After months of awaiting updates and reply from the developer and Kementerian Perumahan Dan Kerajaan Tempatan (“KPKT”), I finally received the status updates from the developer as stated below (in italic). I was at the site yesterday together with MPSJ councillor Ken Chia to verify the status updates. I will continue to push KPKT to monitor this closely, especially on issues pertaining to Block 7 and I hope KPKT can provide updates regularly by calling for frequent meetings. I hope there will be no further delay and that the timeline provided below can be fulfilled. As soon as I receive more news, I will provide them here for the affected purchasers/residents.
Updates provided by the developer for Blocks 1 and 8 – Work on these 2 block are completed and the contractors are making good the defects. We have also connected the permanent electricity supply temporarily for the lift contractor to do their final testing and commissioning so that JKKP can come for the safety inspection. Upon their clearance, we can then submit to invite Bomba to come for inspection. We are also getting our consultants to obtain clearance from Syabas and IWK.
Updates provided by the developer for Blocks 1 and 8 – We are also awaiting TNB to process our application to supply the equipment for our 4 substations. Landscaping works have also been completed. Once all the clearances have been obtained, our architect will recommend to submit borang E to MPSJ for the Vacant Possession and CF sometime in May 2009.
Updates provided by the developer for Block 3 – Final stages of the work is still in progress and expected to be completed in June 2009 for the various authority clearances. Vacant Possession is estimated to be end July 2009.
Updates provided by the developer for Block 7 – We had concluded the tender exercise for the new foundation for the affected section of the building. However the cost was much too expensive for just building up to 9 floors of apartments and we have requested our consultant engineer to relook at the various alternatives to achieve a more realistic cost for the repair and reconstruction of the block. They have suggested maybe constructing only up to 6 floors or less.
