My sister just bought a condo and already signed S&P.

I saw her unit floor is near to water pumping room.
Will it be noisy? Her unit is a few units fr the pumping place...

Any disavantage?

Thanks... The developer just written *Amenity *.
Didn't mention pumping room

Depends if it is a high end place or low end place.

Most high end places you won't hear a thing.

Low end ones, noisier by the lift shaft.

first thing first..

WHICH CONDO?

Cancel SPA

Already signed and disbursement given months ago..

Can cancel?

pls state condo name for us to have better discussions

Wow condo got water pumping room... I. Didn't even know..

Assuming its a decent condo, few units distance wouldn't hear anything. I don't even hear next door unit's TV..
From experience I would be more concerned about proximity to swimming pool (noisy kids on weekend mornings when u wanna sleep in)

I always scared water tank leak. Worse, built not according to spec and crash down units below. Always buy above watrr tank. 😁

Is tat a pump or a break tank???

Water pump room by design and building regulations, minimum must have double layer brick walls with solid rc roof/floor. Also the doors must be fire rated door which also acts as a noise barrier. Depending on the design of the system itself usually water pump have 2 units, fire protection having 2 units, 1 for sprinkler and 1 for hose reel. These pumps only works when there is a fire. For water pumps, 1 shall be duty and the other standby. So at 1 time only 1 will be using. Usually the noise should be negligible. Only issues would be if there is some maintenance/repair works, it will get busy along your corridor if it is the only access to the room.

What you do not want is to have your condo next to a AHU room, and/or above or below directly for that matter. This is the airconditioning system that have huge air handling units, ducting, filters, etc etc. These equipment are noisy and they do vibrate too.

So, her unit should be alright?
Same floor, but a few units away

Just Facebook message the developer, it's water supply system....
It takes up 3 units of condo (around 2700 Sq feet)

Yup that should be alright in my experience.

What is AHU room?

Air handling unit = AHU = Air-conditioning system. AHU different from split unit AC, but both supply cool air.

AHU room have big capacity fans, thus noise is an issue.

Water pump room by design and building regulations, minimum must have double layer brick walls with solid rc roof/floor. May i know this under what guideline and regulation ?

Good luck. I would try avoid that. If her unit is on the same floor but a few units away. Most likely OK. However, it really depends on the workmanship of the builder and the pump vibration dampers.

If osk u better run and cancel deal..

Their penang wolfsbury lately tank pecah

There are chances will be noise.
But she already signed everything, so...
