I noticed a big group of ppl are busy in car park building. they completed the portion of block 77, now moving to tennis court. once it connected to the power station, the car park work is going to done, so only left greens....
but nobody is doing function room, still on the 3rd floor ground, can't see the glass room yet...
For the last payment before TOP - carpark, i guess all of us will receive on the same time?
I do pray for Q4'13 also :D :D :D can't wait to drink coffea in my beautiful balcony to enjoy the real (and really beautiful) water view... :47:
Hi sis East Lover,
Is the function Room rooftop reaches 3rd or 4th flr cos we r on lvl 5, dun know whether it will be above us?
We got CPF deduction of another 5% total pay out now is only 45%:doh:
Still crawling lor, hard to believe TOP end 13!!!!:banghead:
We r still hoping for the best, of course!
Any pics updates, anyone.
Thks
guys and gals...I am not sure if I should to ask a practical question here, to spoil the joyous atomershere...
If you bot a 1000 square feet as developer said and paied 1000psf, that is 1 million.
In the end, the URA measurement is reported 970 square feet, will the developer offset you 30k?
Professional advice or experience is needed, thanks.:cheers4: :cheers4:
jbtay is right of coz. In so many developments, I've yet to hear of any developers silly enough to make such a mistake
We have to believe we will TOP end of year! And that's hopefully everything is smooth. This is one of the longest development for only 15 floors. Hopefully, SimLian don't disappoint. But TOP is one thing, then there's a process of handing over which can take up to 3 months.

Hi Angie, it seems to me that your 5th floor are pretty safe, it will reach to 3rd floor the most, and there is some distance between the block to function room, so you will be fine..;)

Can anyone post latest photo?
Called the law firm and they said developer are calling for another 10% for my unit. 2 more to go till TOP. Kind of slow for my unit at stack 35 :(
hi, all fellow WVier
It is not a good news.
I did write a email to SL for asking estimated TOP date yesterday, today I got reply as follows:
"We anticipate to obtain TOP for Waterview by the Last Quarter of 2013. You may wish to note that this is only an estimated period, and it also depends on the progress of the construction and authority approvals
So, I believe Dec 13 should be reachable

Thank you Sis East Lover, we actually paid another 10% for WV, therefore total payable now is 50% only, long way to go as compared to u guys :doh:
Anyway, still hoping to meet all of u in Xmas 13!

One of my concern too.... But recent report in TNP did indicate that URA and BCA would want the management to seriously look at the safety aspect instead of just the outlook of the condo... I hope there would be some "standard grill" that we can install....

DBR allows invisible grill to be installed in the balcony. so i guess WV should have no problem for this also..
they will come out a set of standard for the window grill and main gate. don't worry. :)

For Clover by the Park, if I recall correctly, the "invisible grill" guys were at the condo during key collection period. There are many of this grills installed at cbtp.

Thks for the pics sis EL. Appreciate it.
I think not even CNy 2014 is possible... Coz collection of keys also takes a bit of time. Plus.. Reno... Maybe march to April more realistic.

The issue with these govt agencies is that they push the problem to local mcsts, who in turn has no view or refuse to take a position.

I think, where safety is concerned especially of young children and where the consequences are of utmost severity, I would take a position and install invisible grills. My reasons are simple - it is a reasonable thing for parents to ensure safety of their children; that I chose invisible grills shows that I take into account the concerns of the mcst abt the aesthetics of the place.
In circumstances like this, take appropriate action first and deal with the consequences later. At most, you bear additional costs to replace the invisible grill with something else. Wouldn't that be much better than not doing anything and then see your children fall over the balcony?

Govt agencies / MCST are deaf or lazy to all these. I also want to install the grilles including the back yard, but I fear they will drag their feet on it.

Hello JJ
just curious, which stack are you? why you one is so fast. I am at stack 22, I just got letter for first 5% last month only, I saw my stack is quite advance. But you one is reaching to one more step to TOP. Can't believe SL.
Thanks

Don't the developer have to clear it with the relevant authorities? By right, i believe the balcony is like a PES area isnt it? Meaning is a "public" area not under owners ownership....

ya man... not to mention renovators are busiest during Dec - CNY period. Must book them earlier but they still will rush work.

