ASAP bro.. Hopefully it will have minimal defect and can start install fitting and reno soon

i see.
i am researching the pros and cons too. just worry about the durability

Congrats on your new home! Just a couple of things for your consideration:

1. Purchasing bulky appliances online - will they cover actual transportation and carrying in your home too? Also, some physical stores may have better deals than online too. And less risky for warranty-related matters too.

2. 8mm laminated flooring - for something like flooring which really is quite permanent and difficult to replace, maybe you can consider getting thicker 12mm versions. It may serve you better in the long run. Of course, that's not to say 8mms are not good. Just something for you to consider

Here's to a stress-free and smooth journey for you!

1. True, and noted. Will use discretion when purchasing. If its a reputable online shop then worth considering.

2. It is nice to have the higher end version of everything but I have to be disciplined to try and stick within the budget.

Nearly two weeks since the CCC was released but my bank has yet to make the final disbursement so I still cannot collect my keys.

Went to the home branch yesterday to speak to my banker and she has promised to expedite the process.

In the meantime, have decided to go for primarily eyeball downlights for the whole house. Philips casing + Philips MR16 bulb with built in driver.

The 1st draft 3D rendering has been completed for the kitchen and master bedroom. Optimising slightly before sharing it here.

Exciting times!

Any recommendation for wiring + plaster ceiling + minor hacking for wiring / relocate air-cond point / hot water piping contractors? Puchong area.

Did you survey the price of philips casing & bulb? How much per set?

Very cheap compared to market. I can get for around RM30 if you are interested.

Lazada selling casing for RM25, bulb for about RM17.

No la I got mine already. GU10 bulb...

Hello neighbour! word is, I heard that quality ratings for N'dira are the highest in IOI project development history - to their own surprise as well. BUT.. keeping fingers crossed until actual VP and own inspection.

Very nice sink. Had been using this brand sink for 10 years and still in pretty good condition

Wow good to hear neighbour!

Bank has disbursed the final payment and we will be collecting our keys on Thursday (assuming that I do not have any work emergencies)!

Once we get the keys, we will inspect our unit using the following guideline:

QLASSIC Quality Guide for Homeowners

Do update your post here! interested to follow the progress of your reno. Based on IOI's own assessment, Ndira achieved 85%. They usually hover around 80 plus-minus. but 85% is a first for them. I am not an expert, can't tell if its a good score or not.

Collected the keys on Thursday and spent some time over the weekend to roughly check for any major defects.

Generally the finishing was not too bad and all defects that we found were relatively minor. Will do a thorough check and list down the defects properly next weekend.

Quite pleased some of the fittings used; quite decent quality stuff i.e. tiles from Niro and power plugs from Schneider Electric.

Surprised with a few things though; mostly that many of the ceilings are plaster ceilings already and that there was a proper shower screen included in the master bedroom.

Met up with our kitchen cabinet contractor as well as a general contractor at the house on Saturday for some discussions and to get a preliminary quote from the general contractor.

Can't wait to start work!

Exciting time ahead!

Just submitted my defects form yesterday. Generally nothing major, but plenty of minor defects here and there.

However, there was one spot above the kitchen where I spotted a light watermark stain. Slightly worrying but it seemed dry though.

How can I get the defects team to look into this watermarked area properly instead of just painting it over?

Hi neighbour, I'm lower Type A unit intermediate.
Just collected my key last week and yet to do defect checking due no water supply yet.
Can see some dry water stain mark on downstair bathroom and upper floor 2nd bedroom bathroom ceiling.
Others not really go through yet as waiting for water supply to come in (being informed this week should have water already)

I have heard that the meters will be installed starting Wednesday...

Hi neighbour
I'm type a lower unit end lot as well
Going to collect my key this Sat
Overall apart from the water stain
Any other major defects/problems?

No major defects apart from the water stain. Generally the standard of finishing was respectable.

Some common issues we found:
1. Paint stains outside windows
2. Scratched / chipped / dented window frames
3. Dented / chipped doors
4. Minor hairline cracks on walls
5. Stained granite counter tops

If you really want, can overlook the above defects and start renovation immediately if you are not particular about these things.

The developer has acknowledged receipt of my defects this morning and will start work almost immediately.

So far didn't notice any major defect.
