The modern method 10 years ago under mont Kiara those days is 1 week 1 floor !

Today methods ? I don't know .
I am no engineer . We use eyes to see.


I don't know how to attached pix here .
From my window at Sungei Besi condo nearby
Far away I see 3 huge high blocks 10-12 stories ( Leafz) moving up .at night bright lights all over .

Then I look to the left n behind some flats I see very low cranes etc .and low low concrete block .

That's all I can see.

The fact that the Central has underground parking ( few levels) and not separate external block high tier parking has taken a lot more time to build the basic building block .
So hopefully once the basic 3 blocks are strongly done ( includes lower parking) then the easier work of erecting floors can move up n up .

Just that we r anxious n not on purpose .
Let's all cool n demand reply from those directly involve with the project .

It's better to hear from the project man than just any of us . Most of us meant no harm.

Pay interest or repair defects are just a Promise in contracts . That's small compare to reputation of any developer.

Claiming interest is a long long due process which may take years ! If any will be paid n usually some may even propose that may be paid via contra against monthly maintenance bills to offset whatever owing if solve amicably .

Then there are defects when VP . Any developer can delay doing despite the "law" in the S&P.
By which time - most owners would have repaired themselves when renovating going on by their own appointed contractors n designers as rush to move in or to rent out soonest .


Why people rush n grab reputable projects done by famous established developers ? Because these developers got nice looking buildings for sale ?
Or it's " another good project by a famous developer"?
Anything that developer touch is GOLD as they saying goes ... And price double triple due to the Midas Touch .


That's why famous names of developers are attached to the project board put up outside projects !

So it's not about claiming back interest or defects .
As explained- the procedures of claims are a long enduring one.


What we hope n wish - a delivered project .
Many of the rest is less worrying.
Just keep each other posted on the project as a whole.
As I said that all who concern are welcome and they meant no harm. They are just worry .
This platform is to allow us to express our joy as owners n anxiety which can be lower when factual info is given n obtained.

With exact factual info - much of anxiety can be lowered.

Being 25👀floor
I yet to receive any letter from bank for any interest payment .
Last payment was cheque to YT being 2nd Deposit payment . I took 80% Loan.

So wait la.

Bru

If I pay being 25 th floor
I will be happy to pay
That means almost completed reaching 26th highest !!!

I think the future of bullet trains kinda too far away to think of, 2014/2015 is more important to us .

Just hope that the condo itself will live up to what it was intended to be .

Hi

That's what I was expressing ...
Whether if all 3 Blocks are in stages - and even sharing common facilities - how ?

In midfields case- block A ( green) tower was delivered n VP ahead of Block B n C .
Despite all sharing same facilities .
Difference is the B n C was almost completed n doing remedial work n pose no immediate dangers to others at block A . Block B n C was fenced up n no one can enter .
The. Other Round pool was not usable as block B was not ready .

When Block B n C are finally ready - the rest of facilities like Park, round pool, etc only then were accessible later.

In Central case - I got no idea what will be the result if different stages of blocks completed .

1yr ?
No kidding ?
Even repair defects of completed units takes more than 3 months in most developments la ....

We are talking about full scale built up of 20 over levels 3 blocks with roads n amenities n drains and landscaping and beautification and final cf n VP !

1 yr from now ?
The other 2 blocks ?
Let's face realistic time line -
When all 3 completed n VP is when ?

Anyone got some info ?

Yahoo !!
Good news - faster better
Rainy weather may slow but it's gd news
By march should reach 18 floors !!!!!

Today technology is at least one floor
One week

20 years ago, those condo at mont Kiara.
They built 1 floor per week
It's 2013. No big deal !

If any floors not build - it's not the technology that is slow
It's usually human or other reasons !!!

Any reasons why COURT 845/872 are still available despite being cheaper than larger units ?

Customer preference is one thing.

Why the 800plys sq ft units are leftover is definitely not a preference issue I think .

Could it be since the Court already so expensive , buyers might as well get bigger 3rm 2b units as value compare to smaller units ?