Ya, I will install regardless for safety reason. If u folks see it, please kindly don't report me

PES is Private Enclosed Space (we paid for it, like ground floor garden, baloncy, penthouse roof terrace)

Oops... I stirred a nest huh.... better keep low profile.
But the tot of safety is really too overwhelming. Esp. when not too long ago, read that a child actually fell through.
Not sure what's the exact rule. But when i look at place like Kovan residence, I can't see any invisible grille.... (maybe they're the really invisible ones) :p
When I want to install things at my current place, the MCST always say can't coz will affect external facade. That's when i always point out to them all the clothes hanging around on ppl's window.... haha. That's even more affecting external facade.
Hi Brothers & Sisters
Attached are pictures taken on 20 April from block 65 Tropica.
Looking at the progress, very unlikely that we can collect our keys this year :doh:.

I understand, a few in the prime stacks facing reservoir have paid 60%, so their next payment would be at TOP, I just paid another 10% making a total of 50%. Your next payments should be for brickwalls and ceiling, each 5%.:)

Look at the speed of installing bacony glass panels facing against the quary, it was quite fast, it is about 1-2 days to complete one stack. I guess we still can get keys this year.

I was on course last week. When I came back on Sunday, i was so surprised and happy to see my stack and bro Kengar's stack balconies are finally installed!
Yes, it's really fast! When I went to reservior on last Tuesday, there is still no progress at all... SL is fast if they want to :D I guess the balcony are some sign of completion of the unit :p
so far the reservior facing and quary facing blocks are FULLY installed the balconies! I guess the inner blocks will catch up faster...
Give them one more month to complete the car park (possible? Mr Tay??)
I believe SL wants to complete by Q3 2013. That will benefit them the most.
Let's prey for our key collection @ 2013!!! :cheers5:

I have no idea cause I can't tell what's the state of progress for the car park. But since the car park is actually ground floor and the raised flooring looks like almost done throughout the entire area, which would be the ceiling of the car park, then I guess one more month should be do-able. Anyway, no reason for SL to delay, the faster they complete, they get their moneys and move on and cut down on own employees expense and other time-based fixed costs. By now, most works are sub-contracts which are fixed agreed costs with SL. 8 months is certainly do-able ie year end. Q3 well - perhaps end Q3 and early Q4 would be a bonus for us all and SL as well. But moving in Xmas 13 looks a bit tough. Even if complete end Q3, 1 month for inspection to TOP, 1 month collect keys, 1 month own inspection/rectification. 1 month own ID works, hmnn and CNY on 31 Jan 14, looks like a Mar 14 move-in. Plan for the worst, hope for the best and we won't be disappointed, anything better than Mar 14 is a bonus ... of course if one is currently on rented premises and tenure expiring soon, its tough ....Lets pray and hope.

Very confident they can TOP in Q4 and we will move in by end Q1. From current looks, i think end Q3 they can trigger TOP inspection while they work to complete the surroundings

