You walk though the wall if it's uneven then you know it's an issue.but should do water ponding la, kalau leak ask developer to do can save 3k for the first few years. You stay and walk on the floor everyday and you'll feel the hallow/uneven tiles, then you report it ASAP to management. and TS, remember to track your conversation record via email.

I'm a trained architect and has been in this field for over 20 years. I don't practice as much as I used to nowadays, but even with my exposure, I still miss a thing or two, especially when involving accessing roof areas. My suggestion is to pay professionals to do it for you because: 1. They have better visual vocabulary in detecting problems 2. They have experience in comparing issues between hundreds of buildings 3. They tend to know the standard practice in Msia, so they know where most builders cut costs. 4. Not only they're able to detect existing problems, they can also detect potential problems in the future. 5. They're willing to access places (in the building) that you can't. 6. They have the time to do it. chaosneo, Quantum Geist, and 1 other liked this post

QUOTE(WaterBuffalo @ Sep 2 2024, 10:29 AM) Last time I pay ppl to inspect defect. RM450 I think. The inspection work was done professionally with labeling of defect area, report and they help to fill in defect sheet. I really like it. Yeah my past experience helping my sister deal with developers the sure ignore some of your complaints as most will just malas and just live with the defects. if minor one i dont really mid also.But once I submitted the report to developer, that’s where another story comes about. The developer spent a month rectifying what I submitted but at the end not 100% of what I submitted has been rectified. They just handed the key back to me and say it’s all done. They removed all the sticker and label and claimed it was rectified. At the end the tiles still got hollow sound and what not. But to be fair some of the basic stuff they did rectify. But the uneven surface, etc all they just didn’t do anything about it. After a few ding dong with developer, I also lazy. My advice is this. If you’re going to renovate your house immediately after you get your keys, you might as well get your contractor to help you submit defect report to management. Cause once contractor remove those built in carpentry work, that’s where you’ll see a tonne of other defect. So fix your defect as you renovate your house. If you renovate 5 years down the road then be prepare to spend extra to fix those defects. |

They're generally around 300 for inspection, for a more thorough process, i.e. report defect, follow up inspections, it's slightly more than that. I can't remember how much.
But it is worth the fees, as these are the individuals familiar with the process (especially knowing what is defective), might as well let them be the judge. |

I went in myself stay for a few days then i ask developer to fix what are the defect i found.Im not trying to save bucks, as saw neighbour posted in group chat they got tons of stickers but 90% of them are not getting fixed. What's the point hiring then. In the end depend on how developer try to entertain you. |
