The developer just need to deliver what it was like in the showroom.. purchaser bought the unit based on showroom design.. if the developer deliver as show in the showroom (design and quality), then whether purchaser like it or not is not their prob.. If the developer don't deliver as the showroom design and quality, then that is their prob.. We are not asking anything more or anything less.. we are just asking them to do their job.
if the developer provides clear glass, some will complain they want frosted glass. (the showroom clearly shows it is clear glass, if purchaser don't like it, don't buy, if they buy, they should complain if the developer provide clear glass.. Fair to the purchaser and fair to developer)
Those who want clear glass, they may complain the glass to be tinted so as to filter the sunlight (for those west facing units). - (The developer can provide clear glass.. it is up to the purchaser if they want to tinted it or not later (subject to if this is allowed under the management rules).. And again, the purchase should know it is a clear glass when they purchase.. So, i guess it will be fair if the developer just provide clear glass)
That is why each buyer has a different preference and not easy to manage all the purchasers' expectations. (we are not asking developer to please everyone, we are just asking them to deliver what they have shown in the showroom)
Guess you are the first time buyer or maybe the second time?
My experience tells me that the developer usually does not deliver 100% as per showroom. Showroom is usually an artist impression showcasing the impression and buyers' imgazination. They have the disclaimer clause somewhere to protect them.
If you file a complaint on the developer with Tribunal of House Buyers, the only legal documents that can substantiate your claim is the SPA and Architect Drawings. So before your file a complaint please check the relevant documents on the specs.
Unless the specification mentioned that the bathrooms windows are in clear glass, or else it is difficult to make a case on your complaint.
Open Space vs BedroomThe above pic was taken in the showroom. The "room" is actually a 3rd bedroom. But then the developer broke the wall and no door, make it an open space. So that the unit looks bigger. But in the SPA, the room is a closed bedroom with 4 walls and comes with a door. So in this case, the buyer cannot complain the developer why they dont deliver as per showroom (an open space for 3rd bedroom), as the SPA mentioned it is a 3rd room (4 walls + a door) with architect drawings.
Having said that, clear glass and frosted glass does not bother me much. From developer's perspective, it is logic to use frosted glass for bathroom, and clear glass for living/ dining rooms
