Just some comments for the folks here.

I just received my letter to collect my house keys at Ave 7, next to Ave 8. Thus I went down on Sun to pay all the deposits, etc before house inspection and keys collection next week.

The Setia team was kind of unsure how to answer my many questions but were totally professional and polite. I was impressed that at least they had a team who can manage customers despite not having all the answers.

I then went to the security to ask to be admitted to Ave 7 to view my unit.

When i reached the guard house, the guards claim that they do not have my car number so they cannot let me in. Despite all reassurances, etc they refused to let me in and instead keep checking back with the security at Setia for clearance. Finally after abt 10 mins of walkie talkie communication, they got the right person and the clearance. They took down my particulars and let me in.

When I was at my unit, another security guard on a motorcycle drove by and stopped. He left after checking my Setia letter that I am the owner.

All in all, i hope the security maintains its standards and keep the access tight. A few homes were already renovated with their families all moved in.

Just a simple update.

Cheers

Sorry for the confusion. For Coral, Setia is just releasing keys after receiving CCC on 20 Sep. But the Jade development received their keys in May. The earlier folks only just moved in. As you know, Ave 7 has many developments eg Jade, Coral, Arte, Cadenzza, etc.

Looks like the average time from keys to finish reno and moving in is abt 3-4 mths.

Hi All,

I will be getting my key on this month. Hence, i am still hunting the contractor for renovation. Just wondering, is anyone can recommend the responsible and reliable contractor to me?

Collecting keys this Sun.

Probably will start reno asap as i want to use the house for staying during the yr end sch holidays. I would likely just do minimal reno in order to be able to stay during end nov.

More time consuming work can be done later.

U r also a Coral owner? Thks for updating name of taman. I nvr asked setia. Haha.

 

[marineblue911]

Hmm. Zone 7. Thats quite unique i think. Nvr heard of any tamans being called zone unless 'restricted zone'. Hahaha.

Sure... Will update here with the whole key collection process... But I heard it's quite straightforward.. Pay money, take key, see house with the site supervisor and it's done... After that u can take ur own time to check in details...

Probably I will share if there's alot or defects

Yeah, I'm a coral owner.... Don't really like the sound of zone 7... Sound very industrial... Don't have the home sweet home cozy feel... Heee

Went into JB on Saturday and was quite a fruitful trip I must say. Whilst driving around the Zone 7 compound to check out other people's renovation and how they extend their balcony/living room/bedroom to get tips to do mine when its ready, I managed to chat up a Singaporean couple who owns a unit in The Jade who has just completed renovation of their home. They were so friendly that I even got a tour of their house and namecards of their contractors. Its such a nice feeling to know that there are friendly Singaporean neighbours in my zone.

There were quite a fair number of units who have either extended their balcony or completely converted the space into part of their bedroom space. There was even one corner unit that built an extra room using the balcony space for a walk-in wardrobe. Now my wish list has grown to include extended balcony or bigger bedroom, maybe even a rooftop garden, provided the foundation is suitable for one more layer and the costs permit.

I also went to check out d'Verde and d'Jardine's 'show' unit. Very spacious and good quality tiles and finishing though I personally prefer d'Verde for its courtyard, layout and the full glass window at the family area on the second floor. Drove and park my car at the open space where there were people flying kites and family having picnic (in front of d'Verde/d'Jardine 'show' units). Whole feeling is very peaceful and calming. Upon checking the BI masterplan, noticed that this plot of land won't be developed, so its nice.

Hi Tonto,

Great to see your pics! I was there too yesterday to collect my keys to my Coral unit. Finally!

Process was simple and fast. Nice binder with all keys separated and marked. Includes 2 RFID sensor cards for entry. But the entrance sensors still not in operation. They now include a thumb drive with some basic info like paint colour code n stuff.

Went in for preliminary inspection with Setia contractor. Just check the manhole that all the water drains clearly and cleanly into the manhole at the wet kitchen and out of the unit. Got 14 days to give a defects list to Setia for first round rectification. Looks pretty ok...nothing very major but I really dont hv high expectations on workmanship,etc. As long as the major stuff are fine, I am ok.

Power is still not in. TNB will come n install meters sometime these few months. Yes, months. Setia cannot advise when TNB will install once they submit the application. Typically they told me is 1.5-2 mths. So i am keeping fingers crossed that power comes quick. No power, means no testing of electrical plugs, etc. NO reno too...

But water meter was installed already. But still no water. Strange. Wonder what else is needed to turn on water.

They even cut the grass which is nice as it has been growing quite unkempt over the last few mths pending CCC approval.

Then I took a walk around and enjoyed the play ground that Tonto posted. Nice and all growing well. Some trees even flowered. Nice.

Anyway, now comes the busy period getting the house into a home. Yay!

I guess it depends on which side of the fence one is on. I had the same thoughts initially when I saw some 8th avenue houses looking so different from their original facade. For those who can get peeved about neighbour's changes to their house facade affecting the whole look of the taman, then its better to get strata titled or Deed of Mutual Consent (think I read this somewhere in NI thread) not to change colour scheme or facade.

Upon learning that my development is not strata titled, I resigned myself to it and looked at it from a freedom of expression perspective. I traded conformity for freedom, think thats not a bad deal. Maybe its age. I am more open to differences and can respect others' choices better, even though it might not reflect my own taste and preferences. So when my friend commented that one house in The Jade painted their main gate purple (and there was a purple house in an older taman near the BI water tanks), I just shrugged and thought its their house and as long as they like it, thats good enough. Coming from living in a HDB where alot of things cannot be changed, having the freedom to do what one likes to one's home feels quite refreshing at times.
