In Malaysia, if estimate 2016 to be completed then we can expect it to done in 2017.

Hope I can move in by mid 2015.

From what I heard from the Mitrajaya about 2 weeks ago, the key only to be handover to buyers on December. It is too late to do much as CNY is just around the corner. After that, with reno starting on March.... , is it good to start reno during Cheng Beng period???

Ding Dong here and there, well, only can go in June...

This is a great news. Hope it is reliable.

After CNY I am getting busy for reno...

I also for own stay.... Unless someone offer me 2X the from my buying price

The 2nd phase look good. From what I heard from Mitrajaya people from the site sales office, the 2nd phase will start selling around Dec or early 2015.

When I was there early this month, all the 2nd phase buildings are around 60% completed (from my observation but I am not an expert in the construction phases)

Selling price is expected to be slight higher than 1st phase (I not sure what was their definition of slightly higher) On the other perks, not sure if the 2nd phase will be the same as the 1st phase.

I also got the notification .

Now start thinking about the renovation

Must start to buy things for the house before the GST.

I don't think so.

Try to get the kitchen hood that comes with the filter. It is a bit expensive and a bit high on maintenance.

Anyway, where are you going to open the hole. Please consult the developer on this.

I have already purchased a few items already and asked the shop to hold on it until I required the delivery. They are more than happy to get the sales.

So far I have not contact any contractors yet. Thinking of my old contractor who did my current house renovation 6 years ago. Small contractor but very reliable. He also did my sister house renovation 2 years ago. Quite satisfactory with the work and price.

As for your air ducting, I think that way is ok with the developer as it did not touch the exterior of the condo.

I was on the site last 2 weeks. At that time they are testing the pool and all the water equipment. The landscaping has completed. They have put up a barrier to separate the 1st phase and the 2nd phase.

According to SA there, expected the key on either late December or January, depends on how fast the authority approved it as they have already submitted the application.

*sorry as I did not capture any photos during the visit.

I am for my own stay.

If someone offer me the price that is very very interesting, I might consider....

I just found out that inverter and normal air-con used different kind of piping. I just whatapps the SA to find out what kind of air-con piping the developer included. I dont want to buy the wrong air-con type.

Note: Suspected they are giving us the normal piping coz it is cheaper. Arrr, kena hack the wall to change to inverter. Very costly

Anyone find out whether the developer provided water heater? From the empty unit, if you notice, you need to hack the bathroom wall to add heater to connect to the shower (master bedroom attached bathroom). Unless you put the heater on top of the ceiling or used the tank heater that can be placed on top of the ceiling. It will be expensive to do that.

I also notice it is the same for all the other bathroom.

It is now confirm that the supplied aircon pipes are for the non-inverter aircon.

Next month, I am going to be drown with project deliveries. No time to think.

You are right for the energy saving in the inverter air-con. No different if you are going to use it for short time period. Places such as dining area, living room can used non-inverter. I don't think you are going to spend 8 hours there. Bedroom air-con, you can consider the inverter but for me, I will choose non-inverter. I don't like to sleep in the air-con for long.

Inverter air-con parts are more expensive especially their electronic section.

Well, I am going for

Dining - 1HP
Living - 2HP
All bedrooms = 1 HP

Another info I got from the developer on my last visit last Saturday was the water heater has to be the storage water heater and not the wall mounted. Joven and Alpha as these models. I believe it comes with 15 liters and above. Normal water heater (wall mounted version) you need to hack the tiles for the piping and wiring.

I have not look around for the water heater, any suggestion where to buy and how much the cost of installation.

I was told that we can only get the key by January next year. Hope it will be soon, I don't want to pay GST for all the renovation items.

So far no news from my bank.

Ouch, more $$$ to spend.

I also notice, there a lot of windows we need to put curtains. Most of them are 10 feet height and this another big bomb to install. Planning to go to Nilai for curtains. I heard that there they are wholesale and can get better price and a lot of varieties.

Thanks for the information. I will visit them end of the year. Now still busy with work especially weekend.

I have visited them with my wife and they quoted me around 6K for the whole house curtains. The price was for the discounted material which only 4 choices which my wife don't like it at all. Suspected these material were old and not popular and they wanted to get rid of them. The non promo material the quotation went to 8K plus plus.

We went to another shop (same row with the "One Stop Curtain" and next to Guardian upstairs - above 1 Station Café) - H Home FurnishDesign Sdn Bhd. The price they quoted for the entire house curtains is around 5.3K. Downstairs 3 black out with sheers and upstairs with 3 backout with sheers. The price also included blinds for the kitchen and the master bedroom side window. The shop was not impressive but from the look at the floor, they have a lot of big plastic bags with ready made order curtains for their customers. If without blinds the price only around 4.7K with they say can nego further. For me, blinds, I am going to buy ready made from DIY shop which only will cost around RM300 for both windows.

I am still scratching my head about kitchen cabinets. No decisions yet whom might get my hard earn $$$$.