Record 18,400 new homes to come on-stream
Supply flood this year set to further cool market and slow rental growth
By Esther Teo Property Correspondent
A RECORD number of homes is expected to be completed in Singapore this year.
This comes on the back of the bumper land supply pushed out by the Government to tame the red-hot property market in the past few years.
An estimated 18,400 homes are set to be built this year, easily eclipsing the previous high of 14,600 units built in 1997, Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) data out yesterday showed.
This supply is likely to cool the market further after the seventh round of measures - which included tighter loan limits and higher stamp duties - was unveiled in January this year.
Rental growth is also expected to slow towards the latter part of the year in the light of these completions, experts say.
Already, private home prices have moderated in both the landed and non-landed segments as the slew of curbs take red-hot temperatures in the property market down a notch.
Prices inched up just 0.6 per cent in the first three months of the year, well down from the 1.8 per cent gain in the period before, according to URA's data.
This is slightly up from the 0.5 per cent increase when the flash estimates were released earlier this month, indicating that prices have accelerated slightly in the final few weeks of the quarter.
The flash estimates are based on transaction prices of caveats lodged during the first 10 weeks of the quarter.
But gains in home prices have softened across the board compared with the final quarter of last year.
Non-landed homes, such as condominium units and apartments, posted gains of just 0.7 per cent, down from 1.8 per cent before. Landed home prices were also up just 0.5 per cent, slowing from a 1.8 per cent rise in the same period.
But rents in the first quarter increased at a slightly faster pace of 0.8 per cent - a clip higher than the 0.7 per cent previously - as rental demand remained healthy.
Experts say the cooling measures are filtering through the residential property market, with developers dangling discounts and investment demand from buyers retreating.
The number of resale and sub-sale transactions has also dropped, they noted, with most predicting private home prices to rise about 3 per cent to 4 per cent this year.
However, the coming months will be the real litmus test for market demand and the effectiveness of the cooling measures as more new residential projects - particularly from the ramped-up Government Land Sales programme - are progressively launched.
Ms Chia Siew Chuin, Colliers International's director of research and advisory services, added that although private rents have continued to creep up in the first quarter, they are expected to be modest for the rest of the year.
This is the result of a steady stream of new project completions and the Government's tightening of foreign worker inflows.
Major projects completed in the first quarter include NV Residences in Pasir Ris, with 642 units, Ascentia Sky in Alexandra View, consisting of 373 units, and the 329-unit The Gale in Flora Road, CBRE noted.
Other completions expected for the rest of the year include CapitaLand's The Interlace at Alexandra Road, with 1,040 units, Tampines project Waterview, comprising 696 units, and the 616-unit Waterbank at Dakota.
Record 18,400 new homes to come on-stream
Supply flood this year set to further cool market and slow rental growth
By Esther Teo Property Correspondent
A RECORD number of homes is expected to be completed in Singapore this year.
This comes on the back of the bumper land supply pushed out by the Government to tame the red-hot property market in the past few years.
An estimated 18,400 homes are set to be built this year, easily eclipsing the previous high of 14,600 units built in 1997, Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) data out yesterday showed.
This supply is likely to cool the market further after the seventh round of measures - which included tighter loan limits and higher stamp duties - was unveiled in January this year.
Rental growth is also expected to slow towards the latter part of the year in the light of these completions, experts say.
Already, private home prices have moderated in both the landed and non-landed segments as the slew of curbs take red-hot temperatures in the property market down a notch.
Prices inched up just 0.6 per cent in the first three months of the year, well down from the 1.8 per cent gain in the period before, according to URA's data.
This is slightly up from the 0.5 per cent increase when the flash estimates were released earlier this month, indicating that prices have accelerated slightly in the final few weeks of the quarter.
The flash estimates are based on transaction prices of caveats lodged during the first 10 weeks of the quarter.
But gains in home prices have softened across the board compared with the final quarter of last year.
Non-landed homes, such as condominium units and apartments, posted gains of just 0.7 per cent, down from 1.8 per cent before. Landed home prices were also up just 0.5 per cent, slowing from a 1.8 per cent rise in the same period.
But rents in the first quarter increased at a slightly faster pace of 0.8 per cent - a clip higher than the 0.7 per cent previously - as rental demand remained healthy.
Experts say the cooling measures are filtering through the residential property market, with developers dangling discounts and investment demand from buyers retreating.
The number of resale and sub-sale transactions has also dropped, they noted, with most predicting private home prices to rise about 3 per cent to 4 per cent this year.
However, the coming months will be the real litmus test for market demand and the effectiveness of the cooling measures as more new residential projects - particularly from the ramped-up Government Land Sales programme - are progressively launched.
Ms Chia Siew Chuin, Colliers International's director of research and advisory services, added that although private rents have continued to creep up in the first quarter, they are expected to be modest for the rest of the year.
This is the result of a steady stream of new project completions and the Government's tightening of foreign worker inflows.

So nice of you. Thanks so much. Truly appreciate your effort. Wah all very motivated. This Q-Bay even faster!! The huge stones are already there!!! Super duper fast!!:D
I took a slow walk of about 2hrs around the circumference of WV. Minus the line along Tropica. The place looks good indeed. The blue has been shadowed by its overall appearance. Light sounds of wooden materials being hammered and drilling can be heard. They're probably completing the interiors in some of the units.
There's really much more to complete although we're looking at an earlier completion. The final details and touch up will probably take some time. Just sharing my thoughts. I could be wrong though. It's such a peaceful place really. Very nice with simplicity at its best. My block has declared itself to be the slowest of them all. Grrrrr..... :p :D

I went to expo yesterday.... visited a few interior design stall, most of them have no solution for my big big big backyard balcony. :banghead:
one greenhorn ID even proposed a 白钢 cabinet for water proof outdoor storage :doh:
My huge backyard is around 3.6mx 1.75m = 6.3 sqft m = 67.8 sqft > 60K SGD!!! :hell-hath-no-fury:
I'm totally frustrated! developer only paid a little for the balcony fee but we had paid that huge balcony with huge $$$ but it's not livable at all!
is there a way to approach any authority? why we paid so much and yet cant be used at all?
Really a super expensive white elephant!
I dont see how this can be a fault for the authority or the developer?
This question should have been asked before putting your money down for the purchase. Unless the developer has built a big backyard without your knowledge....

