yes, u have to apply the tnb meter yourself. appoint a electrician as runner to speed up ur application. the developer had released his responsible to this project. This is very common problem for project in other state.

You should be happy that developer still giving u final chance to lodge in defect even after 2 years later. bersyukurlah

even under HAD, the clause still apply.

dont give wrong advise.

u still can do reno even with no TNB electricity.

for all the properties (that I bought and my friends bought), when VP was given, the water and TNB meter was alreadt installed.

In fact like 3 mths before VP, Developer send notice to ask buyers to pay Water / TNB Deposit and fill up the necessary forms.

This case, advice TS to ask HBA - National House Buyers Association for help

once you started reno, it will becoming more difficult to claim yr defect list.......

sure, only reputable developer will ensure all meter installed before VP.

One of my project even having complication to get hold TNB meters due to shortfall of TNB power juice. We have prepare ourself for VP without meter to avoid back fire LAD, but luckily.........

reno doesnt void your DLP. its only need justification between both parties

It is always adviseable only to start reno after all major defects have been identified and rectified to avoid Developer assigning the blame that the reno caused the defects

So this is the minor finding, just the major one is the item (5), dun know which stupid fellows pour all the cement into the pipe and block all the water flowing down.. The rest I guess I can do it and ask someone to fixed it.

1. water leaking at sink.
2. all the door knob are rust (master room, room 1, room 2 and room 3, main door, store room)
3. Door at room 1 are cracked.
4. water flow is stuck at all 3 toilets at 2 floor, the pipe are block by cement.
5. Handle at ladder are start rusting.
5. Window frame is cover with cement
6. toilet and 2 room water pressure is slow.
7. Fagus and water mark on the wall (dining room and master room).

all these are very minor defects except the choked underground piping

i got your point, Peri gor

what do u think if market demand no good, will developer give 18 months maintenance also for subsales unit ?

nope, the contractor cant survive 18 months without being paid. defect rectification is a "losses" to them

Thats why when time is bad in year 2008, SP setia is the one who initiated 18 + 18 DLP, im one of the main contractor there, and this stupid concept had damaged our financial badly.

learn something from here
good

main con already hardly survive, imagine those sub cons with the main con, die standing.

thats why i dont ever tender SP works anymore.

peri kor, i thought it was an industry norm for contractors to already mark up 10% to 15% for the DLP

So, if the cost is only RM100, contractor will quote RM110 to RM115 so that they collect additional cash upfront while waiting for DLP

In fact some contractor already forsee not being paid after DLP and mark up even higher.

Not the case anymore

check all the pipe, saluran, lights, electrical points, cracks.

for the tiles, bring guli and roll in on the floor. if got air you can hear the difference in sound. sooner or later it will explode if not replaced.

Check the handwork - painting, door installation, piping, joints, etc and make sure everything is good - esp painting. Some contractors did not paint it level - some place thinner than the other.

Check all the keys for door is correct. check the ceiling for leakage.

anyhow, u buy from developer with waranty. Just claim if got any problem later, as long as the problem is not caused by your own renovation.

18 + 18 DLP is between SP setia and house owner right ?
they (SP setia) need to pay for the contractor to fix those defects,

18 + 18 was their marketing strategy to attract more buyers, how come ask contractor to bear the cost of repairing ?

no bro, too many fluctuation cost and inflation cost happening. 10% to 15% can become negative in most cases.

fuel hike, material hike, manpower hike, tnb bill hike, water bill hike, wastage on site by incompetent workers, thief in site, changes of contract by developer, changes of design by developer, under quote, pro long construction time, bad site management and etc.

all these will affect the small marginal of profit estimated. somemore another 5% retained in contract by developer.

Not easy to survive as main con or sub con

there are no developer in malaysia will pay main con for defects rectification. If main con dont rectify, developer will forfeit the main con 2.5% contract amount.

You see the game? main con is like a hostile.

Tot contractor earns a lot tim.....
