View Full Version : Hedges Park (D17, 99 Years Leasehold, Tripartite Developers Pte Ltd)
have we got a facebook group?
wats the address?
I certainly also am not in favor of widening Flora Drive. Its best to leave it as it is. Any widening is sure to encroach the pavement. Residents of units near tothe road will suffer the most.
I also frankly don't think bus service along Flora Drive necessary. So long as bus services run along Upp Changi Rd North , i think its sufficient.
there is already provision for road widening of flora road, starting from azalea park, up to flora drive where the current inflora showroom is, in the form of an extra wide pavement. it's a matter of time that the road will be widened in this portion of the road to ease the traffic at the T junction turning into flora drive, which is a good thing. however it's impossible to widen flora drive towards the end leading to upper changi road north.
i think a bustop along flora drive is fine, so long as only a single bus no. runs thru it to prevent congestion. this can improve much needed connectivity for po, pi and inflora residents.
i m still hoping that commercial shops will be available along flora drive opposite po and pi, and a bustop can serve them. not to worry about road congestion, as i m thinking of a small mixed development mainly to serve the more basic needs of the immediate community by foot, not the type that draws crowds from other regions. i just can't help imagining how pleasant it's going to be to have some quiet little restaurants, cafes, bakeries, coffee shop, convenient mart and such lining flora drive...

There's some sketchy mentioned of Tampines Regional Centre, Tampines North, and Changi Point that might have some spill over effect.
I think it's good that the area don't become too vibrant lest it loses its tranquility. Changi Point with spas, recreation spots, hotels, etc. might be interesting for us though.

I called up Hong Leong, redirected to Tripartite. The PM in charge of Hedges is on leave these few days. I will call again next week. Anyone has any question that needs clarification?
I was seeking clarification on the TOP date. Original brochure states Dec 2014, some brochure pasted over with June 2015, some websites show either dates, CDL 2012AR shows 2014. From the person I spoke to (not PM so may not have correct picture), seems like they are working based on 2014.
Another clarification is if the units would be fibre ready. I am sure we do not want the buildings and internal of our unit to be uglified by visible trunking.

Agree, actually i like the way it is now, the only thing i m expecting is what we are going to have on the piece of land discussed earlier, and i m not greedy lol, a small super market would be perfect.
I noticed one change on the map, the piece of land where currently occupied by expo Hall 7,8,9 has changed from blue to yellow, maybe we can expect sth on this piece of land as well.

In the previous discussion, Loonsy mentioned that we can submit a proposal to MCST if we have enough top floor owners who want to cover up their balcony, so you can help us check whether is this the standard procedure? If yes, how many top floor owners it requires, and what do we need to prepare (documents); If no, what are the alternatives? thank you !:cheers4:

My concern on contrary is ; noise.
And yes, my unit is right next to the road.
After years living at a place with a bus stop right downstairs, I can tell you; it can be pretty disturbing. :scared-1:
Just saw from today's zaobao, one construction worker killed in an accident when working in Flora driver site, hired by Lian Beng Construction, it should be Hedges park site.

indeed. apparently he was hit by the glass sliding doors stored on the carpark level and sent to changi hospital 2 days ago, where he passed away. bless his soul. :(
transportation of sliding doors have ceased while investigations are taking place.

understand your concern. if a bus stop (ever) materialises, i don't think u need to worry as it's quite impossible to have one along the flora drive stretch where hedges park is, due to the narrow pavement and road bend, which will be dangerous for drivers due to the obstructed view. the stretch where the monstrous green utility building is (opposite PO) will be more suitable.

