Which house by any developer don't hav hairline cracks? There are plenty of reasons for the cracks, one of it is weather and another is shear force for building which has ntg to do with developer.

Show house is an actual unit with actual material? Or just a unit which constructed with non actual material...later to demolish?

As said there are many causes to it, however it is quite common even you spot any hence nothing to shout about. If you'd purchased new properties b4, and it's due to poor workmanship, you can immediately see it during VP and lodge defect report and developer will definitely fix it for you.

More often those cracks might only appear after years. After all - the hairline cracks is something you cannot quantify or predict before getting the key. I don't think a house with 10 years old is with zero hairline cracks tho.

I'm an owner at Tropicana Aman... I wish i could say Tropicana Aman's quality/material/design is top notch...

Unfortunately compared to Gamuda, Tropicana is a joke... 100+ defects identified during VP and 200 days later still not rectified

They have an App for owner to register guest... then generate a QR code which you can pass to your guest to scan at the guard house..

I checked mine.. its not working

true, i did saw some old units without hairline cracks too... maybe the dev need improve their QC before VP..

Best entrance currently i feel is Dalia...

Not that their entrance is nicer then others but for the fact that there is a roundabout RIGHT infront of the entrance, which made it look like the roundabout is part of the entrance making it very grand/nice

None of the tropicana Aman A B C D so far has 2 layer gates... i suppose its a low density strata, if there is any tail gating, the security can spot/go after them.

Rubbish developer, so expensive house use sand bricks?

red brick too having hairline crack. may refer to houses in eco sanctuary.

dont get offended, i am sharing even red brick has hairline crack issue.

I think if you are really concern about house hairline crack issue. Perhaps you can wait until the house is completed then only buy(buy subsale) or you can always buy some other township etc. Plenty to choose from nowadays.
Same thing with red bricks vs etc bricks . You don't like the brick that they use , don't buy. Nobody is forcing you to buy and you have other options.

I agree with you that its interesting why Elemen showhouse has hairline crack so early. Do you have photo to share ?
I have to go see it myself.
Perhaps you should not buy the Elemen and should look for other houses etc. I don't know the decision is yours.
The thing is, hairline crack is not a unique issue to Canal city.
Many other locations and developers  have these type of issue also. It is really on a case by case basis and house by house basis.

I think the main concern is if we have any major land settlement issue here in Canal city.
We all know we have some issues in earlier phases e.g Bandar Rimbayu Chimes and Tropicana Aman Bayan . It only affect only a few selected houses and developers are working on rectifying the issues.
Developers(Tropicana and IJM) are well aware of the issue they face in their earlier phases.
I own a Cheria. It has been VP'ed for approx. 8 months now.
We have not seen any major or any land settlement issue at Cheria.

Good luck with your Elemen.
If you are worry or don't like the brick type etc. Just cancel your booking lah. No big deal. Plenty of choices nowadays. Most important thing is you are happy with your purchase. 

Frankly hairline occurs on almost every landed property. It could be from various reasons and most of the time does not affect the structural integrity of the building. Just plaster over it and repaint. Personally I feel it shouldnt factor in as a consideration whether we should get the property or not, but thats just me.

Location wise - some people say too far from KL city lah, traffic jam lah etc.
Location is relative- I prefer closer to KLIA vs KL city. Besides, if ones have flexi hour work time or can work from home.(and I believe it is going to be more common post covid19), distance from KL city may not be as important.
At TA location, most neighbourhoods are within walking distance or biking distance to school (Chinese school and International school)...for some people, that is an important factor for their teenage kids more so than their driving distance to their workplace.
I think you focus too much on 'hardware' e.g. the house, the bricks LOL

To me, the 'software' is more important e.g. the demographics, the community
To be honest, I am totally blown away by my Cheria neighbours - a good mix of capable like minded professionals and business people working together to help each other and for the betterment of our neighbourhood.
I feel like my Cheria neighbourhood will be in good hand to be managed by these smart, friendly and capable folks.

Good luck deciding on your Elemen. There is no perfect house or perfect decision. You just need to make up your mind and move forward.

No jam? You would be in for a surprise hehe
