Hi forks

I’m seeking advice if any know there’s a min ceiling height imposed for a condo unit in Malaysia?

The reason I’m asking is because I have recently gotten my key for my first property. Out of my expectation that my unit has lots of beam, mixture with boxes and slab. This wasn’t communicated to me from either agent or developer at point of purchase.

Because my floor is in the transition to the new layout above, there are slabs and beam in the living room, and super thick plaster ceiling in my bedrooms that gives rise to my many questions and I was trying hard to understand the rationale from architecture point of view.

1. There’s a drop boxes to cover the slab and a piping at the corner in my living room, this eats up a 1.8Ft height x full width 5.5fts spaces of my living room, right above the window..

2. Standard height of other units is 10fts. My bedrooms come with free plaster ceiling which actually pleased me at first visit.. and later I only find out the plaster ceiling eats up 1ft height .. just to align with the height of partial drop of some areas..they provided a fan hook, and a design of right above a bed. I’m not sure how on the safety level if were to installed a ceiling fan with 9ft height from ground to plaster ceiling..

The defect team has came to me to advice that I can actually modify to plaster ceiling (to dismantle in center leaving more height to fan) and box (as slab is about 4 inches thick, and I am allowed to dismantle) I requested if the developer could do the modification as it seemed as design flaw. They argues that the things they built and provided comply to the laws and Architecture standard.

Any professional advices to me if I can insist developer to do the partial dismantle and replastering?

Thanks so much.

Sometime I wonder too why the architect and developer can agreed to such design .

Normally, if developer follows the spec, he wont rectify unless is defects.

As for design, is subjective to each purchaser. To be on safe side, a flat across is the safest albeit a lower height. That is why the moment purchasers received the keys, many will start knocking down and replacement is norm.

What a 'smart' way to spend money.

Thanks!
Yeah I am surprised the developer can agree with that design even the practicality ...
Spending for almost 1k psft yet the owner has to spend extra money to dismantle it...
I wonder if they ask themselves the question before whether they would buy that unit at first place..