Ok, just ended the call with the PM for Hedges. Really friendly and service oriented. Thumbs up!
1. TOP. The official TOP on paper is 31 June 2015. TID is nonetheless working on the internal target of 2013Q4. As of now, they are working hard and is making towards towards TOP of 2013Q4.
2. Fiber readiness. While we are not promised fiber points, TID is working to include at least the first fiber point into each unit. They are still in discussion with OpenNet on the schedule and all. They are in the final stages of the discussion and should be able to confirm in another 1-2 months time. Additional information was that TID managed to deliver Gale with fiber point in each units. Anyone with contacts in Gale can confirm this?
3. Covering up of top floor balcony. GFA for Hedges had been fully used up. So long as it does not affect the GFA, it is possible. There is however need to comply with certain house rules. Details are in para p of the brochure:
Roofing Over / Enclosing Private Enclosed Space, Open Terrace and Balcony
The Purchaser acknowledges that he is aware that the open-air private enclosed space(s) and/or open terrace(s) and/or balcony(ies) in the Unit (collectively the “Open-Air Spaces”) (if any) are designed and intended to be open to the sky / open air spaces and that the Purchaser shall therefore not be entitled to cause or require the Open-Air Spaces (if any) to be roofed over or enclosed in any manner unless prior written consent of the relevant competent authorities and the Vendor or the Management Corporation (when formed) are first had and obtained, nor shall he be entitled to raise objections to the fact that the Open Air Spaces (if any) is/are open to the sky (if any). In addition, the Purchaser shall also at all times observe the rules, regulations and by-laws of the Management Corporation (when formed) with regard to the roofing over or enclosing of the Open-Air Spaces.
If it is not a permanent fixture but a piece of furniture like an umbrella, it is generally fine, but need to confirm with house rules set by the MCST. If it is some some of tentage that is not quite a piece of furniture, then this needs to be passed by the MCST. A motion needs to be put up, and there is no quorum required. The key thing perhaps is the fact that this can only be done on CSC, not TOP. The MCST would be the developer until CSC, who is obligated to deliver as per approved plans. The MCST handed over to the residents may then put up such motions as new projects.
4. Non building of partition walls. This is possible, and in fact TID received and approved several requests. Deadline has however closed about 6 months back. My agent and lawyer are IMO lazy. They told me not to bother since the developer would not entertain except for boutique small projects. TID considers this as a simple service and would accede requests if they are able to accommodate without impact to their progress.
5. Last land plot belonging to TID. The developer too is keen on the idea of rezoning that parcel. They have thought about it too. Not sure if they had net URA about this though. Now that the URA Masterplan 2013 is in draft, the authorities would take in suggestions from everyone. What we can do to further this is probably to all write in to URA to know them know that there is a sizeable group of residents in the area (Flora Road/Drive/Mariam Way/etc.) who would like, welcome, and support a little commercial development in the area. At the same time, write in to TID and let them know that there is healthy demand and potential commercial viability.
I would say that my impression of HLH/CDL/TID went up knowing that they are not a sell and forget kind of developer but takes steps to ensure satisfaction.

Otherwise, can snail mail to HLH since TID shares the same address (not CDL though).

Yes, I must say speaking to the PM left me a good impression of TID. Happy that I bought into one of their projects, but sad that I didn't attempt to move further to contact the developer to not build some partition walls. I'm now feeling so sore that doing my own hacking would not give me a seamless parquet on the removed wall area... :(

Went to get updated on progress last Friday. Not much discernable progress. The clothes gotta come off! :p
Anyhow, from what I could see, the observable partition walls are all up already. Some still in naked red bricks, some plastered over. Just wondering how much it took such a long time since the last 5% disbursement of the reinforced walls?
Spiral road to basement carpark/clubhouse area. Shape is taking form.

PI have the same TOP as Hedges but with smaller land and lesser units. On top of that, they have clustered housing on top of condos.
PO has slightly land size and slightly lesser units, and TOP is 6 months after Hedges.
I don't think think PO or even PI has all blocks at full height? Or the first call for the 5% reinforced wall? I don't think PI/PO are much faster. Maybe the next visit I'll take a closer peek at them.
I'm don't have any experience but from what I happened to casually observe from Prive, once the windows are up, the progress moves fast. In a matter of weeks I saw aircons on the ledges. Then couple weeks the landscaping starts to show. Then the entrance guardhouse and finally, people moving in. Just a couple months. Maybe within 6 from no paintwork to people moving in.
I hope that after CNY the pace moves up a few notches.

PI and PO were up for sale in April and July 2012 respectively. HP was up for sale in April 2011.
Considering that HP was for sale one year (plus) before PI and PO, I had to determine that HP progress is slow, comparatively.
For my unit at HP, alas, to date, I have not received the 2nd 10% call for payment (for reinforced concrete framework - something like that). Hence, my above conclusion and doubt of TOP in 2014.
Coupled with the rainy season these days, :scared-2:

Coupled with the rainy season these days, :scared-2:
HP for whatever reasons also happen to have the slowest sales progress...
The construction sequence seems to be Blk 79->77->75->71->71->83->81->87->85->89.
Bro mka had the 5% called end-Sept. Maybe he can share which block/floor he's on?