Make the best use of it you can. A back balcony is useful for drying clothes (unlike my place where I've to bring everything from the yard to the balcony at the front of the living room to dry).
And when I dry my clothes, I cannot leave it out on my front balcony for too long because it's unsightly (both from inside and outside the house; and MC also doesn't like it). At least you won't have this problem.
If you can built an invisible grills to block out water, perhaps can build a utility room or study area there since it is linked to the master bedroom...just a though.
I thought that i have is if i can build the invisible grill, i can have the ID check if i can create a space there for my maid's room, and since there is an opening from the master bedroom, i can have a study/working area there as well.
As for drying of clothes...dryer or at the main balcony....
so the key is whether we can build that invisible grills, if it can block water we might me able to do alot there provided if there isnt any violation building what we want...

I think I posted before. I know we can't install grills, those glass type panel which is install just before the opening which allows to open and close fully is something maybe consider, it does affect the appearance and we might need to apply for it. But it's cost at least 10 grand to have it installed.

My sincere apologies bro. Will try get it down soonest. Didn't mean to scare you.
In mho balcony is better than having big aircon ledge or planters. At least u can have steamboat in balcony during chinese new year.

At my current HDB, I have alot of laundries at home to hang.. 2 adults, 2 kids and 1 helper. I normally hang them indoor at the kitchen ceiling instead of hanging outside window as I am worried about water/cigarette ash from inconsideration neighbours upstairs. (and also bird poo :P).
Most of the time the laundries would be overflowed to one of the bedroom that gets some direct sun which i also used as a storage.
The back balcony will be helpful to me to allow the future WV bedroom to be freed and put into proper use. (Though i will lose some space across all the other rooms for this extra back balcony space).
There will be more stuffs along the years where you just acquire and don't know where to keep. I supposed the back balcony is one such dumping ground.
Eeks... I thought this is "family" friendly forum. Why got so scary picture!
My back balcony is to hang clothes to dry and put my WM/Dryer and some of the cleaning supplies
The front balcony is quite "wasted" in a sense as it will most likely just another place to hang laundry. For those facing reservoir... maybe will be nice to sit out there in the morning to have breakfast. I will also build shoe cabinets in this balcony.

I asked what material they plan to use,, they say laminated wood can tahan the exposed weather condition.. BUT if wet must wipe off immediately.. DUhzzzz.. so my helper have to stand there and wipe the poor cabinet whenever it rains? hahaa :D
I think have to rethink.. the material has got to be PVC and aluminium.

Those look like Keter outdoor storage sheds. With Carrefour gone, wonder who carries Keter and Rubbermaid products? Giant? Thinking of installing two of those tall ones in that space behind the MBR backdoor (which I asked Developer to seal up with brickwall). Good to keep laundry stuff, vacuum cleaner, etc, even tin food, as kitchen cabinet "no-enough". The movable sliding-folding glass panel windows would be a nice though expensive project if new owner-MC bold enough to approve. I think URA guidelines only require that anything installed in back balcony must allow through ventilation. Only question is brickwall built to take the weight. Cheaper alternative is bamboo blinds (black & white stripes can look stunning) with pvc backing should be able to hold off the rain. :cool:

Hi EL,
Yes, the front balcony must be used for lifestyle. It would be a waste and injustice to put cupboards or hang laundry at the front.
The back balcony, you could install the rattan blinds that are used for outdoors to prevent rain. Use the blinds only when there is rain.
As for your cupboards, there's no choice. I have the same intentions as you to build full height cupboards on the wall with the MBR back door.
May I also bring attention to all of you that for most blocks, the back balcony doesn't have much exposure: a) they are very close to your neighbour and b) the back of block is being obstructed by the next block.
Take my stack 35 as an example. My backyard will see into my back neighbours backyard, but also the MBR of the next block. My block and the next block is very, very close, likely a difference of 3-5 meters - I am not kidding. See site plan below:

Do you think those bath room cupboards are waterproof? if we search hard, maybe it's possible to build full height cupboard with reasonable price.
And hopefully we can install windows after the first year inspection :D
it seems we have to install window grid at least, otherwise it's too dangerourse. as i alerted before, it's highly possible for one to move from the back balcony to the back-to-back neighbour's. we will see when key collected..

