Hi Limay, Carol and ah eng,
you all can pop by anytime tomorrow, I should be around from 11 to 2pm...
btw, limay, are you going to clean up your apartment after you get the keys? is there any point in doing that, since the contractors will be coming to work from next week on and going to create a mess anyway?
ah eng, any advice? hmm.. I will have to wait for my hubby to arrive at 2pm, so dunno what to do in the meantime..I enjoy cleaning as I find it therapeutic (did I hear gasps of horror??! kekeke
) so I thought I can get going on that first.. maybe the MBR toilet.. kekeke... can lock it up after that, to prevent workers from going in..

EIG,
Haha, you are as "auntie" as I am cos we both serious house workers clipart{lame}
You find cleaning therapeutic? Hmm... maybe you can give me a hand if the cleaning in you house is not therapeutic enough
As for the MBR toilet, dun you need the workers to install lights for you? If you lock, how are they going to do that?

Hi Fanta,
huh? the bathroom door can be opened even if it is locked from the inside? That's not very safe right?.. esp. if guests are using the common wc; they will risk being "exposed" if someone unwittingly intrude?!
Carol, I've got no time to clean for others! my apt will be xiong enough already, and will provide just the right amount of therapy for me, kekeke
.. but of course, if you can pay me $100 an hour, I dun mind helping you to clean
.
will probably clean the living/ dining area and MBR toilet then like wat ah eng did.. the lights will only be arriving next sat, so they can concentrate on doing the rewiring, electrical and carpentry work this week first

Hi ppl,
i only got to know this forum recently, it's indeed very informative! i've just collected my keys yesterday and i'm looking for an id now....do you guys have any to recommend? if you do, could you either post it here or email it to [email protected]

Some good id firms which we went to and was impressed with either their creativity, services or pricing were:
1) Design Channel at Joo Chiat
2) Space Vision Design at Toa Payoh
3) Fuse Concept at Geylang
4) Collective Designs at Kensington Park
Do reply if you need me to give u the exact address or numbers. It's labourous tasks looking for ID firms. I went to countless and narrowed down to a few. For each, besides the above, you have to see if you can relate to the designer well, whether he/she is responsible, committed, his/her credentials and lastly do visit their previous works to see their workmanship.
Lastly, do try to bargain way from the beginning to see how much u can squeeze out of each.
Good luck.

Hi all,
I'm back!!! Glanced through some of the postings, and yah, Esther was running around furiously around Park Green becos of my unit
You know how terrible it is? She was helping me to follow-up on my case, and when she call the supervisor, he said that they have to finish the defects rectification in 28 days, but not obliged to finish all these in a few days. But guess what, I collected my keys on 3/11, and was the first unit in blk 6 to do so, you mean i still behind in the queue? Other units in my blk have already closed case, and mine has yet to start work. Guess my defects are so many and so serious they dunno where to start?
These were related to me when i called my ID on my trip, the last i heard was that they have finally started work, have started hacking my bathrooms, which was after a month of key collection and many many warning letters!
Will drop in tomorrow to see how is the progress, if i find that they have stopped work again, i hope that my neighbours here can pardon me when they see a mad woman screaming in frustration URGH!

Hi chinnie,
Welcome back. How was your honeymooon? I am sure you enjoy yourself very much
I saw Esther was like so tired and sick running around looking for supervisor. I am sure those have not clear their defects is just a matter of time they blow up. I can see the manager already get used to people yelling and shouting at him.
The last i saw workers changing tiles at my balcony without putting any protection. Debris mostly landed on my compress marble. My hubby was so heated up scolded them to do protection in front of the manager. The manager felt so pai seh after that.