Mine is at the ground level. #02 blk 83
Just received my next notification for 5%.
Completion of brick walls/ partition wall

Me too. Progress seems to be slow though.
Hi all,
It has been a while since there's any updates on HP. I've drove past this evening and didn't notice any significant change.
My agent who watsapp me on New Year Eve said everything is on schedule. Anyone has any info if construction is indeed on time?
Regards,
I've been there 1 Jan ,still no wall T_T. And a huge converting station built beside the BL 71 which I haven't been noticed before. Although it is located out of our zone , really close!

The station beside blk 71 was built in dec. But other than that, no other visible progress.
So worried. Really can complete on time, ie end of august this year, as stated on the big white board? I wonder...

17-01-14, 09:04
Finally got my brick walls 5% notice.
Kinda worried. Stack 31-35 was certified completed only on 15th Jan. And only till #05.
Not optimistic that TOP can occur this year...
Made my no. 4 pymt of another 10% ytdy.
Wonder if the project can be completed by year end.

Progress of construction:

2) Sliding doors and windows installed in many units.
3) Interior flooring is being done up.
4) Car park below Marina Boating Pool area is constructed. Currently they are working on the Marina Pool itself. Can see the outlines of the Marina Pool already.

Happy new year guys!
I went for progress update yesterday. The substation area is about ready. At least for the last row (substation end), all the units up till 6th floor had the balcony sliding doors installed.
The carpark slope is also in the works. Can see the reinforced steel internals.
Let the photos and videos do the talking.

Thanks for the update bro. Happy and prosperous Lunar New Year to you.
At this rate, when do you think is the expected TOP date?
first sub-sale for hedges park:
HEDGES PARK CONDOMINIUM FLORA DRIVE Condominium 17 OCR 99 yrs lease commencing from 2010 1 575,000 484 Strata 01 to 05 1,187 Jan-14
thank you for updating:cool-punk-headbange
Drove past Hedges this afternoon. Construction site seems quiet and didn't get to see any constructing movement.
Seriously wondering if TOP by 31 Dec is possible.
Fellow Hedges' owners, any thoughts? Possibility if workers been deployed at Inflora site since both projects are under same construction firm?

No problem. :D:D Block 89 is the last to be constructed. If its progress is what the pictures have portrayed, I think the other blocks are more or less done too. Hence TOP in Aug 2014 is beginning to look probable.:cool1:

Fingers crossed bro. In fact it's been crossed for so long it's cramped now. Lol
the progress looks good ,but why I just received my 40% (5 15 10 10) calling:beats-me-man:
Anyone can post the latest pics... do really hope they can complete by aug this year... :)

U can refer to the pictures which I have uploaded in post 570. As of Sunday only Block 89 has its green nettings off.
what is the official TOP 'promised' date?
The bronchure states 30 June 2015. When I purchased my unit, the property agent told me it would be ready by Dec 2014. The board at the construction site indicates Aug 2014. I'm also confused which date would be considered 'official'.:confused:
end aug is target construction completion date. after that lian beng still needs to hand over to hong leong. so TOP and key collection starts in oct earliest in batches. brochure date is a 'safe' date in case the construction schedule overruns.
Tks guys for the pic. N update .Hopeful that TOP can happen in Oct . Cheers !!!:p
When did u purchase your unit btw?
I don't think it has any relationship with the date of my purchase. anyway I bought it aug 2013 . and my lawyer said the progress is according to schedule,not ahead or behind.:doh: 40 % is in reason. and another blk nearby has the same rate of progress.:beats-me-man:

The main entrance. Still building the spiral carpark ramp.

The marina pool. They are building the ceiling of the carpark and the pool would be able to be built once this is completed. I reckon another 2 months the pool would have the form completed? http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a523/dunspamme/Hedges%20Progress/Progress%2020140301/IMG_4989_zpsbbca07a9.jpg

Just went past Hedges after late dinner. More blocks are unclothed!
From what I could briefly see, entire rear stretch of Blk 71-79 and stacks 01-03 are stark naked. Maybe half the development may be unclothed after this weekend???

