What is the owner group for?
One word, it keeps you “sane”.
You won’t think you are encountering the entire worlds problem on your own. Also, developer won’t think you are a crazy mental person who keep complaining and giving feedback non-stop as though u have been in the construction line for ages.
The Concerto and the KM1E owner group, which I am part of, I have seen many advantageous and I am willing to share my experience with everyone. From the moment you receive your VP letter to the defects in your parcel and the all-important common area defects.
Example:-
For parcel defects: people don’t realize the same problem can actually be replicated throughout the development. For instance, in one of the group, initially we all thought the “sunken bath” leakage was an isolated issue. The developer started to korek here and there to patch the leak, this turned out to be a complete fail and the leak continued. This was conveyed to the group. In the end, after much pressure, it was decided that the sunken bath required to be replaced in its entirety.
Common area defect, one of the most neglected and uncared for subject matter even though its provided in the SPA. One of our biggest catch, we found out that the lift for various blocks were faulty.
