Yup, developer's QC make a lot of difference.
And, the bigger the developer is, lower quality materials they will be using. QC sometimes also not up to standard.
A developer will only start a project when they can use rm1000 to make rm20000, as part of the money have to channel to government and MO*****.

Well, if you are under the construction line or know the right person, you will know how much profit they can make.
Not to mention big developers does not sell properties, they only speculates the price.
Like diesel price went up, curing time for red bricks were 1 hour, they reduce it to 5 minutes, at the end, price of bricks went up but quality drops.
Cement price went up? No problem, they will prefab the walls, which reduce manpower significantly.
Roof tiles also same, using industrial zinc, 5 days complete few rows compare to using roof tiles, 5 days 1 house.
"Big" developers can "run" away as out of 10 properties being sold, only 1-2 are real buyers buying for own stay.
You're talking out of partial ignorance.
Where got developer "will only start a project when they can use rm1000 to make rm20000"? That kind of profit ratio does not apply.
What are you talking about curing time for bricks? Curing time is for cement, for bricks you need to refer to firing time. And even if diesel price goes up, the brick maker won't reduce from 1 hour to 5 minutes. That is pure exaggeration on your part.
Roof tiles - if your building spec already mentions roof tiles then it's not so easy to just switch to "industrial zinc".