But looking at all yr wonderful pics and updates gives me hope and I know I m not alone eagerly waiting for TOP to happen.
By the way, my husband is doing renovation works n he is looking at buying some down lights for our new home in hedges. Was wandering if anybody else keen than we can get the lights at lower price.
I need to get more info for him if there is anyone keen.
Thanks!
And maybe we should have a big housewarming party so we can go get to meet all of you:)

I received my 5% partition walls few days back. Hopefully the progress catches up fast.
I'm a little puzzled, or disappointed that they had already painted the ends of the block at this stage. The paint probably won't last and seems like only Blk 81 is painted well in advance of the rest. Does thus mean that this block will be more weathered than the rest before the reprinting happens?
Shouldn't they have done this painting when all the beatings are removed and general facilities like car park pools etc have taken form?
I can only visit HPC next weekend and hope I see way more progress since it'd be a gap of 5 weeks.

Looks like the patterns are being painted over (see right edge). Maybe this is a test paint to determine the actual visual effects before the actual full paint on?

Last month could see the reinforced steel bars. Now the concrete wall was formed around the rebars. Spiral entrance to carpark is more than just a shape now.
http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a523/dunspamme/Hedges%20Progress/Progress%2020140406/1D7BEAEC-D792-4620-9C4E-CD88E278A859_zpsj1iyhdyb.jpg
Whatever you call this dual layer concrete below the balcony. They are plastering wood around this "feature" and for some blocks, being painted. I wonder if the wood is to shape the concrete or is the final going to have painted wood over concrete?
http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a523/dunspamme/Hedges%20Progress/Progress%2020140406/26A4A81C-B902-445D-A3D7-239DDA17EB48_zpsqju5sckq.jpg
Marina/boating pool is taking shape. Still not fully formed yet but they have filled it with some water, probably to test the leakiness?

This view looks quite good I think.
More than half the developments still have nettings over them. The external facilities are starting to take shape but I doubt it would be TOP ready in Q4, which is just another 6 months from now. I think Q1 or the published TOP is more likely.
On some blocks I actually see patches where the red bricks are not plastered. Didn't take photos, but wonder why? Imagine a wall all nicely plastered and white primed but just a patch exposing the red bricks. Is this haphazard work or intentional for some reasons beyond the layperson?

Thank you for your updates, i noticed that there is not even one worker on site from the pictures, does that mean they no need to work on weekend at all?

I went on a Sunday in the evening about 1730+ so it is only to be expected. they need their off days and dinner time too you know? Haha...
Anyhow, I do see a few human movement in some of the units.

in fact we need to thank them for their hard work which gives us our homes. i m frequently amazed by the great divide in income and social status between these foreign workers and the ultra rich who ride on the backs of the toil of the common man...
anyone tried calling developer for estimated TOP date? it's very hard to tell progress as i think much of the work done are hidden behind the green netting. but i agree that the common areas are pretty much in a raw state, so unless there's a sudden influx of workers in the next few months, the target construction end date of end august and subsequent october TOP is a tough call.
Hi all, anyone tried changing the effect from warm to cool or vice versa? What is the procedure? Anyone got the Developer's PM direct line? PM me please

i just drop by this afternoon, it seems its a bit too late to change the colour scheme as i saw they already started working on the interior for each unit and some of the units are almost done, but you can try to contact your lawyer first

Dear leftfield
I share your sentiments. The progress is really disheartening and frustrating. HP started its sale in April 2011 and PO started its sale in July 2012. That's 1 1/4 year ahead but I do not see that in the progress. :doh:

Likewise here. Walls and ceiling not completed yet for my unit. The only upside for the slow progress, I'm paying less interest!

Parc Olympia is expected to be completed by Q1 2015. I'm seriously quite disappointed with the progress of Hedges Park given that PO started construction almost a year after HP. :mad:
http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/IROL/60/60774/CDL_AR2013.pdf
Latest CDL annual report shows HP is 56% complete as of 31 Dec and completion date is still 2014 - page 76.
Slow! :tongue3:
Thanks for sharing, i thought it would be very fast after the blocks are up, coz it seems the remaining works are only interior and landscaping, how come only 56% completed,really can not believe it :doh:
not enough construction workers due to curb for less Foreign workforce to be in singapore. Unless you guys prefer the developer rush the work or maybe some construction worker over work tired and die in accident on site. Then just have to live with this.

