Go to imgur.com, upload your photo direct from phone or computer (no need to register imgur, that's the beauty!). After the photo has been uploaded, copy the photo URL, and post it on this thread using the IMG button above. Simple right? biggrin.gif

I remembered I read some time ago that initially the ramp starting point was proposed somewhere before the current bus stop location, but there is a monsoon drain running behind the bus stop so there is not enough space to accommodate the flyover. I guess that's why the ramp starting point has to be moved to the turning into Persiaran Wawasan, and since the distance is now considerably short from starting point to end point, the U-ramp is necessary for proper sloping. I don't think MPSJ will be the one paying for it. Maintenance maybe.

Can anyone from Solace/ Brio share their renovation photos? I got reply from FM that all have to follow the ugly grill design (including at foyer and yard without external facade view), but from the photos I see on iproperty and propwall few are following the given design.

Exactly. The trend is to go horizontal, but this one stick to vertical, some more the spacing so close to each other. Really jail design.

Brio is a nice name. I thought R2 is only supposed to be the technical name for legal/planning purposes. Sound too low cost! Did not occur to me that there is no Brio sign board until pointed out by some first time visitors trying to find out which block is Brio.
*
Use "left block", "middle block" and "right block", haha! Although I also expect they have a signboard showing Solace, Brio and Vio and Trigon. Already given such nice names to the towers, must use it la.

Am not from kl. Besides ioi mall, which other malls are located near to sw? Thanks
*
Currently the nearest after IOI Mall will be Sunway Pyramid. In the future, you will have the Wharf Mall, IOI City Mall, and those upcoming malls in Equine/ Sri Kembangan (there's a few, can't remember the names). Truthfully if your purpose of going to mall is just to relax, have a nice meal or catch a movie, you don't have to leave SW's compound if you stay there. If you want to shop for specific items, then yes, you have to go out. Tesco is just opposite for groceries, light shoppers might be able to walk, but if your style is stocking up a few week's worth of groceries, you still have to drive out.

Was quite surprised that the railing at the balcony,, part of it has rusted. Sps sent someone to paint the whole railing. Also the in the wet area, water came out from the hole n partially flooded the area. I had to move my washing machine. Plumber will come on monday. Also the locks supplied are not of good quality.
*
Ya, my railing is rusty too, and the main door lock is broken. The lock can't keep the door close. Asked them to repaint and change the lock in during the joint inspection. The louver window latch at the kitchen was also broken. Balcony sliding door dented. Gap at MBR window (worried water will leak in during rain). One section of wall bulging. I expect all these to be fully rectified before I start my reno works next week. SPS promised it will be completed by today.

sw bad planning
they design sector 7 & muzeum like floating in the middle but ignore that they need the back
they should have enforce 360 degree with no back facing brio entrance
then brio residents come out straight to beers
like gardenz mid valley cafe 360 degree no back
*
Brio "back entrance" still ok la, for sure not as good view as Solace n Vio but not something to lose sleep over. biggrin.gif Now still come out straight away S7 and TBF. Was there last night, TBF have live band, loud music but not techno, still acceptable.

Excellent idea. It should be paid for by the owner of the lot occupied by Sector 7 and Beer Factory. They have violated the deed of mutual covenant signed by all owners.

Commercial part under the care of Customer Care Dept? The FMD for Solace/Brio/Vio equally bad, simple thing such as AC compressor location also cannot fully control. Just look at Solace. I believe Brio is slightly better as they have learnt something from Solace. One thing their AC piping cannot be concealed as the point is located at the beam, have to run casing at the external facade. Makes the building look ugly.

From what I was told, no hacking allowed on the beam, have to punch through the beam and run casing on the external facade to the compressor area. But some units have fully concealed piping whistling.gif

Well Mr.Ho is retired and now replace with Francis. Meeting him this Thursday regarding on service charge for January- March for Brio. The whole team is "tak apa" attitude except the customer service who actually did the touch up job but screw up 3 times in the roll without actually fixing the actual problem. Don't think SP Setia will waive the fee.

