those lines are part of the aesthetic decor, and they also serve as score lines for building expansion and contraction depending on the weather and temperature. it deserves an architectural award. :p
Sinkies, how do you like HDB's cutting edge precast technology used in the construction of flats now? I heard it speeds up the building process a lot.
Now all you eager beaver newlyweds can get the keys to your dream pigeon hole quickly.![]()
I dont think the photo above thread is precast. Precast is storey by storey in HDB , The crack above is 3 storey crack and is unlikely as in photo all 3 storey crack together.
i am wondering whether all these precast blocks were made by another pap crony construction company.......
anybody here got any information please poh miah and state the facts plainly...
thanks
GLC control sand and granite in SG. They have the biggest storeage area in Pulau Punggol Barat.
I wonder when will a HDB block collapse? .........
The first will be the ones built by Ah Tiongs-the beloved pets of the pappy.
Do you think HDB flats can really last for what you pay - i.e 99 years?
Cracks start to appear after 2/3 years and spalling concrete on kitchen/bathroom ceiling as early as 5 years.
Do these clowns know what they are doing when paying 1 million for a resale (not even new!) HDB flat?
HDB have to get Ah Tiong companies to build the flats as PRC will provide super cheap loans to HDB to pay the Ah Tiong companies. You wonder where is our CPF dough?

Those 'old school' classic HDB flats built in the 1970s should be quite sturdy.
Nowadays the new condo-wannabes BTO flats have shoddy build quality and poor quality control. All the contractors assigned with jobs to construct HDB flats just want to make a quick buck and fuck off.
Those are too labour intensive. Exterior walls were bricks layered piece by piece.
Its a 4 storey crack.Not 3.