Doesn't seem to be the case for PO which is right opposite. My comments are based on relativity of the other projects I observe.
I drive past Urban Vista almost everyday and construction is now easily more than 6 floors.
Any way that we can get in touch with the developer or project manager in-charge to find out if the construction is on schedule?
By the look of it, I'm also doubtful if it can be ready by Dec this year.
Why is this project so slow???
Probably because Koh Brothers being a smaller co wants to complete Parc Olympia asap so that they can collect $$ for cashflow purposes
CDL has no need for that hence they can take their time
i think CDL is busy rushing many projects such as The Palette, D'Nest, H20 Residences etc as well, and so everything also slow down!
HardcoreDude
21-04-14, 16:45
Maybe its not HP's progress slow, but PO's progress fast? coz some projects who were launched near HP's period have pretty much the same progress as HP, such as watercolours and waterfront isle:beats-me-man:
leftrightcentre
21-04-14, 19:05
Frankly speaking, I am pretty disappointed in the progress. Granted, the CSC is June 15 but I have been hearing from different sources that it is not uncommon for TOP to be 6-12 months ahead.
Certainly Jun 14 TOP is out. My optimistic hope for Q4/Oct is unlikely. I think it is more likely to be 15Q1 or even until the last weeks before CSC. I guess this probably put the project as one o the slower building one.
Some people were saying that they needed more time as they needed to excavate the hedge. But the hedge was formed so long ago. The progress since then is IMO slow. I wonder if they diverted resources to inFlora? The foundation of inFlora was already well into progress when they launched unlike HPC that was not even started at the same marketing phase.
Other than the progress, I am puzzled by the way the blocks/units are being built. It just don't quite seem to make sense.
1. Paintwork started for some blocks but not others? If the paintwork is for visualising/testing why are they like spread all over the development instead of concentrated on a few close blocks?
2. Use of wood to plaster over the ledge? Is this permanent or temporary? If it is wood then how can it withstand the elements? Would there be problems with maintenance? See this sample photo. The smooth ledge with basepaint is in fact wood. The same floor towards the right and the floor below is still raw rough cement.
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk8/rolexlife/hedges%20park/20140413_163711_zps3ad87cf6.jpg
3. "Patchy" completion? See this sample photo, look at the top level wall. Why is the section of red bricks left exposed like that? There are some blocks that is actually not as "neat" as this. Imagine a wall and in the middle of the wall there's a circular patch exposing the red bricks. Why? I don't see this in other developments?
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk8/rolexlife/hedges%20park/20140413_163935_zps6efc8860.jpg
Somehow the general neatness of the construction is not there. The covers were of different colours/shades and not well covered compared to say PO or other developments. Other developments they used a single consistent coloured i.e blue cover and they are well covered without holes flaps, etc. It just look neat unlike HPC.
Then the unused/discarded materials are not as well laid out, and are often seen laid at different places or just not well lined. The overall tidiness of the site is also bad. This is a good example. It looks so untidy. Hazardous working environment? I think a neat workplace foster good habits and is linked to good quality output. An untidy environment similarly encourages sloppy work.
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk8/rolexlife/hedges%20park/20140413_163451_zps53d3653f.jpg
Whenever I go past a BUC, I always try to observe how they set up the scaffold, how their buildings look in the raw cement form, the uniformity of progress, etc.
I must say PO/Koh Brothers gave me a good impression. Neat, systematic, etc. Probably the neatest site I've seen. Maybe Japanese style of construction and/or techniques?
In any case, still holding on the whatever remaining hopes I have for TOP this year. I hope that the site would be cleared of the debris and all with the structure of the roads, etc. formed by end of June. Maybe start calling for next 5$ internal wiring, plumbing, etc. end-May?
I place order for my mattress couple weeks back. And the last 2 weeks I had been looking out for my dining table. I'm just so waiting for TOP to come. *fingers crossed*
i went past the development just now. i agree that the sequence of construction seems quite random. from the noise it seems lots of work is on the internal of the blocks. from what i understand, work on different aspects are concurrent. E.g. the internal carpentry is done by subcontract, which is done even as the common areas are done up. so different teams of workers move in and out of the site to do subcontract work, while a core team of workers remain on site for main contract work. hence it's hard to know actual progress.
actually i don't think parc olympia is fast enough to TOP by end of 1st quarter 2015? out of their 8 blocks, only half are reaching top floors, whereas the remaining 4 blocks are at around 2nd floor only. communal spaces are not up too. compare this with hedges park:
1) all blocks up; all external windows and sliding doors up; some RANDOM paint and glass balconies up (lol)
2) beach pool up; waiting for pebble wash flooring, treasure island, flying fox etc. to be done.
3) lift core structure leading to side gate under construction.
4) marina pool is shaping up
5) club house under construction. building 2nd storey out of 3 stories
6) main lap pool construction has started
7) substation done; bin centre almost done
8) internal plastering, false ceiling works, electrical wiring, bedroom door frames, carpentry work etc. seem to be going on at varying levels of completion.
so if PO really TOP end Mar, then hedges got chance. more likely both projects cannot meet their targets...