Just realise that our JMB for Brio is control by the R3 elected back in December. Whatever this group of people decide R1 and R2 people has to follow. I was told by SP Setia before buying Brio unit that every block will have their own management office and JMB but now seem everything is opposite. I guess Malaysia properties developers have reach all time low already like our government.
*
I think the current R3 team (Diva and gang) is just temporarily managing R2, R2's management office has been renovated, maybe the new team will be in soon. Same here the rectification are not all completed but since those are small defects, I just let it off since I will be doing renovation works.

Hiya to all. New participant here and a Vio unit owner as per namesake.  For an owner (Malaysian) living abroad, this forum provides valuable info, updates and interesting discussions on the development. Like many others, had just too received the statement on VP by email but since then informed SW that the earliest and convenient time for a return visit back to Malaysia to take possession would be in June which is fine by them. Any setback on being that late? It seems Vio has been completed ahead of the anticipated time. 2 months earlier in my case.

Wonder what the finished quality of Vio would be like as compared to Solace & Brio especially with its higher launch price and by a different contractor (as mentioned by a commentator earlier). Will there be any deviation? Any comments and photos by Vio owners for share-viewing following their visits and inspections would be most welcomed. Also can someone please advise when or at which stage will the first mortgage repayment and maintenance charges usually commence?

What happens to the complaints made by a number of Brio owners to SW on defects issues a while back? Have these been addressed to by SW? Personally feeling rather pleased with the development overall and have no doubt it’d become an attractive sure winner for both living in and as an investment. But that can only happen when owners and residents alike share such common desire and come together to form an alliance with a force to be reckoned with in safeguarding their rightful interests and to ensure the standard of a due quality living won’t be undermined. So hopefully more will join in, get involved and get connected in voicing any legitimate concerns one would have. Taking on the misdeeds committed by others such as Sector 7, Awave could be a start. It’s rather alarming to hear that these commercial guys are being let loose, running amok, putting up errant and unsightly obstructing structures all over the place while residential owners are prevented to even opt for a less banal prison-like grilles to door and window. A case of double standard indeed! Quality and design issues are of my primary interests / concerns at present and would be keen to see further discussions / resolutions on these topics in particular. Cheers.

Hello.. Dun foresee any setback for getting the keys late, just that you still have to pay for the maintenance fee starting from the date of VP regardless of when you collect the keys. Anyway, not much difference too as we (Brio) have started paying our maintenance fees but the facilities are not 100% ready yet.

A few contractors who visited my unit commented that the quality of the workmanship is considered good. I don't find any major defects but there were many small defects such as dirty painting jobs and the main door lockset is faulty. If you can see pass these then I think you wil be satisfied. Workmanship in common facilities especially lift lobby is a concern though, I find that it is an eyesore especially the wavy groove lines at the walls. I hope that once the frenzy renovation period is over in hopefully 2-3 months time, SPS will concentrate on making good and cleaning up the common areas. Paddings are provided in contractor's lift in Solace but not in Brio. Do they need enough complaints to only start to look into it? shakehead.gif

Regarding door grilles, we can chosse whichever design that we want, so I'm opting for horizontal lines rclxms.gif Only the balcony and yard grill designs are standardized.

One issue which I will raise up is the glass door at LG car park to the main lobby. What I understood was the management has no intention to open up the door, it will remain locked "due to security reasons". Due to this, I have to walk up the ramp to level G, down or up a flight of stairs to get to the lift lobby.

Overall it is a very nice development and so far no regrets buying into it, but there are still many issues to iron out with the management.

is it true that the main door lock works like this...
turn 1 time, turn 2nd time but once you pull the door handle down to open the dorr the door can actually be opened without unlockin?
it allows quick getaway if there is fire but i find this like not secured
has anybody tested it?

I tested it, yes, even when locked, you can just open the door by pulling the handle FROM INSIDE THE UNIT. From outside, sure have to use key to unlock.
