in terms of lasting...copper pipe definitely last longer than PVC ones....regardless how thin the copper pipes are...
At what instance does a pipe breaks?

Quite high especially in JB where they buried the PVC under the concrete. If the wall cracks, the pipe will leak due to movement. This happen to my bro house in Gela Patah.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

Hi thegolf,
I'm impatiently waiting for my South Golf 24X75 to be completed next year. Seems so long! Took the plunge last Dec when they offer free club membership. Personally prefer the layout of South Golf 22X70 (staircase by the side after entering main door) but sold out due to contemplating for too long. U too?

Bro thegolf, that makes the 2 of us w sleepless nites!

Jokes aside, a friend just collected keys to his South Golf 22X70 and invited me to visit. Backed out last minute due to work commitment n recent busy schedule. The last time I asked no complaint about defects from him yet if that's any consolation.

Sorry bro, I had miss out ur first post and hope everything will be fine @ 1B9.

Now you guys don't have to guess what's above your ceiling.

Any comments on the steel structure of the roof ????

Hi Sanur,

now my biggest headache is the timber roof structure... i have no means to check how badly it is 'eaten' up.... and i think getting a contractor to re-do the structure using metal will be too expensive... damn pissed with SP Setia....

Guess we are fortunate here @ Horizon Hills which use steel structure for the roof

Dont worry , my house from Sutera also use PVC pipes , so far so good nothing happen. Like what a bros say, do good things and hope haven protect the house , ha-ha . If it want to happen , nothing we can do . Contactor can hack the wall , do a re piping if can locate the leaks , else do a totally new pipe without conceal , not too costly.

Thanx dude~

Metal roofing with steel frames normally has a layer of radiant barrier (the silver colour foil material you see in between the steel roof structure) for reduction of radiant heat. Thus no issue with metal conducting heat into the bulding. The primary reason for using metal is durability.

If it will break... It better break within the 3yrs warranty...I cannOt imagine the hassle my family will suffer if we already shift in... Let's keep our fingers crossed

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

Well I dare say Tanah Sutera (Capital Land JV) is quite responsible. After got my house for 3 years already and have no complain on cracks, leakages. We were surprised when they come and upgrade/ waterproofing our toilets drainage system last month for free! They say that this is to prevent future water leakage and it supposed to last 40 to 50 years! Now this is how the work is carried out over the weekend for 4 days. First they hack away loose concrete around the drainage hole. Next the apply a few coats of black water proofing compound (take a few days between coats to dry). Lastly they plug the pipe with a small ball, filled the toilet with water about 1-2 inch of water. Next day the supervisor and owner inspect the toilet for any sign of leakage. (If water is drained off mean waterproofing is not working). All 3 toilets upstair , they say cost about 500 buck a toilet to do the job , all for free.

Wow I am impressed, your developer really got standard! Eh it is Keppel Land JV, not Capitaland lah.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

Hi everyone,

Does yOur property comes with termite warranty???

HH has termite treatment during building stage and it has a anti-termite during the defect warranty period. These terms wasn't stated anywhere but when I inquired with maintenance office, that was what they told me. Anyway, when I approach pest control they said if you see normal ants around, unlikely to have termite infestation, i have too many normal ants around in my HH place, hurray !

 

[thegolf]

Was viewing and inquire about purchase of EC in sg, due to the new rules of those who currently have hdb and overseas property are not eligible to apply but the agent said they can appeal on my behalf and the chance are very high!!!

not necessary metal roof last longer vs roof titles . Both got its pro and con . maybe in near future we have stainless steel sheets for roofing , last a life time. !

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

Tanah Sutera is a JV between "Keppel Land", "Capitaland", "Lee Rubber Co", "Pelangi Berhad" and "Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (Armed Forces Fund Board)". Land was owned by Lee Plantation. About 1300 acres with a big portion still left undeveloped.

That is why you can find OCBC branch at Sutera and OCBC bankers are very willing to offer loan for this development.

Other GLC presence in JB:

Capitaland also has a approx 20% share of UM land (not UEM). That is why it's subsidiary Ascott managed to secure the management of the new serviced apartment at Puteri Habour.

City Square owned by GIC real estate.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

subsidiary awarded management to another subsidiary.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

There is Sunway Development in Malaysia, a top quality developer whom was bought over by UEM recently. Any development is bound to have defects and I was believe in luck, whether you are lucky to have a good unit or not. Just like a brand new car, even Mercedes have its flaws too.

just a correction, UEM bought over Sunrise. Sunway is another big conglo in which Singapore's GIC has a share. But last I heard GIC sold its share. GIC brought it back from 1997 crisis as it was almost bankrupted. It owns sunway college, sunway lagoon, sunway pyramid, sunway golf and country club, also was in the lime light recently as it almost merged with Suncity another developer.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

Lee Family has a controlling stake in OCBC. It is one of the biggest land owner in Malaysia. I also have seen a confidential map showing all the land price transaction, you will be surprised much of the Nusajaya land was acquired for less than 50 sens psf, but now can fetch up to RM 200 psf in certain areas. a 400 times difference. Pelangi Berhad a local developer is now no longer part of the Tanah Sutera consortium.