I don't disagree but look at the amount of time it took PO to when they are now compared to how much time it took HP to get to where they are. HP had more than 12 months as a headstart. :doh:
It took almost 2 years for HP to reach 56% completion status and they can complete the rest within 12 months? I'm very very skeptical. I was hoping to spend my next CNY in the new place but it's looking more and more unlikely. :banghead:

Few reasons why it could (self justification):
1. Early stages such as excavation, foundation, building erection, etc are linear dependencies and done by the same single main contractor.
2. Electrical and plumbing is likely by different sub contractor and can occur independently of common areas so work could be done in parallel.
3. Interior is again different subcon and independent of common areas.
4. From what I see in Prive EC (occasional help my friend update progress) once the aircon are mounted it is no more than or around 3 months to TOP.
I think the possible top will be 2015 q1 from the photo . Still haven't more work to be done .
I just got off the phone with the project manager in Hong Leong.
I was told that progress is on track, they are still looking at completion PLUS TOP come end of the year.
I shared with him my concerns that I'm still only at 40% of the progressive payment schedule but he reassured me that progress is good and i would likely see the rest of the 5% all coming at one go.
So there you, word from the horse's mouth that 2014 completion and TOP is still on the cards! :D
Yippee, thats good news... so collect keys before CNY next year =)

Hi Hedges folks,
Drove down to Hedges tdy to do a "spot-check" in the afternoon. Glad to see that crane is moving and various working activities is carrying out at different parts of the condo, some at the balconies and some inside the units.
Looks like they are also gearing up to deliver the completed project by year end.
Go, go, go... :cutedoggy:

So still singing the same tune from the last time I called. Hopefully this is not a PR delay tactic. If the subsequent consecutive calling of payment is true, then we have Hong Leong to thank. Delaying payment means we pay less interest.
next 5% coming, total now is 50%
next 5% coming, total now is 50%
Just received my call up of 5% for the ceiling..... looking forward to the next call up

Went for a quick visit over the weekend. Outwards progress is minimal. Pools are still months away from completion. Clubhouse not up, only the ground floor.
The only comment I have this time is the size of the balcony. It is going to be considerably smaller than I expected. The floorplan shows a depth of ~1m. But from the units with the balcony glass barrier up, I noted that the glass is about 1 feet from the edge, and the actual balcony seems really small. So I think the floorplan does not accurately show the usable size of the balcony. ~30% of the space is "wasted". :(

To share my unit completion dates:
Foundation: 28 Jan 2013
RC: 17 May 2013 (+~3.5 months)
Walls: 6 Jan 2014 (+~7 months)
Ceiling: 18 Mar 2014 (+~2 months)
I saw wirings dangling from the ceilings of a number of units. Some of the wiring even extend out to the aircon ledge. I reckon the progress is at least 50% complete?
In all likelihood, the call for wiring could be in Jun/Jul (giving them +3-4 months from the previous calling). Call for carpark and inner roads probably Oct, which is another 3 months away. That would give them about 6 months for the ID. Then another 2 months paperwork for TOP? Dec may be possible?

Any space beyond the railing is not counted as a unit's floor area according to building regulations. Things look smaller from afar. The floor plan is accurate.
Significant updates:
1) Brown cartons r appearing on ac ledges. It's panasonic.
2) They have started filling soil into planter containers at the beach pool.
3) Air con vertical feature screens are being installed for the one bedders.
4) Steel railings have started appearing in stairwells and along inner corridors.

