My gf got her new condo unit two month ago, and she just noticed that the ceiling height in her kitchen and bedroom are different. 9feet tall in kitchen, 8.7feet in bedroom. Can we take legal action against the developer? Or what can we do? We didn't hear anybody from the same condominium filed any complaints regarding this though. Is this case normal?

QUOTE(kelvyn @ Jun 21 2011, 09:05 AM)
It is normal for kitchen floors to be slightly lower than the living room, bedroom and dining room. The same goes for the bathroom as well. This is so that when you wash the floor (kitchen & bathroom) the water will not flow to the adjacent area (living, dining, bedroom)
The difference between 9' and 8.7' is about 3.5". This is the normal drop in the floor for kitchen & bathroom.

However, having said that, having a 8.7' ceiling height for a living room is a bit low. Imagine having to place a ceiling fan. my gosh.... cry.gif
A ceiling height of at least 9.5' clear would be best.

You may want to check your SPA to establish the ceiling height specified. Some developer specifies floor to floor height instead of ceiling height. The floor to floor height will be higher as you will need to deduct the floor thickness to establish the ceiling height. Thus, for sales purpose, normally developer/ marketing people will use floor to floor height instead.

thanks kelvyn, actually my contractor is the one who noticed that and advised me to voice out to get compensation, but i found no such specification in the snp agreement though, so i will just close the case. thanks again!!!! smile.gif

dear all,

i have bought a new condo unit, my first defect list was sent in mid april, regarding a lot of defects. they called me in may and said it's done, but when i collected the keys to check, the toilet still cannot be flushed properly, and the timber floors in all three bedrooms still got hollow sounds. i immediately wrote the second letter to ask them to fix the defects. it's been almost a month from the second letter, when i checked my house again, those problems were not done. i called the developer staff who was in charge, she was not helpful at all, she said she would check and get back to me, but no calls to me after a week! i just called up the management and explain my concerns, he called me back ten mins later to inform me that the toilet is fixed but the flooring not sure when can be fixed. but when i last checked, the toilet is not fixed! i am eagerly waiting for the floorings to be fixed, because i have booked my built in wardrobe dy. but they seem not care about my defect! i paid 800k for 1784sqf, this is not the kind of service i expected from this developer called Peter Holdings! Please advise. Thank you.
