I suggest u do up cat 5 wiring in ur house. Wire it to the place where u think the outside riser is coming in. The open net will usually drill a hole dorm the riser to ur hse. If u let them run the fiber it will be a ugly 1.5cm white trunking from the entry pt to where u want it. I suggest factor cat 5 into ur Id. If not u have to depend on wireless or Ethernet over power which can be costly n not good performance.

But in d end is wat u think is most cost effective n estatic for u.

No need to do anything. All rooms have built in ethernet going from the electrical cabinet to the rooms. In the electrical cabinet, the ethernet ports are next to the telephone lines. The wall socket in each room has a telephone (marked T) and Ethernet (marked D) connector. I use it at the moment to get the ethernet from one room (ADSL box) to another (Mio TV box). Later, OpenNet needs to be the electrical cabinet - there is a power point to power the interface box if needed - and no trunking is needed.

Thank you for your response.

Are you saying Fibreoptic service would be available through the Ethernet connector in the future?

Hi Anyone care to share about reno & curtains quotes?

Hi..

So far my reno quotes range fr $10k to $30k.. I have gotten a local guy Mr Chew to quote for my curtains and came up to nearly $3k. Think so far he is quite reasonable considering the no. of windows we have at 1 amber.

Anyone install window grille at 1 amber ? I rec a quote of about $1.2k for fixing 14 panels of grilles, we r not fixing full ht. but about 3/4 ht. of the window though.

Yes - that is what I am planning. I am planning to place the OpenNet Modem in the electrical distribution / telecom cabinet (marked "ST" on the floorplan), and then I should be done without any additional trunking.

Just one point to notice: my telecom riser is at the front door. I noticed quite a few of the layouts have it somewhere in the middle of the unit and I am not sure what the impact of that is.

Hi, does anyone know how to increase the water pressure for the shower?

Even though I live on a low floor, the water pressure is very low, and even lower for the rain bath.

The water pressure for the taps is very high. The kitchen taps even have a "water saver" according to the guy who installed my water purifier. But I opened my false ceiling and turned all the bathroom taps to max, still no improvement.

You may want to try to turn the valve next to the water meter in the riser main.

We had something similar: high pressure on hot water and low pressure on cold water, but only in the toilets - the kitchen was fine. Reported it as a defect and got it fixed by the contractor.

Hi,

You need patience when dealing with workers from China.
I got most of my defects done in two weeks. What you need to do is you have to be friendly with them, if possible speak Chinese to them.

Crazy Merlion

You must keep an eye on these Chinese workers. When asked to tighten the toilet paper holder at my masterbed room, the worker kept saying not possible to tighten perfectly. He failed to bring the correct screw and tried to wrap a piece of toilet paper around his screw. He responded the same when asked to tighten my main door handle. After fixing, it was still loose so I insisted tightening more. He argued that it couldn't be tightened. When I said I would go to my neighbours' place to see their handle. If theirs are tight, mine can't be loose. After hearing that, he ultimately did it.
Also, they seem to have this habit of pressing their dirty fingers on the painted walls while talking. Some of them are also more interested in my home decor than to fix defects. I have moved in already, but still need them to fix defects. There are so many eye sores, like the silicone glue on the glasses. The toilet flushing systems were also defective. The main door has so many scratches...Since the workers are always around, it is not difficult to get hold of them anyway.

Hi, thanks for sharing your exp with them. My defects are not done yet despite the defects submission in the 1st week of Jul. its 5 weeks plus and the main cont had yet to get all the defects done. the main reason was that they pretend to say ok to rectify certain defects, but when the deadline near, they say the defects are done or there is nothing wrong.

While I agree some of the main cont workers are fine, but most of them are ..... I had tried to be patient, but imagine taking 5 weeks and not able to solve 10 plus defects.

The worst was the boss of the main cont telling me this theory on glass. He said if you see scratches on ur glass, u cannot look at it directly. instead, stand 3m behind the glass and look at it. if the scratch is not more than 75mm, its fine. xxap. anyway, just my experience and my defects are left with a few now thanks to the "sermon" i gave them last week. hope things improve this week. see you around

oh yes. the main cont boss said they are unable to re-laminate the door now cos they dont have the skin in stock. they said their supplier in malaysia having problems producing it. they could only get the skin in end Aug. so maybe you have to wait till then to get your door re-laminate. mine has scratches and bad peeling

I have deep scratches (4~5cm long) on my glass panels. Initially I thought they were glue marks. Also, there are scratches on my front door which they already varnished but are still visible. I doubt they will change the glass panels or the front door. Did they change the glass for you?
I am submitting a new defect list soon as they are slow in responding to my verbal request. As I have already moved in, I will be supervising them while they work.:) For the previous defect list, I had signed off as OK because they promised to fix some of the items later, when they start to hang gondola for my block 1. I gave them the benefit of doubt.