Yes, my stack 46 is shielded by stack 45, and only the aircon ledge is exposed. Basically NE monsoon from Dec to Mar and SW monsoon from Jun to Sep, should not hit the back balcony for Stack 46 in theory. But due to eddy currents, swirling winds etc in very heavy rain, bound to get wet, so will need at least some blinds. :cool:

Sorry, I just think everyone is talking about how to use the place, don't waste it. To me my store room is enough to keep the things, so not interest about full high cabinet.
I also suggest to everyone to install a fan in the backyard area.
The fan will help to dry the floor if it's wet or the clothes if there's no sun :-)
The fan i'm referring to is the normal round fan and not the ceiling blade type - this is to be more functional. I will also install fans in the bathrooms - this helps to keep the bathroom dry and mold-free.
I will be installing the blade type for the front balcony.

And I think the most important thing is don't let the water come in, if the problem can be solved, no matter full high cabinet or table for ironing, Buffet, no matter use water proof material or not, it will not be a problem any more.
My house currently facing the first DBSS (in Tampines). They also have a very big balcony, many of them use the way I mentioned in my previous post to avoid the water. One of my friends lives there, put the study table and computer in the balcony, she said it just nice, like a real study room, almost no water go in.

Yes, together with the grills better.
But some condo, even water proof blinds also don't allow. My another friend lives in waterfront key, she say so, but she don't care, still use it, so far nobody go to check and ask her remove it.

Most condos backyard can install windows. My current one, I've put in a casement window so rain wont come in but usually i don't have to close it fully anyway. Some of my neighbours use blinds. Let's see what WV allows but rules seem more lax with backyards since they are not visible externally.
As for aircon ledge... by right..... nothing there. but some garang neighbours, actually can put in something that resembles a clothes hanger where they can put bamboo sticks ... haha.... A few put those retractable clothes hanger. Of coz, dun over do la..... but for small clothings, hanging over the aircon units (and will not touch the units) do seem like a good idea.... if my opp neighbour do it, i wont complain la.. .haha, since only i can see. WV design, the backyard and ledge area is relatively conceal
maybe we can source some constructor to provide customized cabinet, at good price, since so many of us really want to fully utilize the back balcony...
Good idea!!! Do share, I have not source around... probably 3Q then start doing coz i expect 4Q get keys :p
For me, balcony, confirm left wall, right wall, full size ceiling cupboard. but not as big as those you've shown. 1 side most likely is purely shoe cabinet. The other side...just shelvings... but must do nicely and blend in with color scheme so that look like false wall! And waterproof! wah... my request like v. challenging

Really appreciate the photo updates from our FEC! Thanks eastguy!
Those look like Keter outdoor storage sheds. With Carrefour gone, wonder who carries Keter and Rubbermaid products? Giant? Thinking of installing two of those tall ones in that space behind the MBR backdoor (which I asked Developer to seal up with brickwall). Good to keep laundry stuff, vacuum cleaner, etc, even tin food, as kitchen cabinet "no-enough". The movable sliding-folding glass panel windows would be a nice though expensive project if new owner-MC bold enough to approve. I think URA guidelines only require that anything installed in back balcony must allow through ventilation. Only question is brickwall built to take the weight. Cheaper alternative is bamboo blinds (black & white stripes can look stunning) with pvc backing should be able to hold off the rain. :cool:
Keter is available at Giant, Courts and NTUC extra. They do carry nicer designs than the one posted above.... Price is pretty fixed.

