Yes, so far make appoitment with a few contractors expecting to be notified by guards via intercom when they arrived... But they were able to drive right to my doorstep by just providing the address.

Hi Matix,

Do you have intercom linked to the guard house?

Someone in the handover department told me they will start in 2-3 weeks. They will do it in a phased manner.

Based on my phase 3a experience, don't have very high expectations. Expect long delays in the defect rectification process. They will start with a bang then trickle down to a whimper. Lots of promises, very little action. Deadlines and promised dates mean nothing. What is promised in a week could easily be a month. It's almost like standing and watching paint dry up on wall.

My 2c, be on top of things. Be prepared to make frequent trips. Chase them to death. Be ready to escalate to senior management. Last but not the least, make sure you reiterate all communications by email and document everything. Click pictures and attach them to your email communications in a PDF file.

Oh, unless you are in a big rush, don't start your renovation before they do defect rectification. As long as it takes. Otherwise the blame game and finger pointing will start. I made that mistake. One more tip - don't be too nice. The stick works better than the carrot. Learnt that the hard way as well.

Good luck bro! As much as you have just heard me whining and complaining, overall, I am still very happy with what I got for the price paid. I have no regrets about my decision to buy from them and would recommend them in a heartbeat. UEM is a great company overall. It is just that the project department that needs to get their act together. I am sure they will get there. Rest of the departments rock!

Bro,

Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. Good tips.

Ooops! Just checked that it is just the Chubb alarm. Sorry haven't moved in yet. I thought that it is linked to the Guard House.

Haha LeMans,

You have a PM again.

By the way, your rent is really high for today's market. That amount will make all the property owners in Iskandar say, "WHAT!!! Don't bluff lah". Hahaha! Congratulations bro. Did your tenant request for full furnishing? Is your rental agreement 1 year or 2 years?

Wow, that does not sound good bro! Looks like you have been having this swimming pool issue for a while. More like a swimming pain than a swimming pool!

Have you spoken with your lawyer if they are still withholding the last payment? You can actually have it repaired by another contractor and claim against the amount in case UEM cannot rectify the defect.
