KUALA LUMPUR: City Hall (DBKL) has allowed construction to resume on the Soho block, as well as Blocks A and B of the J. Satine condominium project in Wangsa Maju.

However, it said that structural repair works and foundation reinforcement must be completed on Blocks C and D before any construction activities on those blocks can proceed.
City Hall said it had received a progress report dated Feb 24 from the independent check consultant, which was prepared by a certified professional engineer.
“The report contains several recommendations and is supported by the independent engineers involved.
“It also includes verification of the building’s safety and structural stability,” it said in a statement today.
City Hall added that the recommendations had been endorsed by the independent engineers and accompanied by safety and stability certification from the structural engineers of the J. Satine development.
It has also directed the project’s consulting engineers to submit a monthly progress report and a repair work completion report, both of which must be reviewed and certified by the independent consultant at the end of each month.
The developer, Jayyid Land Sdn Bhd, has been instructed to hold engagement sessions with unit buyers and relevant agencies - including the Wangsa Maju member of Parliament’s office, the Federal Territories Department and the National Housing Department - within two weeks of the stop-work notice being lifted.
“City Hall remains committed to ensuring that all actions taken regarding the J. Satine development are guided by the principles of accountability, safety, transparency and integrity.
“City Hall will continue to closely monitor the implementation of repair works and the overall progress of the project to ensure all actions are carried out responsibly and in the best interests of all stakeholders,” it said.
On Nov 9, 2024, City Hall issued a stop-work order for the J. Satine condominium following reports of an explosion on site caused by structural issues.
An inspection revealed cracks along the shear walls, pillars, and floors in units above the eighth floor of Block C.

“The report contains several recommendations and is supported by the independent engineers involved.
“It also includes verification of the building’s safety and structural stability,”

The structure integrity report was prepared by independent engineers. Who are we as public to give remarks without knowing the technical details?

The rightful way as the public in my opinion, since the remedial report was ready, try to get friends in the related to industry to share their opinion on the recommendation verification. Listen to their view / opinion instead, that will be more meaningful.

Most developer will declare bankrupt rather then demolish and rebuild. repair is probably the only solution for all stakeholders.

If same problem resurface after a few years, it will no longer developer, contractor or dbkl (whoever approved will probably retired by then) baby. it seems the developer have very strong cable.

Either that or they use whatever route available to get things done...

So project goes on usual...

Developer could reinstall windows and door frame, patch up and repaint crack in wall, etc. how they could remedy foundations is interesting to know.

Well...

DBKL already given alprovals... Based on all the reports summited by developers....

DBKL gives nod for construction of J Satine condo to be resumed

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, construction company TCS Group Holdings Bhd told the bourse that its subsidiary TCS Construction had received approval from DBKL for the recommencement of work on Phases 2 and 3 of the project.

“Construction work on Phase 1 would proceed once the necessary foundation strengthening is fully completed and verified by other parties,” the company said, Bernama reported.

Who would wanna stay in that cracked block? 😅

A friend of mine shared at fb. Today got session with buyers. She said buyers were inform damage due to batu kapur and swiss cheese problem. I donno what it meant.

If cancel contract need to pay at least 60k; depending on how much bank released to developer.

Dev cant answer questions then resorted to mute and turn off the mic. No body dare enough to say it is safe after the fix being done.

Wow looks like the foundation is limestone and there are cavities undeground. Limestone is porous and can erode over time. I am not structural engineer nor a geologist so I wonder what theose experts will say.

Yeah. She shared people were asking why developer did not do proper job working on the foundation since the building is huge and tall. No answer given.