Most condos backyard can install windows. My current one, I've put in a casement window so rain wont come in but usually i don't have to close it fully anyway. Some of my neighbours use blinds. Let's see what WV allows but rules seem more lax with backyards since they are not visible externally.
As for aircon ledge... by right..... nothing there. but some garang neighbours, actually can put in something that resembles a clothes hanger where they can put bamboo sticks ... haha.... A few put those retractable clothes hanger. Of coz, dun over do la..... but for small clothings, hanging over the aircon units (and will not touch the units) do seem like a good idea.... if my opp neighbour do it, i wont complain la.. .haha, since only i can see.

here is the quotation:
1. along the balcony - 3 pieces fully open windows:$2100
2. along the aircon ledge - 2 pieces: $1400

So if you want to install the fully enclosed windows in backyard, it will cost you about $3.5K
good news is that we can nego further for group discount...:D

By the way, see the reply from SL for aircon ledge..
Under URA approval, the a/c ledge cannot be use for any other purposes other than placement of a/c equipments. Therefore drying ledge cannot be approved to be installed in a/c ledge.

not to install on the ledge, but on the window to the ledge.
But anyway, for these foldout windows, they do affect the external appearance... but you have my signature, it does look nice interior wise

sorry if i misled you... i just want to quote the reply from SL that they will surely follow law one.
i asked SL before if we can install a laundry hanger in aircon ledge, since it's so huge, they gave me a firm reply with a big "NO".
So for balcony windows (even backyard one), i don't think SL will allow us to do so..... but what if everyone in FEC do so? :D

But is really dangerous not to install anything in the yard with children around.
I really want to install one in my backyward. Can the developer sue me on this? Can I challenge them back base on the law, they should advise us a set of common grill which we can install.. but we have not hear from them till date and we need a safe home for the kids? A house is just a house..wear and tear or old le, can sell away. But when a kid fall down from the house, who is going to pay me back?

Ha ha, pl see the attached from URA
http://www.ura.gov.sg/pr/forum/2013/forum13-02.html
Question is, is our back balcony included in the computations of GFA when developer submitted to URA for approval, if yes, then it would appear that we check with developer what were the pre-approved designs or simply write to URA to seek guidance. But if the service balconies were not part of the GFA (meaning developer was exempted from the GFA charges 'but yet owners paid for the floor space"), then we can only approach the MCST to endorse the proposal prior to seeking approval from URA on a case by case basis.
So, MCST must first agree, then, seek URA's approval, what if MCST don't agree, can we go to URA direct?:doh:

Don't jump the gun. Developers are generally reasonable and will allow for some standard protective/safety grille. It is too early to disseminate such information. Typically, all info will be contained in the house-rules when you collect your keys or available from the MA at TOP.

This is the most rational response. I think it would be good to put some of the procedures out in the open so all here can get an idea of how complex the process of getting proper approval is and that the Management Committee's job is not so simple.
It's very easy to say that the MC needs to to this and that, and suggestions can come fast and furious - but who is actually going to do the work? Who will want to be part of the MC and face residents with all sorts of suggestions who do not understand the legislation and procedures but look only at their self interest?
1. First, a comprehensive design needs to be drawn up including description of materials, safety features and artists impressions. This has to be submitted to the MC for endorsement. Who wants to do this and at who's cost? The person doing this (not the MC or the developer) may also have to get planning approval from URA. URA, will just tell you whether they object or not, but will not tell you if the design or materials contravene any other legistation e.g. increase or bust the allowable Gross Floor Area (GFA) for the development.
2. If the design is decent, I believe there needs to be 90% agreement obtained at an AGM to get any additions that will affect the facade of the development. Consider whether this is easy to achieve?
3. If 90% agreement on the resolution can be obtained, the MC will then have to submit the design to URA for approval. Meanwhile it has to be determined that the design does not increase or bust the GFA for the development and the materials and contractor doing the supply and installation are approved. I understand that getting this information can sometimes be harder than squeezing blood from stone.
4. If all the above are approved and the addition & alteration is deemed not to increase the GFA of the development, the MC can then use the design as a template for all others who wish to install the addition. If anyone wants to install a variation of it, they will have to go through the whole process all over again.
5. Do note that the waterproofing warranty for the walls and possibly floor around the area will be rendered void once an addition or alteration is done.
It just sounds daunting to me...

