Is this also applies to condominium?
Worried if i flood whole house it will disturb electricity etc all.

no, they not allowed to drag the issue unattended. read your SPA, there are timeframe stipulated. from the date u lodge the defect, they still fail to attend, then write to SO and Developer that you will engage your own contractor to rectify. All cost will be deducted in stakeholder remaining money before DLP end.

we have lodged the defect half year ago before DLP, but they takes no action to repair it. Now LDP passed, JMB has lodged to mpsj to hold their stakeholder money ready.

Good afternoon to all, a few questions from a first home owner here :

1. May i know upon handing over of keys to us (owner) and we submit the defects list, do we also let them have a set of keys as they need to enter to rectify the defects?

2. If there are no water supply yet (no meter installed), how do we do water ponding test in the toilets?

3. Does anyone check on the electrical wirings as well (megger, continuity)?

4. How do we prevent our fixtures (tap, sink, switches etc) from being stolen since no grilled installed or do we call for grill installation right away and lock our units?

btw, its a double story house. non g&g

Appreciate the advices.

2) Tiles & Floor
The Tiles & Floor include kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, floor tiles and cornices.

Tiles - Missing/Cracked/Chipped/Slanting

Missing and damaged Tiles & Floor are easy to spot for defects. However it's not easy to check for hollow tiles which are due too little plaster underneath.

The danger is the tiles can come off or crack if not remedied. Tap on tiles and if they sound hollow mark it out as a defect anyway and get the contractor to fix it.

Also make sure that the joints between the tiles are properly filled in with plaster. If you notice deep gaps make sure they fill it in.

Gaps in the Wall Skirting


Not many other defects on the tiles everything is fine as far as I can tell!

3) Doors & Windows

Doors and Windows are fairly easy to check. Ensure that doors and windows easily open and unobstructed. Check for shoddy workmanship like missing screws, damage and rust.

Also ensure that everything is properly installed and there are no large gaps between the door and window frames. It's also a good time to check for water damage since windows not properly installed will leak during heavy downpour.

Check also that rubber seals for the windows are intact.

4) Miscellaneous Fixtures

Check the developer's inventory list for missing fixtures and accessories. You'll usually get a list of items that come with your home such as the number of electrical points, taps, sink, shower heads and etc.

Check the list thoroughly and make sure nothing is missing!

BEFORE:



AFTER:



Yup the sink was missing so was the wiring, seems some gawd damn thief carted away those items from our finished unit.

5) Leaking Pipes

Leaking Pipes are also easy to detect, check the exposed piping for leaks or walls where the pipes run through for water stains.

Query the developer on where the pipes in your unit are; in future it will help to prevent accidents due to accidental nailing or drilling. You don't want to hang a picture frame and puncture a pipe all in one go.

I'll end it here, I'll start inspecting more of the unit tomorrow and post extra pictures once I'm done.

Feel free to comment and suggestions/improvements are welcomed!

hi guys. in HDA and in SNP there is clause describing the completion of common facilities stating that the commong facilities of the development shall be completed by Vendor within 36 calendar months from the date of agreeement (SNP). The vendor architect shall certify the date of completion of common facilities.

If the vendor fails to complete the common facilities in time, vendor shall pay immediatelyto purchaser liquidated damages to be calculated from the day of the rate of 10% per annum of the last 20% of the purchase price.

Is the Completion of Common facilities tied to the VP? if the VP obtained late, does this mean purchaser have the right to ask for the LAD including common facilities with the same duration?

Hi, my property after doing flood test found out there is leaking from master bedroom toilet.

Contacted developer, first time they came with some cement and white stuff to put in between tiles. Still leak.

Second time came with PU injection , inserted three places . Still leak.

Is there any other suggestion how to proceed?
