Hi All,
I noticed that many units in PG has yet to begin renovation likely due to unsatisfactory quality of workmanship and delays from the maincon ever since the last unit collected keys
I wonder any owners out there has intended or proceeded with avenue to issue the Notice to Intent to developer offcially to get your units rectified to your expectations.
If anyone intend to or has proceeded to do it, please share your knowledge on this thread.

Well, its always I see urs good and u seen mine good. For us, there are certain defects which made myself and hubb unhappy. But the joy of owning our own house is good enuff to cover all unsatisfactories! Some defects u can close one eye...and when u live abit longer, u forget all about it
Adrian, for ur case, u can ask them to change the tiles for u rite?

I agree with ah eng. before we moved in, we were so busy and concerned with getting the defect rectification done... but after we move in, even though there are still defects that the main con has not rectify, we dun really see them.... we took our time to get them rectified, which the main con did last weekend...I think they will do what they can.. dun think there is a need to complicate matters by issuing notices..
I think through my own cleaning and mopping, I created more scratches on the floorings than the main con!!!

Definitely when things comes to the point of issuing notices offically to developer would logically meant that the defects concern are serious enough to prevent an owner from moving in. For example, leaking window panes, leaking ceilings/walls, hollow tiles/marble which need to be rectified by hacking.
I would say no owner in the right mind would want to go through the lengthy process to issue notices to developer just because the maincon delays in the rectification for some minor defects.

Merci puku,
I just dun understand these contractors. It seems that they are not so busy now. Why they still delaying their rectifications?
Adrian,
I also cannot visualise ur problem too. Hmm..7 weeks??!! U are indeed very patient to wait that long!
Grin,
Not for me for the time being. Still can manage. But might consider later in the long run.

Hey Grin, if the price is reasonable, I would join in too. Let me know if you have any recommendation although I did receive a flyer on this. I recently bought a robot broom that runs around the house itself but have not tested it out.
For me, it is now trying to clear the defects and doing reno. Thinking of closing one eye on minor defects and chase them on major ones.

Hi Limay,
You're back from yr honeymoon? Hope you had fun
Having stayed on our own at PG for 2 mths liao, both me & hubb surrendered to the amt of housework piling up every week. Have decided to employ a part time maid who is coming this weekend. Yippee! Finally can relax yah. She charges reasonably but dunno the quality of her work. If she can take on more assignments, will keep you guys posted
Hey Mobe,

Hey Jes,
I also have the white discolouration on the black homogenous tiles in the common bathroom. I tried to brush the stains off using a toothbrush...helps a little, but not totally gone. Wonder what stains are they??!!
As for the kitchen top, dun think they are so "high class" enough to give us Corian, cos they are quite ex. Maybe a cheaper version of solid surface without the 3M branding.
Check with all out there... did anyone's PUB bill come up to $100+ during your reno period? Mine came up to that amount during my reno period... my first bill came before reno and it cost around $153 (including the $150 deposit), i.e. my electricity/water bill is only $3, but after I received my 2nd bill, it came up tp $100+ again! Is it common??! Pls advise...

Hey Carol,
Our PUB bill was also v high for the Dec period - estimated amount by PUB was $100+ (thou we stayed only one week in Dec). We are assuming that it was because the ID's reno workers used the water...still quite high thou, since our ID reno work took less than 1 week!
Alex thinks it should be more like $60-80 for a 2 member household..will have to wait for this month's to compare.

Hi Limay,
Confirmed you are back in Singapore liao... can reply so promptly
How's honeymoon? The magnificent scenaries in NZ must have made your honeymoon even better
Seems like you and Arieson also have the same problem... thou it's an estimated figure, it shldn't also hit that high...cos "inaccurate" can the PUB get? I have checked with a few neighbours on that too, theirs (should be an estimated figure too) are no more than $50. So I guess ours are SO MUCH higher than theirs! Do agree with Alex that PUB bill for a 2-member household shld not exceed $80, esp if we dun turn on the air con everyday...

My utilities bills were slightly more than $150 during the 1st month (including the deposit) and only $27 during the 2nd mth (we have shifted in by then). Understand that the 2nd mth was just estimated and PUB has not taken the actual reading. We're still anticipating for the actual bill to come.
Hopefully its just cos PUB's estimates are way off & not cos the contactors have been tapping into our water supply or something!
Carol - yah, came back on Tues nite. Thinking of all the backlog of work, so sian!! But NZ was great, way too much rain thou...the world's weather has gone freaky since the tsunamis
The temp was 10-15 degrees thou it was suppose to be hot summer, & it was raining most of the time! Took tons of scenic pix thou, think close to 900 on the digicams!

Hey Carol,
When are u planning your housewarming party? You can consider Theme Catering - we used them for our wedding day luncheon at both homes after the tea ceremony. Not too bad, and the set up was rather presentable
Paid $300 for 25-30 pax.
We are planning to do ours maybe sometime after CNY - but going to make it small scale, one for my friends, one for Alex's and separate ones for the immediate family. Attempting to home cook
haha

Hee Limay,
You very "brave" ah... you know how much cleaning you got to do after that? I'm not worrying about cooking, I'm worried about cleaning up after that *faint*. Imagine how many pots and pans and plates I've got to wash?!! That's partly the reason why I want to get a caterer (rather spend the $$ than getting burnt out after that
) Then all my family members can "squeeze" inside the function room and eat, without creating a mess in my house
.
Ah Eng,
I'll contact you one of these days to get the caterer's contact. Limay too. Will see which caterer suits my preference.

Hi Limay,
We had a few small scale gatherings for my hubby's family, my family and some of our common friends on 3 different occasions, on 3 different weekends. We cooked.
The first session was fun, becos that was the first 'party' we were hosting at our new place, the second one with our friends is not so xiong, becos it's potluck, but by the time we have the third gathering, we were totally exhausted even though each is a week apart. We had wanted to cook for our official housewarming party, but gave up the idea. It's very tiring, and like what carol says, there's alot alot of grocery shopping, planning (of what to prepare), cooking, cleaning and washing (after the gathering).
Carol,
I am having my housewarming this weekend. Caterer is Jack's Place. Was not recommended by to me by anyone, but we quite like the tea reception menu. Will let you know if it is good.

hehe...was thinking of cooking only lah...wait say say and never do at the end.
Think we will cater for the frens, but cook for immediate family. At least for my side, cos my sisters/bro in laws are all very "on" one - will cook turkey for xmas, make Xmas pudding, bake durian bread, make pasta from scratch, etc etc. So its expected that we cook for them...then again, I am rather lazy...hah...I received a bread maker from a friend, dont even know when I will get around to using it!
Hi fanta,
Was quite busy with my reno recently. Didn't really have much time to log on
Hi Carol,
Hows your reno getting along?
Hi limay,
I am sure you enjoy your HM very much.
Actually the day when you came back i was at the pool side. Saw 2 of you dragging the cargo bag and enter the lift. Wanted to call you but you guys walk very fast. Must be tired after long hour of travelling

hi ppl..
another exciting day at PG... realise more problems.. there's major discolouration on my marble tiles.. one big patch of white but not visible during morning ad afternoon when there's ample light.. only saw it during the evening time..
my timber flooring in masterbedroom is uneven so when i open and close my door it scratches the floor.. i highlighted the issue and guess wat solution they gave me... they say the floor is fine, is the door that is the problem.. so they wanted to saw my door. KAO!!! i rejected the idea straight and did my own investigation.. and finally we all concluded that the floor was uneven...