I second that !
I spied that the kitchen has their wall tiles up. Balcony in my opinion looks good.
Was there this afternoon. And workers are still at work ( considering it's a public holiday )
Noticed that the metal fence is up around the development. According to my agent, greens will be planted on top of it.
Anyone can shed more info on this ? True ? No ?
Take it easy guys. Am sure u don't want shoddy work to be done to meet the dateline :)

I don't think we have much to worry guys. TID is a reputable developer, and so is Lian Beng who is the main contractor.
I re-did a quick research I done previously. Look at the filtered table, using data from BCA website for the Conquas scoring which is a barometer to the construction quality. IIRC, any score above 80% is a "pass/good", and 95% is the ideal balance for cost-benefit before the curve goes exponential. The table only contains TID and Lian Beng projects to put things into context.
http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a523/dunspamme/Hedges/TIDLB_zpsec6a5fa1.png
So far we have read/felt good things about Gale where the aesthetic looks great, delivered on-time/ahead of schedule, provided with NGNBN instead of just cable, etc.
Gale owners should be happy to see that the score is pretty high. There are only 43 (out of 442) developments that scored higher for Conquas. For structural: 42, architecture: 46, M&E: 207. Maybe not great for M&E, but for all other benchmarks, is close at the top 10%.
We Hedges owner can somewhat take reference since our developer and main contractor are the same as Gale. The third project they worked together according to the data.
Also, you can also see the improvements with time. Every 4 years or so since 2006 you see a considerable improvement in the scores for TID projects.
For the whole of 2013, there were 37 projects, only 11 had higher Conquas score than Gale. So it is not just the general improvements over time, but TID/LB as developer/contractor also improved when compared to the competition.
I don't think we would get a lemon, and whatever discussions we had were due to us not having appropriate understanding.
Having said that though, the design and aesthetics, etc. are not covered under Conquas :p

I am no expert in construction industry. However I do observe that PO and PI are using pre fabricated materials unlike HP. Hence it may explain why the progress for PO and PI are faster.

Hi neighbors! I'm from block 79 & I just found out about this site, any updates?
Saw a post concerning Coco and given that Hedges Park development is so slow do we face we the same problem ?
"since the lease starts from January 2008, by the time the Coco Palms is completed by 2019, eleven years would have already been run on its 99 year lease, leaving it with 88 years on its land lease."
Managed to dig up some info and looking at it seems like our problem is lesser of a case
"99 years lease commencing from 28 July 2010"
Just had a call from the lawyer
Asking for another 5%
That will bring total to 65%

My mistake
should be 55%
I'm still stuck at 40%!!! :simmering:

And patience. You're on the top floor and the progress is from lower floors upwards. Also, there's a sequence of block completion with the innermost from the main pool outwards to the main road. So depending on you stack, you could be 3-6 months off from the first calling.
For my stack they have yet to call #06 for the roofing. Historical information shows that #06 was 2.5mths behind #05 in walls so they could be getting roofing in Jun and +2-3mths more for the electricals.
I hope that you'll get your notice soon. We cannot TOP if you're not ready!

To share my unit completion dates:
Foundation: 28 Jan 2013
RC: 17 May 2013 (+~3.5 months)
Walls: 6 Jan 2014 (+~7 months)
Ceiling: 18 Mar 2014 (+~2 months)
Roofing: 9 May 2014 (+~2 months)
I saw wirings dangling from the ceilings of a number of units. Some of the wiring even extend out to the aircon ledge. I reckon the progress is at least 50% complete?
In all likelihood, the call for wiring could be in Jun/Jul (giving them +3-4 months from the previous calling). Call for carpark and inner roads probably Oct, which is another 3 months away. That would give them about 6 months for the ID. Then another 2 months paperwork for TOP? Dec may be possible?
For reference.
I think they are now ready to start working on the unit interior. Parquet, marble (might already be done? will try to catch glimpse when I next make my monthly visit 2 weeks from now), tiles, cabinets, etc. I think typical renovation with demolition of flooring takes 2-3 months? So I reckon the interior should be all done up by Sep. In this meantime the external common facilities and landscaping is also in parallel. I am seeing light for Q4 TOP! I hope that I will spend CNY in Hedges :)

The fence is up? Good news! Part of the hedge was not completed earlier this month. Can still see the orangey earth for sections not covered by concrete where the tennis court is supposed to be.
The model showed the grey metal fence so can't say this comes as a surprise. It looked quite decent in the model, against the colour scheme blocks as the backdrop. There are quite a number of trees to be planted, and the hedge I think has vertical greenery. With careful selection of flowering vines I believe that Hedges would be a tasteful and beautiful project!

Just to refresh everyone's memory on the artist's depiction of how the fence looks like. :D
BTW, the entrance and exit of the estate has already been completed in case some of you have not noticed.