My 5th and 6th payment came yesterday at one go. Need to check with the specialists. I'm a rookie when it comes to property. Thought I was the last one left behind. There's someone else out there now. Hahahha. Cheers bro. :D
this one i also dont understand, must consult Mr Tay :p
Ha ha, no worries. Paper work always trails behind actual works. SL is an experienced builder and has gone thru this umpteen times. So shouldn't have undue surprises and set-backs. Once works are completed and certified by QP and compliance certs by the various authorities, as-builts plans highlighting deviations, etc only then can QP apply for joint site inspection to BCA which is btw 10 days to 4 weeks after such application, pass inspection then can submit TOP application.... so happy monitoring...Its coming out nicely and looking very pretty ....:D

I believe 15% is overall completion of the project. Usually when TOP, condo facilities or surrounding works may not be complete when move in.

YES, number 9 TOP, then collection key.
After one year, they do inspection (see if you install windows in balcony :D :D ), then we pay the last 15%.
by then, we our dear FEC will fully take over our dear WV and live happily ever after...:cheers4:

Generosity and kindness at work. Honestly didn't know such payment made a year after TOP. Thought they will hold a glinting knife by our throat and ensure all paid up before handing the keys over. I like your mention of installing the windows in the balcony as the best excuse.
I hope I don't see you turn green and make a raft out of your window grill by the reservoir. If that happens, I'll volunteer to be your photographer or I'll get our Zeamybro to do it. :D

Hurray, East Lover, maybe someone could be a little slip-short in the paper work.I said "maybe", so the concerned persons out there..pl don't flame me...but after our Dear Ms East Lover (of CSI fame) reported the matter, permit was issued on 7 MAY 2013!!!. Ha ha.. but in fairness, there were a total of 4 permits issued and the last one could be for something recent.
In theory, without the permit to carry out structural works ... builder can't even commence piling and foundation works, etc or carry out at builder's own risk, insurance can be voided should some mishaps happen during construction, so unlikely builder, developer and QP would take such a risk, so more likely the last permit could be for some minor works that was left out in the earlier applications. :sleep:

Hi, Brother
No warry, even only one block not finished, all others can't get move in right?
I just got 6) & 7) combine as 10% letter last evening when I open my mail box.
That is less than two monthes after I received 5)
two more steps to go for collecting keys.
So I guess TOP at 3rd quarter is still possible if SL want to, TOP at 4th quarter is firmed.

This is for issue of Certificate of Statutory Completion - CSC, which is not necessarily 1 yr after TOP. In fact usually, authorities require CSC to be obtained within 1 year of TOP. So it can also be issued together with TOP if all the authorities requirements for compliance are met.. which would mean that the last 15% of progress payments can also fall due. CSC does not depend on the 1 year maintenance period.;)

Mr Tay, thanks! That's interesting to know that the 15% can even be paid earlier than one year after TOP....
But from this status, can we conclude that this project is ready for TOP???

Yes, if the project meets all the compliance requirements for the issuance of CSC by the Commissioner of Building Control (whatever that date is), then Cl 5.4 of the SPA gets triggered, then 8% goes to SL, 5% goes to the Singapore Academy of Law (as stakeholder for safekeeping). This 5% gets paid to SL on Final Payment Date (which is essentially when the 1 year maintenance period is over). The remaining 2% gets paid on Completion Date.
Yes, for the project awaiting inspection of CSC, once CSC is issued, building can be occupied. TOP as the name implies is Temporary, that means that, certain other minor items have not been fully complied with but the building is safe and habitable. Usually, TOP is first applied, then CSC.
For WV, If I compare with NV Residences, around 6 Jun 12, owners received letters to pay 5% for carpark, roads and drains. Phase 1 TOP was 14 Jan 13, Phase 2 27 Mar 13. Now is already coming to 2nd week of May 13, and carpark, roads and drains for WV not completed yet, once we all get this payment letter, then TOP should be within 6 months, based on NV's case.

