Can someone good in civil construction engineering please tell, is this a pilling machine ? I heard some pilling noise, looks like they use the noisy pilling method ....

thanks tmc boss latest photos.........

yeah, agreed with oxm8 that the progress is slow........@@

anyway, its better than no progress =)

The staff there says they work day and night.

I am not civil engineer but if I were to make a guess, I think they use ancient piling technology.

most probably....i guess it has been close to 1 year since the day the snp signed.....

with the current speed of progress, are they able to deliver on time??
*
According to the info which I have, the SNP's where signed in multiple batches. Some batches are earlier and some are later. I guess you belong to the earlier batch if it's already close to 1 year.

But anyway need to monitor it closely. It might come to a complete halt if not careful.

They claimed that the soil is soft, thus need more piling

I see.

If that's the true reason, then I say it's good that they do extra piling. I hope there is proper sign off to this piling activities.

Huh? Not la, I am just small Potato...

I still remember signed SnP at the site Melati and then went to Klang (from Kl to Klang) for Developer panel Law firm.

Subsequently, no news and non follow up from them...

Received a call from devoleper last few weeks and asked to prepare the next 10% payment and to verify our hand phone are contactable....anyway, please get the works done first, we are always ready to pay.....

Does not mean much actually.

Got a few times of false alert already on the next payment schedule.

If you go to the site, you can still see quite a number of piles lying on the ground. Not sure how long does it take for all the piles to be driven into the ground.

Unless those are extra/redundant piles ......

According to fren who had checked with the uncle whom believed to be main-con on the site the other day, 

the slow progress due to the followings:-

1) Soil is too soft, more pilings are required than normal site....
2) The earlier pilings for abandoned shop-lots weren't sufficient, they have redo............
3) They have to stop work at 5pm sharp, as there's some complaints lodged by the residents nearby.....

Noted that's only one piling machine crane there which is really inadequate to cope the speed and fight with stipulated completion time-frame..........

but there's progress................better than nothing..................

Let's do some calculation.

Late interest charge, say = 10 % per annum
Let say it is late for 3 months,
Average property value, say 400,000
Total number of units = 412


10/100 * 3/12 * 400,000 * 412 = 4.12 million.

Is my calculation anything wrong ?

tmc boss, is that too early to calculate penalty interest??

completion of the building within stipulated timeframe is more important than anything else for every purchaser...........
*
I am just trying to highlight that it's a significant amount of money. If machinery is the bottleneck, it will be in the best interest of the developer to bring in more machinery to complete the job earlier than to "drag" the construction. I believe they should be at least a few months behind the stipulated schedule already.

When is the target vp date? And how much is the estimated progress at site now?
*
The S&P agreements were dated in multiple batches, I believe the first batch would be about 1 year already. As the standard agreement requires developer to VP after 36 months from SPA date, and since 1 year has passed, it would mean the developer have 2 more years to VP to the first batch buyer, and perhaps additional 1, 2 or 3 months for SPA dated subsequently.

Progress ? The developer hasn't even performed the first draw down yet, ie the work below the ground has not completed.

Based on these info, please determine for yourself to see how far it is behind the schedule.

Maybe at least meet up with the developer ?

Take a look at the Eve Suite lowyat forum maybe :-

Whether to meet the developer in Klang or not, I think it's secondary.

The thing is that the meet up must be considered representing a group of buyers and not individual. So far I think the buyers are mostly tidak apa.

Does anyone has the latest photos of the construction work?

Easier for us to judge the construction progress.

I called the developer and they said the 2nd progress billing could be out this month.
*
Do you know how many times the developer has mentioned the same thing to me already ? Every month they say the same thing, same sentence. cry.gif

I suggest you go to the site and look at the number of piles they have lying on the ground. And they only have one machine running now.

Thanks tmc.  They have been doing that to me as well. It is the 7 time already.

Deadline for completion will definitely miss.

Seriously I don't mind if they missed it and still able to complete.

My biggest concern is that this is a small time developer with small paid up capital. If they missed it too far and cash flow is running negative too much, they might consider drop it altogether.

I have just spoken to my sales agent from whom I have bought the property from. He last visited the site 2 months ago.  This is what I learnt from him: (Need to take this with a pinch of salt)

1) The developer has requested their banks to approve their 2nd disbursement. It is likely that we will get the 2nd progress payment claims in 2 months time.
2) Sub-basement completed or almost there. Developer has been expanding the road and infrastructre (near the food stalls) along Jln Madrasah.
3) Piling will take about 9 months (since they have the sub basement). Piling was slow in earlier parts of the year due to heavy rains at the site and soft soil. A few pilings have to be reworked.
4) Once piling is completed, the structure can be built relatively quick?
*
I say this is not true.

Item (1) :- 2nd disbursement is based on consultant engineer signing on approval of the stage completion and the letter should be sent to you as well. Did you ever get any progress billing letter ?

Item (2) :- I last visited the place just a couple of weeks ago, I still see the pilings lying on the ground and the piling machine working hard on one place.

Item (3) :- This might be true but sorry, if machinery is the limit, then they should increase the number of machineries.

I also agreed that most things may not be true. Hopefully the 2nd progress billing will come in November assuming if approved.

Nevertheless still need to monitor the project closely.
*
Haha did you notice that you are getting contradicting info already ?

1. The call you made to the developer says you will be billed this month.

2. The info you got from the agent says you will be billed in two months time.

I seriously don't understand why their billing has to get bank's approval.

Are they talking about their borrowing from the bank instead of your borrowing ? Sounds like the former.

I never have a good impression of the developer for the past few months. Don't waste time calling MPJ number, the lady answering the phone does not have an idea of the construction progress.

My sales agent said MPJ is waiting for the progress claim to be verified by the engineers before the bank can authorize their disbursement.

Ok that make sense.

Want to mention that today received the stage 2(a) progress billing which was dated 14th August and the stage completion certificate was dated 26 July 2013. I think I will go to site another time to make sure indeed the ground work has completed.
