I guess there will be certain lots on the facilities floor which will be rented to mini market or cafe operators to operate. With population 928 units of 3 rooms condo, the operators should be able to make it
*
Now i remember there are a couple of units at the 7th floor (entrance floor facing the Phase 2) are kept empty and unsold, particularly at Block A. Not sure about other blocks though.

It should be good to have some mentioned facilities.

The facebook admin mentioned need access card to go into the forest, so the forest is private and can only be accessed by the residents.

Hi everyone, can anyone give advise for Type D owner as the master bedroom's bathroom glass is given frosted glass
comparing with the clear glass in showroom unit and DF video.

How come the ending product is frosted glass and not clear glass as usual?
No matter how pretty the view is and how much we pay for the view is useless,
because frosted glass has stop us seeing view though the glass.

At this situation, can us ( Type D owner ) do something or take some action into this matter?
As S&P didn't mention this matter at first.

Hopefully can get some advise from you guys, much appreciation.
Thank you.

Not all units facing greens, some units facing other blocks, some lower floor where the bathrooms are visible from the garden deck.
Considering this, developer may see the logics of using frosted glass for bathrooms to ensure privacy.

Having said that, other than bathrooms, the living/bedrooms need to be clear glass. My personal view

Could we complain for the highfloor unit and switch over?
*
the modus operadi is as such:
developer appoints main contractors, main contractors appoint subcontractor, subcontractors appoints their suppliers, for this case, it's glass suppliers.

During the appointment, the developer provides the specs to the main contractor and they will pass down the specs to the chain of suppliers.
Usually, all specs are standard across all units. It will be difficult to use different glass for different units at different level.

if the developer provides clear glass, some will complain they want frosted glass.
Those who want clear glass, they may complain the glass to be tinted so as to filter the sunlight (for those west facing units).
That is why each buyer has a different preference and not easy to manage all the purchasers' expectations.

I am not speaking for or finding excuses for the developer. I just look from the macro/ overall perspective and the logic behind the developers'/ contractors' decisions.

Each buyer has the own preferences on whether the glass shall be clear glass, tinted, painted or frosted.

Not easy to make everyone happy as everyone has their own reason on what developer shall provide.

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 Bedroom

The 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

for discussion's sake.
if the developer/architect was tasked to determine whether it should be clear or frosted glass, logically they should have and would have opt for clear glass.
reasoning is pretty obvious, clear glass should be cheaper compared to frosted and also because the selection is reversible (i.e. can opt for lamination later). if they have gone with frosted to begin with, then the decision becomes irreversible.

unless they have green requirements to fulfill and frosted glass enables them the points they require which is cheaper than providing clear low e glass or double glazing.

anyway, it could be just a lamination that they have yet to peel to reveal the final surface?
*
Maybe the developer is not considerate enough.
They shall make all bathroom clear glass first, then when handover, based on the individual buyers' needs, frosted lamination shall be provided for free by filling up forms.
Frosted lamination shall be very cheap, done few times on my other properties, and cost me 100-200 the most.

I know you're investment or flipper king.
It's because you're not for own stay that's why you don't bother whether it's clear glass or frosted glass.
Every purchaser have their own point.
When purchaser lay down in the bath tub, they can enjoy their sky view or forest view.
If they don't want, they can choose to cover it with window blind or curtain just like what they did in the showroom unit.
*
I bought low floor facing garden deck. Transparent glasses in bathrooms is a no-no to me.
Unless I can rent to exhibitionists tenants. Those Like to see and to be seen when taking showers.

I just shared what could be done when filing a complain with tribunal. Being an investor doesn't means I can accept sub standard end products.

Sales gallery is under construction now.
The best time to talk to the developer is after the Vp. We cant take any action by just checking on few pics shared in the facebook.

What we are trying to discuss here is developer is not doing what they promised. Can see that even before handover the key. Yes logical sense that frosted glass is better for low floor garden view.for atleast half of they buyer here, this is a good news.for others highfloor buyer who pay extra for the view definately is not the case.

Though this is beneficial for you but doesnt mean that you dont need to add on curtain like the show unit as the window is really big,though is frosted glass,ppl inside might still be seen.human nature they will request to have additional protection if they are not the like to be seen type, hence curtain is unavoidable. So it is real pointless to make it frosted.

With bad name and complain like that,you as investor will not like to see this as it may affect your rental n reselling value. Hence earlier you have try to talk sense with the rest of us here. Which is nice. As though i bought this for own stay, i dont want too much of complain end up delaying the process of moving in too.

But this definately doesnt mean we should give in just like that for some obvious changes (im talking about the door here, the tiles and other we yet to see)

Hence i sincerely hope you can stand at the same side as a buyer regardless investor or own stay.

Tq...and i am not here to fight but here to hope to get understanding and unity for our home sweet home.

Different ppl have the different expectation. Even different own occupiers would have different requirements.
I would like to see the end products first before decide on my next move. As shared, you can't make a case against the developer by just looking at few pictures shared in the facebook.

I agree with Cheah because I am in the same boat, transparent glasses for bathrooms are a hell-no to me.

Perhaps the developer used frosted glass for uniformity in the building's aesthetics.

If clear glass was used, you could potentially see all sorts of tints, blinds, curtains and exhibitionists of different colors. tongue.gif

Thanks for seeing the same logic as me.
The developer would have the hard time to meet all different 928 units' requirements.

So far there is no precedent where buyers can successful claim/ sue developers over the "artist impressions" postured in the show unit, or video clip.
Need to be realistic in our claims.

I believe there is at least one case where buyers successfully sued the developer for grossly misleading prior to Vped....