Happy Weekends!
Want to ask for some advise. I am considering minor interior design works, with the following,
1. Wallpaper (for some of the walls) to take away the harshness of just a pain over. - thoughts on this? I have never used wallpaper before and non of my family members use them in their houses.
2. Built in TV console - I want to build a Entertainment Center into the wall, with lots of cabinets - any recommendations?
3. Mixture of curtains and blinds for all the windows - My stack faces the Quarry and have 45 degree sunlight hitting our windows - assuming it will get plenty hot.
4. Looking for beds with storage underneath it to keep all our junk.
5. Should I engage a designer or save money and do it myself.
Thanks in advance for the reply.
Saw e workers removing e site office at left of entrance this morning. Clearing e way to build e bin centre. Looks like home run now, left the swimming pools n the club house. I think we are physically more advanced than NV was in may 12, so TOP end 13 more likely, n Nov may even be a possibilty. B-):-D;-):-P:-*

Spot on, my friend. That's where the transformers and switchgears will be located. But on the rooftop, that's going to be the barbecue pits and alfresco dining area. My advice to all the young couples would be that if you need baby boys to add to your family, better use the other barbecue pits near the children's pool. If you want daughters, then go ahead, use this barbecue bit. No warranties given however for this advice. This notice applies only to the menfolks. Ladies not included. :D

I was one of those who hated the crystal blue colour when I 1st saw it, but it seems to be growing on me. It actually looks quite pleasant from across the reservoir.
As for my block's progress(stack 17), I'm paid up 55% as at end Mar2013. At that point, it was indicated TOP possibly 4Q 2013.:)
are they slowing down with the constructing? As I have notice nothing was done on the balcony glass panels and also the sliding doors:character0029: for units facing quarry and the petrol kiosk since 2 weeks ago. :(
It has remain as it is when I drove daily to work...no progress. I am starting to get anxious over TOP...

Mr Tay, sorry... I would like to consult you again, from expert point of view, what is the realistic timeline for WV TOP? :rolleyes:
Minton in September. Yes, I believe. That's what is known as the estimated time. By the looks of it we should know if September is possible.
Minton being on a larger scale will definitely take a slightly longer time. However, I'm sure they have many more men to do the job too. Estimated time is really vague. It can be delayed by months even due to "unforeseen circumstances". So I still take CNY 2014 to be the time based on my naked eyes and sensibility.
Of course I also want an early TOP but I'm just trying to be practical. Yes, maybe our analytical Mr Tay can help us. Hehe...:D

Move in by Xmas 13 - unlikely if want to be some ID works... and my view is if cannot make it by Xmas 13, also unlikely for CNY 14 since that is on 31 Jan 14. 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after, all construction sites shut down and there is an exodus of workers back home.

What I mean is TOP expected end Q4.
Come end Q3, she will be able to advise if TOP can be done earlier....
So Q4 looks like the likely TOP.. More towards end Q4... So if earlier will be a bonus...
Did you know that Sim Lian owns Orange Tee.
Prices climbing up hor.... Wait until TOP, climb will be more... There is a new government land sales next to Qbay....
Believe Far East will bid aggressive on it....
more than 80% sold on Qbay

Yes, very likely to be sometime around Q4 or early 2014 should there be some delay here and there should there be any. Wow! 80% of Qbay sold!!! That's great. Anyway the place looks good also. Beary beary nice. I like Qbay!!
Btw big bro, you're right on the overall looks of WV. It's really serene and beautiful. Just that initially most of us feel kinda cheated for not being informed of the blue. Just kinda shocking to see something unfamiliar. Now, that time has passed and move onto a new chapter. Very nice, sweet and simplicity at its best. :D
I just received another letter frm my lawyer to call for 5% payment for the door & window frames, electrical wiring. 1 more to go to TOP... So happy... Happy weekend ahead!:)

How fast can move-in depends on individual preference mah. Q4 TOP, get key, move-in also can. If you dun need ID or much renovation. Last condo I see, TOP, 1 week later see ppl staying liao... amazing.
Some neighbours v. fussy about this and that, so check unit, a lot of patch-work, patch here and there. 1 month later, still checking 2nd round, 3rd round. Then can't get ID to start work since have to finish with patching by developers first.

There is a stack facing quarry and nearest to the junction, still have not install the balcony glass but saw the air con is up. why arr? i thought should be the other way round first, right?
Hi all,
Can the property experts here advise if we are allowed to change the balcony doors?
From what i see today, the balcony doors being installed are sliding type - 3 panels.
Was thinking of changing them to a) full glass that can be folded so you expose the entire space or b) wooden framed with glass for that tropical/bali style.
Can anybody shed some light on this matter?

I think they are busy on the swiming pool as there are cover on the swiming pool, there may be some kind of welding work as well as tiling work so they need cover. Right?