Just saw this article. Tiling a 3rm HDB flat takes 4 man days. Assuming a slight premium over the time/quality of work, we are looking at 2500 man days for the 501 units (average to HDB 3rm size) in Hedges. A team of 20 will take 4months. I wonder typically how many persons are tasked to tile?

Thanks for the pics! The carpark entrance looks cramped; you have to drive almost a full circle and if a taxi is dropping off passengers, not sure if you can squeeze through.
I looked at both Hedges Park and Foresque at the same time; and Foresque has TOP not long ago... sigh!

Didn't managed to make a trip down to Hedges over the weekend. Will do so this weekend to check on the progress. Hopefully no sight of soil or reinforcement steel bars poking out from concrete!
Anyway would like to share this free app with you guys. Room Planner by Chief Architect Software. I used it last week to create the floor plan and it is not difficult to use. I could get the dimensions in and also test fit furnishings such as bed, table, etc. quite easily.
Allows me to visualize the practical size of bed, table, sofa, etc. What's more other than the typical planar layout you can also get a navigable 3D model and a virtual reality walkabout model from just the plane layout you drew.

Hi leftrightcentre is this the exact dimensions for 2+study unit? Thanks
As exact as I can help it. I wonder if the sum of all rooms truly equals the stated size.
I guess the walls take up considerable size themselves and count towards the unit size? Don't have info on the thickness of the walls though.
You are a genius leftrightcenter.... I so look frwd for ur insights n posts on this forum...Keep it up buddy!...:)

I drew individual rooms based on internal distance between facing walls i.e. actual usable space. I then placed the various rooms together. The software automatically joins the wall and recomputes the new distance to the middle of wall (from what I believe).
So in short, most of the dimensions are based on internal distance not including the wall. But for adjoining rooms, I think you can see from the living room dimensions that the "split dimensions" meet in the middle of the wall.
You need to refer to your SPA which should have pages with scaled layout of the site, and your chosen unit. There would also be another table showing the estimated size (sqm) of each room.

Mine unit is 2+1 type, on Annex A is listed the size of each room(approx), but don't have actual width or length.
ex: on my Annex A it say bedroom2 is 8sqm and study is 5sqm,
but on your draw bedroom2=2.53*2.53=6.4
study is 2.17*1.74=3.77, so wall really take so much space?

The footnote of that page says it is not accurate and only used for reference. The summation of of the sizes are going to be different from the actual size due to rounding, etc.
On the following page where you have the floor plan there is a scale on the bottom. I used that for measurement. Maybe you can do an independent measurement and see how much our figures differ?
Bk @ blk 75 3rd lvl another 5% paid . Await for another 5% payment to TOP .

I went for my monthly site visit yesterday, which is actually nearly 6 weeks since my last.
There definitely was progress but is kinda below expectation. Progress seemed really slow, and the general feeling is still not quite close to completion. And as eggie1961 shared, Foresque had recently TOP, and to make it worse, Foresque got the land 6 months later than TID so TID lost effectively 1 year.
Anyway, Lian Beng is expected to handover the project end-Aug. I am wondering with the half-raw state can Lian Beng truly complete and handover in the next 10-11 weeks? With this date, we can sort of gauge the possible TOP. Anyone knows what is the typical time to TOP after main contractor handover to developer? I assume this has no relation to the completeness of the interior?

1. I'm also really disheartened with the progress. Seems that they are taking their own sweet time. Probably the estimation by project manager of hong leong is just lip service as well.
2. Saw from ura caveat lodged. One unit in HP just sold in may, for $838000, aka $916psf. Oh no, is price for HP really so bad and unattractive? Alarming
Ya i saw that too $916 per psf...previous month there are units selling above 1k per psf....i was shock also when i saw 916 per psf...
parc rosewood sold @ 14xxpsf, hedges park @ 9xxpsf
what happened to those hp owners?
Think the hedges park owner is in need of money
Errr...u all do realise that the unit sold at 916 psf is a 2 bedder ground floor pes unit?
From Squarefoot research:
Unit 83 FLORA DRIVE #01-XX
Size 915 Sq ft
Sold at 916 Psf in May 2014
Bought at 831 Psf in May 2011
Profit $78,000
Not good profit, but profit nonetheless. In any case ground floor pes units are usually the worst if looking for capital gains. It's a niche market with huge outdoor spaces, and not good for investment.