Hi Merlion,

you are pretty rite that they wont change the glass panel. the most is that they will clean up the panel nicely, period. For the front door, they would not change the whole door for you, but they can re-laminate. Ask them to do it for you, but ask them to give you a time period that they will do it or else you wait for eternity.

try to always give the defect list, get it time stamp at their office and have a copy of it. it serves as a legal document and proof should you need to go to management for help. they may just "forget" about your verbal request. also, do not sign off OK when the defects are done. if you said ok and then resubmit a new defect list, it will be a new date. meaning the clock is reset again for them to delay doing the defects or it is saying that the defects were rectified and now you want them to fix again. protect yourself.

good to hear you are watching over them, else u might have a hard time like me. glad to hear from you.

they should. tempered glass does not have scratch when new. It's the improper installation (and subsequent lack of care/protection by workers) that caused the scratches . And it cannot be "rectified" by any other means. you should try to insist on changing.

(on the other hand, door scratches is "doable" by redoing the laminate to cover)

Hi, would like to know.
This development has TOP in May/June? It has been 2-3 months and they have not rectify the defects yet.

For those who take loan, and have started paying for the loans, you cannot rent out the units yet.
Any legal recourse to sue them? for loss of rental income?

Perhaps some are paying 3000-4000 monthly installment, but cannot rent out due to defects.

Am currently getting quotes on invisible grilles n chengai decking for balcony. We can try negotiate for some bulk discount if we can pool some interested parties together.

So far Legate quoting $12psf n Invisible grille $12.90 psf. Legate is having a booth @ Expo show now and offering 10% discount.

As for chengai decking, still awaiting quotes. Pls pm me if you are keen. Am getting them to come down for site measurement soon.

Thanks ....

wow, i guess most buyers are owner occupiers?
or those who bought the unit for renting out are just very patient?
How about those husband & wife both working? don't they have to take leave to supervise the repairs?

Thought 1 month after collect keys should be able to live in already. In case of One Amber, it has been like 3-4 months already.

Hi people,

Need some advice here. Just wondering if anyone managed to get their parquet flooring changed.

My parquet flooring was quite bad with more that 70% of the tiles hollow, scratches, stain and mold all over the foor, and even a section that was bloated. Reported this to the foreman as part of the defects and he agreed to get Jason parquet to re-hack the flooring and re-lay the parquet.

However, the foreman has come back to report that the flooring has been done. But in actuality none of the major defects have been rectified. They have just merely repolished the parquet. The stains, mould, hollow tiles, and bloated sections are still there.

Meeting the foreman to go through it again. But afraid that he will just insist that its done or say he will look into it again but again rpeort work done when nothing was done.

Is there anything I can do to mak sure that my defects get rectified.

Just met the foreman yesterday. He told be that hollow tiles will not be rectified unless a single connected area exceeds 30cmx30cm which is ridiculous as the size of 1 tile is less than 30x30cm.

For the bloated tiles and mould he siad he will try to call Jason parquet down to do something and asked me to check back again in 2 weeks. When pressed for me to confirm that he will replace and rectify the mouldy and bloated tiles, he refused to answer and keep saying that he will show me again in 2 weeks.

Just afraid that after 2 weeks, there will still not be any work done and then he ask me to check again in 2 weeks. (They just polish and say fixed).

I'm at the losing end in such a situation as I would like to move in but they can afford to drag.

Anyone esle facint he same issues. Maybe, we can group together and can better response to our issues.

What are the difficult defects to rectify and what are the concerns?

For parquet and marble, is it true that if a few pieces is defected, replacing them may not match the color tones of surrounding, and can only be polished and patched up the corners...
...or if like 50% of the parquet floor is defected, is it better to stand firm and demand them to replace the whole floor instead of their insistent of just polishing and patching up selected pieces??

The main difficulty concerns the parquet flooring. There are many hollow strips around the room with a bloated patch.

Together, the total area is about 60% of the room which is hollow. However, these areas are disconnected and many of them don't seem to meet the formen 30cmx30cm criteria for a single disconncted area. So he says that they will not want to replace.

Colourwise, there are already many uneven tones in the existing flooring. But given the mould, bloated tiles, and hollow tiles, this becomes superficial and I don't even want to add to the mess by raising it as a effect.

I agree.

I have 3 window panels with cracks and they are the no. 1 item in my defects list. Today I just told the foreman they MUST replace them - well it has been 8 weeks since my defects list submission. I last checked the other defects have been fixed/worked on.

The foreman told me he is under pressure from his boss to get me sign off - I told him his boss can call me directly or I can spare the boss the trouble by calling him myself if his phone number is given to me.

I am not against the foreman, just want someone senior to give me some bs story and i can xxxx him upside down. :cool:

I have been very patient - only called up the foreman for the first time a few days ago, after 8 weeks.

FWIW:

I just came back from the defects collection office.

