I currently stay at Robson Condominium which was built by the Berjaya group. Completed in 1995. The water pipes provided are the galvanised steel type and it was already rusted by then. The floor tiles in my living room just popped last December near my bedroom and 5 tiles cracked as a result. Had to spend a fortune to replace the entire living room floor and the piping to the PVC type in one go.

Heard from the management that our unit is not the first to have the latter issue as it already affected a few other unit before ours.

Well, not to add more salt to the wound, when the contractor we hired checked on the cement material holding the original tiles, he pointed out that there is a lot of sand in it. I also noticed the same case for some of the walls in the bedroom. Only the walls which houses the beams are more solid. And yes, this shows how stingy Berjaya is. In terms of workmanship, still decent. No cracks whatsoever in my unit.

As for the galvanised pipes, well, that one only affects legacy condos, tho. Newer condos should be fitted with PVC piping by then.

Other than that, the unit size is pretty decent, with decent-sized bedrooms, except the small room near the entrance which is more to a store room than a proper bedroom.

Not trying to be overly negative here, but just want to let folks know what it's like living in a Berjaya project.

Wow, this bad?

5 years is way too soon for the tiles to pop up.

But so far I have not encountered humid walls in my unit from the time it's completed until now (over 20 years).

Wow, that's quite high. Even a more luxurious project such as IJM's Inwood and Secoya didn't breach RM 0.30/sf and the density is much lower.

Workmanship is okay based on my experience staying in an old Berjaya condo.

Just that they're obviously stingy in parts of the unit. Such as using more sand in the cement for floors and certain non-load bearing walls (walls with no beams).

Do you have an issue with young people getting help from their parents to purchase their first property, even if they service their housing loan instalments and maintenance fees diligently without fail?
