huge cymbal -the crushing sound u get from the lion dance discs instrument, but it came reverberating down from the ceiling and seize you through and through. Where is peace for these ppl., even if they are willing to bear with it! You just don't know when thunders come, the only thing you do is to tell yourself - get ready whenever it rains, and don't hope not to be awake in shock if u are sleeping. If you have pets like cats or dogs, they will leap. For a contractor, one should believe that he already placed sufficient insulation to his son's home! Obviously, insulation didn't help at all- it just feels like nothing can block such huge noise!
*
Based on what you described, I could be forgiven for thinking it was an excerpt from a mystery/horror novel. Did the lightning actually strike the roof or was it a near miss. Had it been a direct strike on a roof with concrete tiles, it would blown a hole through it and probably set it on fire. Is it also a fact or an assumption that the metal deck roof was sufficiently insulated and yet it created such a deafening sound loud enough to even wake up the dead? I am not being judgmental, but just because he's a contractor, one should believe that he already placed sufficient insulation to his son's home? But then again, I MAY BE WRONG !

I have seen a few high end bungalows with the modern type of metal deck roofing. So there must be a way to minimise the noise.

Not sure what type will KLK offer. This is not something that can be 'tested' before you buy. Once bought, if no good, can only cry.

Does anyone knows of any other developments offering metal deck roofs?  Just curious.
*
All the Semi-Ds in Setia Eco Park use metal deck roofing (for Mel's info, it covers the whole roof). For all detractors of metal deck roofing, perhaps the article @ http://www.tampile.com/blog/2011/01/metal-...ng-vs-shingles/ will ease your mind somewhat.

Added on April 25, 2012, 12:39 pm
If you read the link given, you will see that it refers to the effect of rain on a metal roof and not thunder. Does rain make loud sound like thunder? Why didn't you address the issue, or are you not able to?
*
Before I proceed, please refer to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_there_be_thu...thout_lightning. Analyze what I'm trying to say before screaming bloody murder.


Thank you for bringing this up. It's all about insulation and its effect on sound. Of course any child will know that thunder is louder. Like I've said, for the sound to be ear-shattering, the LIGHTNING strike, that creates the sound of thunder, could be spot on or very close by. It's a qualified question which you are the one who have not addressed in a comprehensible manner, but instead chose to spew pathetic insinuations.
By the way, before I posted my comments yesterday, I asked myself "Does 'Supreme' have a sense of humour?" "Sure" I said. But I guess I'm wrong. In fact I had planned to enlighten interested fellow BSC forummers on the previous query about the party wall issue, but now I guess I'll 'let sleeping dogs lie.' Cheers!!!

Thanks. The pleasure is all mine. I always try to do a little research before posting or commenting. While we would like KL-K to be more proactive, slating them with unsubstantiated and negative comments will not benefit either party. We can only benefit from BSC's success. If we have any issues, we should discuss them rationally and civilly. If I am wrong, I stand corrected. icon_rolleyes.gif

Your reply: Lightning causes thunder..that's fine, but why did you proceed to talk about "blown a hole through it and probably set it on fire"? Are these my concern? For this, it is true that you need to be 'forgiven' for your mind has landed into some strange territory. Humor? Only an unsound mind can joke stupidly when an issue is of concern to buyers. No, this I see is an attempt to lead the discussion off track. I would rather go on and dismiss you altogether. 

To those who supported you, let me counter you on the point of the need to do research before coming to this forum:
My own experience is true and granted, it may lead me to a wrong conclusion,  It is up to sensible forum-ers to convince me otherwise based on what they know. Give info you did, but it doesn't give you the right to insult others!

To quote prozak53, 'It's a qualified question which you are the one who have not addressed in a comprehensible manner, but instead chose to spew pathetic insinuations.' There is no attempt to 'spew' pathetic insinuations' to whoever as prozak53 is quick to accuse.  Do not forget that the purpose of discussion is to pull together our knowledge in order to learn and understand things better. Need me do all the research before coming here? If that is the case, this should be an info dissemination forum, not a discussion forum.  In a roundtable discussion, people are free to give their views and stand to be convinced otherwise. To prozak53, you will do better to refrain from this misunderstanding, but then, again, who know your present mental state may allow you to dwell into 'horror' territory even on a simple issue like this?
*
I can go toe to toe with you on this issue to kingdom come, but I don't think I'll lower myself to the level of a juvenile delinquent.
Let me quote you...

"Do not forget that the purpose of discussion is to pull together our knowledge in order to learn and understand things better"

But you contradicted yourself by saying....

"Need me do all the research before coming here? If that is the case, this should be an info dissemination forum, not a discussion forum."


You mean to say that in a discussion forum there is no place for the dissemination of information? Knowledge without information? No wonder you speak like an imbecile. And leave others out of this, irrespective of which side of the divide they are on.

Also, thanks for worrying about my mental state. Rest assured that even if I'm a complete lunatic, I'll still be able to think more rationally than you ever will.

Chill out man!!! Don't let this episode devour your inner soul. On hindsight, had you subtly told me you feel offended by my horror novel comment, I probably would have apologised. It's not my nature to insult (in your opinion anyway) others. Didn't I take the trouble to research and inform you about the colour scheme of the Banyan? See, I'm not that bad huh! Gosh! Sometimes I just love myself. (N.B. Is that sarcasm or witticism? It depends on your sense of humour, right?)


Added on April 27, 2012, 4:29 pmIt seems that a misunderstanding between myself and Supreme1394 has escalated into a cyber war of words. I feel it has created an atmosphere of disharmony in this forum. For that, I apologise to all and sundry, especially 'kengwei', whose noble effort started this forum.

I'm not on an egoistic trip or to seek self gratification. Therefore I shall cease and resist any temptation (or at least try very hard) to go on a tit-for-tat mission. In fact I may even let Supreme1394 take the last shot without me reciprocating (unless it's too personal). smile.gif

Btw, recently KLK is moving quite slow in this township in term of launching the next projects, as compare to other developers who has the similar township development, so the master plan still is a question at this moment, they might stop it anytime if the sales and profit is not encouraging, this is business.

Cheers~
*
To the contrary bro, KLK is moving extremely fast. If I am not mistaken, KLK had within a 9 mth. period launched 'Bromelia', 'Duranta', 'Banyan' & 'Oleanda' - totaling 555 units (of which 128 units are semi-D's), and expected to be delivered, on schedule, by the 2nd. Quarter of 2013. Most other developers imo, notworthy.gif who has similar township development, would have spread the 555 units over 3-4 phases with a lapse of 6-9 mths in between each phase. On top of that, 50 units of 18'x60' med/cost 2-sty. hse, 128 units of 'Areca' & 80 units of shoplots are being constructed simultaneously & in advance stages of construction. Then there are another 142 units of 'Banyan II' semi-D's

While all this is going on, I was told KLK will be launching, by the 2Q of 2013, the 20'x70' 2-sty. link houses, etc. towards the Sg. Buloh prison side where land clearing is in progress.
I am no soothsayer, but I remain positive and believe KLK has the reputation & financial clout to deliver. rclxms.gif

I wish all the buyers of BSC will one day look back and say "I have made the right decision and am proud to call this home"

Arrivederci.
