To start the ball rolling, would try to list down as many developers as possible here and please try to provide feedbacks (eg. good, bad, high-end, expensive, affordable, quality, delays, etc)

Looks good, but will squeeze every single cent from their launch price. After completion, refuse to spend extra money for buyers. Example 16 Sierra, still no Unifi connection due to developer refusal to pay the money to Telekom. - robert82
They deliver house and infra, nothing more. Unifi - no. landscape - as it is. But they are reasonable if your demand is reasonable (no need BIG buck). They do fix your house if needed & reasonable. After sales follow up are good too. But limited to "reasonable low cost" thing only. - linkor

Developers are getting more creative nowadays.
I kinda enjoyed new tag line by some developers.
Eg. Mahsing's lakeville commercial, ocr's come home adverts, etc.
New terminalogy such as quart villa.
Dual key featuring horizontal split, vertical split or even unit within unit.
Exciting times ahead.
Any updates on developer and their reputation after mapex?

My advise is don't buy from this developer.  I just received my keys to Subang Parkhomes and the quality is extremely bad.  Price psf is RM625 but the finishing is like low cost.

Common area finishing is terrible.  These areas are not shown in brochure so when they deliver the final product to you, you will then know how cheapskate this developer is.  The entrance to my lift lobby is cement rendered!!! The car parks are full of cement patches everywhere.  I thought I bought a low cost house!!

Leaks are everywhere and some areas is a hazard for kids.  Barricade between garden area and the car park below is just horizontal bars with gaps that a kid can fall through.  This barricade runs through the entire development so kids can fall if you don't keep a close eye on them.

I was told by a lady who had her unit's bathroom floor changed and the contactor said that the water proofing is thin and poorly done.  Not sure how bad it is as I didn't see it with my own eyes.

Watch out for this developer!

monoland - terrible quality, two ac share one compressor with no room to add additional, gates down many times within first year, lift malfunctioned twice in first year, lobby already looks like a bomb went off, did i mention building is less than a year old?, car park is so tight that the walls are already full of car scratches, developer keep delaying defect repairs..

fyi, the 2 ac 1 compressor thingy is what we call a multisplit unit. the more advance version would be VRV series where 1 compressor can serve more than 1 or 2 ac and over longer distances.

and mind you these multisplit or VRV can be more expensive than purchasing 2 single split units.

main advantage of these are supposedly helps in space planning.
but downside is potentially higher cost of operation and also one down, all down scenario.

but fully noted on the other valid complaints.

What about Hap Seng ?

cash rich.
cautious.

they are something like ppsb and igb.
slow.
overly cautious at times.
guarantee completion.

but unlike ppsb and igb, they have yet to find their identity.

when people think about ppsb, they recognise dpc instantly.
igb, and big corporate, mv and quality development comes into mind.

hs? they did nadi, horizon, puchong alpinia, etc. but there are no binding dna with all these projects so it's a bit hard to associate a certain branding to them.