If I were to buy a unit at Courts- certainly a bigger unit since it's already price high . Bigger units around 1200sq ft is just appropriate for couple for family increase to 4 in future compare to small units !!!

Just my opinion .

The crazy hike in hse condo prices NOT to demand exceed supply . It is more like created by those speculators who buy bulk n goreng together n feasting on sub sales 150% -200% higher than original launch n cashing out better than stock exchange profit .

Who benefit ? I think the lawyers n banks who accepted loans with such marked up home loan as compare to 2009 when hse n condo prices were simple normal n healthy .

Now- the country is stuck with overrated Hse prices n high home loan to pay n low salary .

When this crunch in household savings n lower than ever disposable incomes - who can buy houses ,?
Who dare to take up loan incase lose job ?
Who dare to brave the house prices n buy another unit for children or investment ?

Demand exceeds supply ? NOT Definitely . SUPPLY EXCEEDS DEMAND. Most completed condo are seeing hundreds empty units. The truth is not demand exceed supply. The truth is if u willing to pay high speculative market price - you got that unit . No such thing as no units for KL people . Plenty la including office lots .

CGT n end of dibs effective January - will see slower take up n slower sub sales as the Marjin profit from speculative goreng rumah is soon over n start of Lelong Mari Mari ....

So the truth is here . Cash is king !!!

Let's be bless that we are the lucky few who can afford to buy houses like Central and able to pay our loans .

Happy 2014. The horse gallops faster.
Make sure your wallet grow faster too.
Hard times coming .

Congrats

How much Bru ?
U bought ?

Your unit cheaper than my 25th floor
731 sq ft at Soho side .
I bought at 500k
Yrs 439k

My side is soho ( office or stay together license)
Yours is residence n cannot be office .
But if it's service apt you may turn into 2 room home stay rent out on daily rental stay for holiday makers ?

As long got people come in n service house keeping ?

Make sure u get side by side .
" try insist" n not let them decide !!

Congrats !!!

U got side by side !!!

Btw SKY
Central Soho is commercial or residence by status ?
Want know this as whether Bandaraya or utilities ( water / electric) charge different base on commercial or residence !

If you appoint customized furnishings, always more expensive few times, as it is using better materials, furnishings std and you can view the 3D versions and settings and can change the internal layout n external of your wardrobes.

Honestly, if u go to those home shows, you can grab a good quality high std wardrobes for RM 1800-2800 depending the length of cupboards.

The Home shows furniture a sellers sell quality ones, and NOT BREAKDOWN furnitures which comes in DIY packages.
If for own use, buy quality ones which as I said u can choose from decor Home shows like Home Dec, Perfect Living. Etc.

I order customized in my new condo because I want the colors to coordinate , n using high quality furnishings gloss to 4D furnishings. And the height reach up the ceiling . Of course, expensive la.
Based on average, a customized order can be anything for 3rooms n kitchen Can reach from Rm 24k to 45k for 1000 sq ft unit.

That's the normal charges exclude Rennovation charges and lights.

I rent at midfields la

My other condo at Gembira Residence .
There I hire kitchen designers specialist .
N Contractors rennovation .
Cost past RM80k -100k

So I know that hiring specialist is a must if u want quality .
Loose or not loose things still cost money.
If loose until look not tai Fong or cheap look then what for ?

My kitchen using 4K furnishing n others already cost over 30k la. ....

My neighbors lagi more ...
So u see it's not easy to limit cost as things are very expensive .
Eg do u want to compromise with a cheap cooker than a good one ?
The security CCTV put in unit already can over rm 2000 minimum. Shoe box design by specialist already RM 2000
What else ..

My MIDFIELDS unit is quite bare only simple kitchen
No Nothing furnishings .
2 years ago after VP if rennovated may cost 20k minimum things .. Today after 2 years / if rennovation - the minimum will be RM 45k.

So sometimes it's not later only do the things . Delay action cost higher .
