Sometimes, readers need to be spoonfed also It's a forum bro, do contribute

+1 yes please share share your view hehe

never heard of crystal salt sauna.
dunno wat it is.

water salt pool is replacement for normal chlorine treated pool.
got pros and cons.
but generally more pros than cons.
have to be careful of materials used near the pool. salt water is highly corrosive.
all steel needs to be stainless grade 316 and above (marine grade). not just ordinary stainless steel 304.
am a little doubtful mayland is willing to play ball to go all the way for all ancillary materials to accommodate salt water pool.

aqua gym. more like gimmick.
just some cycles and gym equipment submerged in a pool. not a fan of it too.

700 units over how many towers btw?
pricing seems good if below 750psf for small unit.

2 Towers iirc

I think the main selling point is the location and whether you think it is a prime location for a condo or not.

Where most PJ newer condos have breached rm750psf.

Your consern on the salt water pool have trigger me to ask their SA further (kamchiong a bit since already booked). Was told by their SA that this project will be follow the Conquas standard. I'm just a ordinary person that don't know what the hack is it so the result from Google I managed to found:

INTRODUCTION

Quality workmanship is important in today's construction industry. The high quality achieved in building projects ensures future marketability and enhances the confidence of clients.

The Construction Quality Assessment System (CONQUAS â), introduced in Singapore since 1989, serves as a standard assessment system on the quality of building projects. A defacto national yardstick for the industry, CONQUAS â has been periodically fine-tuned to keep pace with changes in technology and quality demands of a more sophisticated population. In 1998, BCA introduced a number of new features to CONQUAS â resulting in the launch of CONQUAS â 21. Such refinements make CONQUAS â scoring more comprehensive and customer oriented. The latest CONQUASâ 8th edition was launched on 31 October 2012 to promote design and materials which support both high quality and productivity.

By using CONQUAS â as a standardized method of quality assessment, developers are able to use the CONQUAS â score to set targets for contractors to achieve and also assess the quality of the finished building.

Today, CONQUAS â is widely recognised and also accepted internationally as a benchmarking tool for quality. Indeed, countries like UK and Hong Kong have successfully adapted CONQUAS â to their construction industries. CONQUAS â is now a registered trademark in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong SAR, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa and India.

Hope this will keep me feel better. By the way, any completed project so far got this Conquas?

got 3 segments of conquas
1. architectural
2. Structural
3. M&E

I am layman but correct me if I am wrong. material selection is not part of conquas.

Also a lot of developers when they quote conquas... it's only for architectural ie on paper wise..

salt water pool (by using salt mostly in your chlorination) saved money and chlorine in the long run. But the salt water pump is more expensive than normal chlorine pump.
No..they dun import sea water to fill your pool. Just by buying bags of salt and mixed with normal water.

Crystalised mineral also another newer technology that can add to the pool to make the pool looks nicer and crystal clear. But I am not sure what is the purpose of putting them into sauna.

The rest I agree.

2 identical towers.

Went to have a site study recently, found the belows：
1) Quite closed to the HTC along NKVE, measured from google maps showing a diatance of around 350m.
2) The nearby Empire City project looks slow in progress.
3) The road condition for access from Bukit Lanjan is not so good, and quite difficult to notice the turning into the small road if you are not familiar and coming from BU direction.
4) The forest facing view is nice!

And I think the closest chinese primary schools are the one in BU and another one in Kepong near to DPC.

Conquas certified does not guarantee anything.
Its akin to an exam.
So the developer is telling you they registered for the exam.
No guarantees they will do well in the exam.
Malaysia equivalent to conquas is called qlassic.

So the salt water thingy has nothing to do with conquas.

Good luck

bump into this property showcase in the curve last weekend, the sales lady show me the price is actually 830++ for 930 sqft before rebate, work out around 800++ psft, how you guys got below 750? early bird discount?

I think 750psf is applicable for bigger size unit, i.e. 1351sqf

yes! u are correct! if you choose 1351sqft then you can get the price of RM750 psf.

after the early bird discount, u will get AVERAGE RM750psf.....is applicable for 1351sqft larh...
if 924sqft, slightly higher abit... it depends which floor you want to get...

Hi, im interested too. mind to share?

chrishchery, are you buying for own stay?
There are 2 things that hold me back:
1) HTC at 350 meters away
2) Empire Damansara possible to be abandoned?

I think you meant Empire City.

3) Single Access and Exit for all of Country Heights?

Yes bro, and for me, the access got pros and cons, but if Empire City is dead, then cham lor..because I saw many negative comments about this project (Empire City)..

If empire city already opened w all the high street brands...do u think mayland will still sell at 750psf???

This is what we all are hoping for, but Empire City got hope or not ah?