I met with a Mr. Xu and he assured me my defective window panels will be replaced - it was scheduled to take place this week but their new window panels were dashed when the container truck was involved in some incident in Jurong last week - the story i cannot verify however. Apparently there are other owners told the same reason.

He has a big master list of outstanding defects for all units. I took a glance to make sure my defective window panels are listed.

I have to wait for another 4 weeks. :nuts:

Some questions for those who have done up your place if anyone can help.

1) Where can I get the electrical plan for the unit. To see which point links to which light and so on

2) There seems to be a telephone point labelled T* in the living room and each room. Are there all seperate phone lines or a single phone line with many outlets

3) There is a point labelled D5 in the electrical cabinet. Where does this connect to.

4) Later when open net installation is done, do we have to ask the open net guys to run the open net point to the electrical cabinet. (But since the electrical cabinet is quite a distance from the door, do we have to ask the guys to trunk the wire there or can the Open net guys just put the interface at the electrical cabinet in the common area outside the unit and we use the "D5" point to connect OpenNet)

1) There was an electrical plan in a pocket on the inside door of the fuse box

2) By default, it is one phone line to all rooms. If you take a second phone line, Singtel can change this (part of the new line installation).

3) For me, D5 in the cabinet goes to D5 in one of the rooms. For me, one of the data points in the 4th bedroom was marked D5 with a small sticker.

4) Good question: for me the electrical cabinet is next to the front door so there is no problem. I have no idea how this works for the units with an electrical cabinet in the centre of the unit.

called up management, ask me call contractor, contractor say not their problem, back to management. i was so angry with this merry go round thingy.

eventually management office tell me install my own window.
I was even more mad,when i demanded to get someone up to see. And she told me no need, coz they already know the problem as there are other units who already installed their own (and the suckers made me go call here n there!!!!)

i told her this is design flaw and i won't be paying for the problem they overlook. Moreover, if i install, and they tell me not within their criteria, i gotta remove????
she still refuse to send someone up to see,and talk to me about what kind of window to install, just say - make sure it matches your living room/bedroom window lor.

I nearly I&@^#%$#*((@&#%^%#^ her.
and then she tell me to write in and they will try to forward my email to the developer IF I CAN WAIT. I wonder if that's how they reply to others, and why would the others so kwai2 install their own window.???

Hi AmberJune,
Are you still doing reno? For your problem, think you can do a blind to shield the rain water. Since the management is "bochap", you may just go ahead. If you are not sure, write them a letter. If they have no objection in 2 weeks, then you proceed. But I had heard someone's metal grilles at balcony were taken down.
Well, I have my own list of defects still waiting to be rectified. Some of the repairs were not done by skilled workers & the problems returned. On several occasions, the workers came to fix one problem but create a few new ones. Eg. While doing repair works, they spilled thinner, lacquer, paint, silicone etc. While clearing glass stains, they create deep glass scratches. While doing rooftop repair, they damaged my chenggai wood decking three times. The management is looking into my complaints but response/action is very slow. In fact, they have taken more than 2 months to "clear" my defect list but till now not more than 30% indicated on the defect list are rectified. Anyway I will pester them day & night, until they dream of my defects when they sleep.

If you are staying in an unit sharing an airwell (the air space between 2 units), do you find it noisy even when the unit below is making noise?

I think there are alot of stacks in OA that is sharing an Airwell with another unit. just want to know if anyone else is facing the same issue with me. basically, i have to face 1. a noisy kid next door (not forgetting the shouting parent), 2. noisy adults an unit below the noisy kid, 3. a loud coughing, spitting old man below my unit and 4. someone who switch on their bedroom tv real loud 2 units below mine.

and yes, all the noise is from the airwell. hope you could share too if any. thank you

I've been experiencing this problem ever since TOP. My neighbour above me, Tower 9 #07-25, has this airwell.

Every now and then that noisy man will spend the whole day shouting at his kids while he tries to put them through school, from school dismissal until night time (or the whole day for weekends.) Sometimes at 1am.

He's been shouting so much that we already know their sons' names- Jason and Justin Lam. We've written directly to them and to the MC before. He's just started it again yesterday.

I'm quite sure he's been absent for a while until now. Haven't heard his shouting till yesterday but I don't believe he can hold in his horrid temper. Peace and quiet all too brief. Lam T, how about some respect!

Anyone else heard?

Hi Diana, Thank you for sharing.
I think I am also along the airwell of unit #25. Hope your situation has improved. Maybe you need to talk to the MC again? I dont hear his shouting though. but i heard of dog barking at night in our block (most likely).

for my side, the tenants of the noisy unit has moved out (hope the new tenant are nice people). the coughing man has cough lesser, but one of the unit will start to get noisy from 10.30pm onwards (haha yes, the whole day is fine, the "party" rock from 10.30pm.

really do not like this airwell design although it bring in air. hope they build a wall in between to cut noises.
