Thanks brother. It is helpful.

By the way, do you know why the developer so celaka always want to pay lesser to us? Hoping for sohai to accept it?

pay less ma. ask u to do the settlement. anyway is there any community for ur condo purchaser? they should have also discuss the same thing. those who don't know and accept the less amount then developer loss less lo

Well, i must say the law is not on the purchaser side. Instead of saying purchaser is entitled to, it shld make developer pay up automatically when delay happens.

no la. purchaser entitle to. but now is developer counter offer v lower amount. if purchaser know what he sign surely he know

but also there are different scenario. if the developer delay a lot and incur a lot losses, and likely is in the midst of insolvency, then u rather accept this 13k or even he went into insolvency u get nothing

Hi, i had viewed a Mah Sing project called Lakeville recently. The sales guy told me that this is commercial land but under HDA so it is consider as residential land and utilities follow residential land rate. I was confused as i thought utilities rate should follow the land title. Anyone can explain to me? Thanks.

Hi, what is the average amount of concrete and steel bar in mt to be use for a unit terrace house. ?

Hi.

Want to know. In a multi block condo. Will there be a risk if some blocks completed and get key. While some blocks still in construction ?
Will the structure still be sound?

How to know they have done piling works.? Or if they start piling late will completed blocks be effected?

I m not capable of answering this. But quantity surveyor and Civil engineer should be able to help you.

In development, it is quite common to have phase by phase completion. So technically this can be done and not much issues.
But no one can guarantee things for sure.
There is also different types of piling that some will less** affect nearby building.

We also have dilapitation report, where we survey nearby existing building condition. If ex building has cracks the owner wont take advantage and blame it on the new development. However if previously no crack and because of piling work, new crack is found then they will be liable.

Also, have u heard of highland tower incident?

Highland Tower incident?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Towers_collapse

What is your concern about the piling?

Just wondering is it normal to have different building completed at different time. Haha

Normally will be around 4 to 6 mt. for steel bar.
Concrete, if my memory is good, you can simply estimated more o less about 25m3. And included varies of grade.

Thank you for your reply leonard73. In fact I just finished calculated it to be 4.9 Mt for steel bar. But my concrete is around 49 m3. With slab thickness around 115mm on average. Beams size on average is 200 x 450.

hi, the developer can request the authority to get them approve for using normal rate for residential.

for residential condominium, example XXX Condominium that consist of 3 block, it has to be complete the 3 block then only it will get the CCC (certificate of completion compliance). then VP will take place and u get the key. however in certain scenario partial completion could be allowed by authority.

I believe u talk about different project. just another block built at adjacent to the completed 1.

u will never know whether they done piling or not as u have no access to the drawing. ur management office do have a set of as built drawing copy. which mean what had been actually built would be recorded in the that set of drawing. and this case u just need to have faith they done the work thoroughly. just like having faith when u cross the green traffic light, opposite car won't against the red light and bang u.

highland tower case are more on construction work in slope / high ground. as per the finding of the court case, various of consultant didn't done the job well by discover the adjacent ground condition and etc. the design for the building to support itself is sufficient but the consideration of adjacent ground condition is not achieve.

I think when they going to do the piling work, if there are building close to the project they will use hydraulic jack piling method. more pricey method of driving the pile. it won't cause much vibration like usual hammering method.

for budgeting sake, client usually will use 150kg for every 1m3 of concrete. ur 4.9tonne should be the actual weight I suppose

Nope. I'm talking about a XXX Condo that have 3 blocks and it will have one block completed later than the other two. Launching of the 3rd block is being delayed.

According to them, the first 2 blocks will be delivered as per schedule, but the 3rd block will be built up meanwhile.
They are using the space of the 3rd block to house their cement plant and etc.


I guess I have to have some faith. Haha. and hope they are not stupid/too greedy.


Ooooo. learnt sumting new today. I thought piling was always the hammering type~~~

that would be unusual if 3 block within same project. example the 3 block should be sharing the same facilities like gym room swimming pool etc. that facilities completed?
