No cement screed?

It supposed to have.

Now you need to apply water proofing to whole surface of your concrete roof than apply cement screed with good water flow.

How big is the roof?

If only water proofing, then u need to apply water proofing material than only cement screed.

Beware of the gradient.

For this works i think you cant diy coz screeding need proper job.

Source of leaking is water from your bathroom so you need to bear it.

Redo the waterproofing is 95% confirm the leak wont come back.

If pump grouting is cheaper and easy but always leak comeback.

are you asking for your own property?
Should be stated in your S&P agreement.
May refer link below but it could be very outdated.

I believe he is not asking for defects liability period (dlp).

Latent defects is if i am not mistaken a defects that we discover after dlp finish.

Share my opinion.. I could be wrong, but hope at least i am making sense.. hehe.
Best person to answer this question will be people from developer or Quantity surveyor, aka cost controller.

During design and planning stage, usually the developer will keep a data / spreadsheet of all the cost of the projects.
That includes all the consultants fees, land cost, project budget (contract sum of the projects), their internal cost (project team, marketing, admin, etc), authority clearance fee / contribution, and other unforeseen cost, etc.

From there, they will work backward to to see the Net Sale-able Area to determine the selling price of the units. So that is how they pass this info to the marketing team and thus the selling price is revealed to all the buyers.
Sometimes could be other way round which means the marketing team done a survey what is the market requirement.. like what size of the units are preferred, what must be provided, facilities, and affordable price by the people for that properties. Then the project will work to meet the budget.

To answer your question, each party mark up how much for profit.
Depends on how you see it.
Developer just have to take note all the cost as i mentioned above. Perhaps u might be asking how much contractor has mark up each items to their client / developer.
Maybe take an example of supply of floors tiles.
Floor tiles supply this at one price, then local distributor mark up it and sell it to the floor tiles contractor. And there is X contractor won a contract from developer. X contractor sub-contract it to Y contractor to run the show where they appoint the floor tile contractor to do the job.
So you can decide how much things has been marked up from there. (of course sometimes contractor also getting bulk supplies with cheaper price, but have to cost in for installation cost, warranty / defects ).
Hope that answer your question.

In a way, developer may be able to sell at cheaper price if they have their own construction team. (developer cum contractor.. but not always the case).

Previously i worked with developer than seconded to main con.

Not really cost saving because whatever we do not for profits but for developer status.

Ok, i have to admit i don't really understand what is latent defect.

Altho google explains it is " a fault in the property that could not have been discovered by a reasonably thorough inspection before the sale."

It didn't really explain its relation compare to DLP. And the only thing that come into my mind is.. does it only apply to sub-sale or "build and sell" type property where the property is already completed?
(Correct me if i am wrong as i am here just to learn more.)

Maybe "life's not fair" should share a bit more details?

This term 'latent defects' only come in final days in my construction industry when i attend my last seminar. I did ask my architect regarding this but i can't remember his explanation.

So im not really familiar with this term. In 10 years my experience no home owner ever brought latent defects issue when all developers try cuci tangan when dlp finish.
