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?

What is your concern about the piling?

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

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. sweat.gif

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.

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.

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?

Yeap all sharing the same facility. U shape. Facility in middle.

Facilities will also be completed at scheduled time.

Just the 3rd block LOLLLLL~~~~~~~~~ +_+