Pardon me, but I need to vent.....
2 weeks ago when I went back to check on my apartment, the timber flooring scratches were removed (to my delight) but my MBR, MBR toilet and living/dining hall were covered with thick cement dust (sigh). One of the shower shelf panels broke loose as well. Apart from that nothing was done. Yesterday I went to check, all the floor stickers on the marble floor was removed (while hollow tiles and scratches still in situ!) but everything cleaned up. I also saw holes on the ceiling of my MBR toilet!! (I bet that's where all the cement dust came from) Then there were new deep scratches on the timber flooring at the entrance to the toilet (aiyo!). I asked Nagarajan (keyman) about it but he couldn't explain much instead asked me to put the stickers back (that will take hours!!) walaauuuuuuu!!! The unit above and below me have already moved in. I wonder is it becos' I haven't made any noise so they ignore my apartment even though the promised 30 days for rectification is past due date??
Thanks.... heh heh
I feel much better already

Everyone need to check if the contractor pours cement into toilet bowl because they are too lazy to bring down to depose of extra cement.
If you missed this, it will cause endless headache as your toilet choke up in future.
My recommendation is that owner should check the unit every other day to ensure the rectification is okay. Tiong Seng is the maincon and they lack the manpower to monitor every minute how the subcontractor do the rectification.
Hi Kyosho1,
I would recommend that you get in touch with the supervisor to commit on the handover date. Ask them to give you a black and white stating that they would require more days to rectify your unit. This letter can be used later on if there is any dispute rather than keep quiet.

Phew.. after venting earlier in the forum, I received a call from the contractor!! I haven't even complained to them yet..heh heh...maybe they were reading the forum. Was asked to go PG to check the color of the marble tiles at 12pm. I went and just came back. Showed him all the faults, scratches, cracks etc. Guess what, he said all the rectification will be finished by tomorrow 2pm and the key will be handed over to me as well.
kyosho1
same thing happened to my unit. My poor husband spent hours knocking and pasting the affected hollow tiles and the workers just removed them without rectifying it.
we told them off on sat as well.
btw, main con trying to convince us that the hollow tiles in the living room is not that bad, will not "pop up". Anyone of u accept that? Did they compensate u?

Hi all,
As I am not able to enter my unit(due to pregnancy "Pang Tang"). My hubby is the only one scanning for problem but my hubby's scanner is "Ku Ku" one lah. He is not the detailed type one lor. But quite happy with my blk contractor. I submitted the form last week(Fri) about my dirty marble floorings(which made us difficult to see whether there is stain or anything). This morning, we went to our unit. A guy is polishing the whole floorings.
I cannot complain too much also otherwise I dunno where I should stay during my confinement.

Missylan/Carol,
Looks like our blk got lesser problems or at least lesser yelling fm what I see. The supervisors (Aziz & Samy), workers including the lift operator at Blk 12 are generally responsive. Very pleased with their service. Though it has been sometime since the day key was handed over, they're always around when we need them & they never say no to our requests

fanta,
Dunno whether there are more serious defects in my unit or not, hope not! So far, I hadn't met the contractor only the key man. He is very cute. Sometimes, see him sitting outside the unit at level 1. Very cute man...
Dunno is it becos I told Adeline(contractor at B1) that I need to hurry this floorings first. Cos going to give birth liao and floorings too dirty to be able to view any defects. So after few days, they come over to polish for me.

Hey EIG, Polly, Ah Eng, and the rest of the new neighbours we met on Sat - was nice meeting u all
So far, everyone we have met in PG have been pretty cool - John from the 1st floor (the one with the dark red brolly at the yard) even invited us in to KPO when we were walking pass...
We did the handover on Sat - going to start reno on Wed & get the final handover from the ID after our wedding next weekend
Chinnie - how was ur honeymoon? Hope u are all well rested & recharged & ready to face the defects!!

Hi Alvin & Fanta
No worry...I understand. Hope you and your little girl like the choc.
The handover was unsuccessful because of the dark stain on the living room flooring. During the 1st collection of key, we were told that the black stain could be removed by some cleaning agent, but until last Sat it was proven wrong. Therefore, main-con said they have to replace the affected tiles.........

really? door bell not provided?
Hi Byrdie,
Very hard to describe.....use a key but invert it so that the head presses against the part that supposed to have key hole, then try to turn in clock wise or anti clock wise (can't rem exactly) direction & turn the door knob. Wun get locked inside
Ka Ro,
Rachel's right, you must be around when they change tiles. It's a tiring process, stressful on the eye to match the exact color tone.
Missylan,
You planning to shift in before yr delivery hah?
