View Full Version : Versilia on Haig - Ipoh Lane
Hi,
Just realised that the windows are all tinted. What are the pros and cons compared to clear windows? :scared-5:
Cheers.
Clear windows more light for a cheery and bright atmosphere, tinted for better glare control and heat shielding.

BIC,
our windows are glazed as stated in the brochure. But it might not be enough to reduce the heat in Singapore context. Double glazed windows is better but it does not make sense to spend a bomb to replace our brand new windows. Solar films would be the next better option if you want better heat rejection than the standard glazed window. I have read that you can purchase solar films from the local DIY store and do it yourself to save money other than getting the professionals to do it.
From the internet:
"Winter heat loss through windows can cause discomfort to building occupants and unnecessarily high energy bills. Low emissivity insulating film applied to the inside face of ordinary single-glazed windows decreases heat loss by up to 30%. In summer XX brand films reduce the cost of cooling a building by rejecting up to 79% of the sun's heat."

mezo,
Thanks. Did not notice that this (the glaze window) was mentioned in the brochure. Will test out how the heat condition in the house after I have shifted in before deciding whether to install the solar film.
With the place almost done up, I was wondering whether it will TOP this month!!! ;) I am stuck in a temporary place at the moment and can't wait to move in. :D
Cheers.
Heard from an agent Versilia will top end of this month.

Hi alxyan,
Would sure hope that we have a decent lobby for drop-off whether we are driving or via taxi.;)
Cheers.
Hi Alxyan,
Yes, I was told level 1 and level 2 lobbies will be air-conditioned. :-)
Tat's great, much needed sometimes in spore, n definitely adds class to the development!
I found out tat the intercom system in each unit is a video one, instead of an audio one stated in the brochure. Guess developer has upgraded.

Nowadays still have audio-only intercom? My 6 year old development has the video version already.
Not just 6, some developments older than 16 yo also have video intercom, all depends on developer. There r still showflats around with audio only intercom.
for those who owned cars, wonder if we will :
1. have a car washing bay, preferably indoor
2. allow those contract washer to wash cars nightly
:cool:
Dear Owners,
Came home today and found a letter from my lawyer....thinking that its the developer informing the TOP date but was not!!
It was just the 5% payment advise for the completion of the carpark and drain cover. :(
When will the TOP letter come......

Versilia @ Haig is a landmark development on Haig Rd, I'm sure you'll enjoy staying there as well. Close to nice food and lots of amenities and FH somemore right?
TOP should be May/June latest. But from experience, good things are always worth the wait. :)

Hi All,
I called developer office last week and was told that TOP should be May/Jun. Hopefully we don't have to wait till June :(
Yeap, hope it doesn't drag to June. Factor in the staggerred collection of keys, developer to rectify defects, followed by renovation, which may take up to approximately two months, hoping to move in before Aug (ghost month). Otherwise we'll be stuck until Sep.....
TOP application submitted but currently has been suspended. Probably to rectify some defects.

Hi mezo,
Thanks. Hope that the developer can get everything in order with BCA!!
Cheers.;)
Oh when oh when will this project TOP??? :confused:
Wait until neck long liao. The BCA website still show suspended.
Any further update from the rest?
Cheers.
Hi mezo and all,
Instead of worrying and guessing when the TOP is, I contacted BCA and they referred me to the engineers involved on the project.
Spoke to the engineer and they have submitted all the necessary document to BCA for their approval. He did not see further issue and should expect to receive the TOP anytime soon.:)
Crossing my fingers and hope we can see something concrete over the next couple of weeks.
Cheers.
That's good to know. Thanks, BIC. :)
I am anxiously counting down to TOP too. Now looking for interior designer/contractor. Anyone got good lobangs? Hopefully do not have to spend too much on reno so I can have enough to buy some designer furniture :p

You may want to take a drive to Versilia at night. You will be able to see the lift lobby in the carpark. Quite small but I guess it will serve its intended purpose.;)

Yeah, I'm from stack 07.
Does anyone notice that the facade around the carpark somehow looks incomplete? Looks different from the brochure's pics. The front's and back's are different, front has stripes of glass panels, but not the back?! Wonder if this is a result of any cost cutting measures?!

1) Ask bank to disburse the amount loaned under the IAS scheme
2) Request owner to make 3 payments (6 month maintenance fee, survey fee, stamp & registration fees) before 1 June before we can make arrangement to collect keys. Mine cost slightly above $2K for all 3 payment.
Other minor issues like 12 months warranty period, property tax issues, etc...

I did not take up the IAS scheme back then.
Is the monthly maintenance fee about $250 per month? This was what was estimated by my property agent.:2cents:

Note sure about this. Think it depends on the size of yr unit. Letter indicated 3 payment amount for different size. And yes, one of them is ~$250 per month (lowest).

Yes, definitely. Especially we do not the tennis court in the premise!!:mad:
The developer must justify why the high maintenance fees.
What can we do????

Main bulk of the maintanance fee goes to the outsource contractors, namely cleaners, security, MA. The rest are minimal. First 2 years under developers SP have no say, just pay. What SP can do is quickly form the council and manage you own funds. Typically, MA under developer will squander away lota of monies (cos it's not their and no need cross approve by council). Most effective way to reduce estate maintanance is to reduce manpower for cleaners and security then the council can hold AGM to propose reduce monthly maintainance fee. But do take note compromise work both ways

Hi mogyi,
Thanks for the info. I am still a green-horn in this.;)
Are you also an owner of one of the unit in Versilia?
Cheers.
I'm actually a council member of another Condo. We formed the management council less than 1 year later after TOP and took control of the funds.
What we found out was that the maintenance fees was about 33% higher than what is needed to run the condo, so we made a resolution to move 1/3 of the fees into a sinking fund.
I suspect we will find that the maintenance fees here will also be more than what is necessary. But that's not too bad. The council once it takes over can decide to lower fees at that time, or move the excess into a sinking fund (which is good for the condo anyway as it means future big item maintenance costs will be well provided for)

Everyone,

Thanks

sounds reasonable offer
surprised the price din move much...:confused:
Not a low-ball offer, but I guess the price offered should be for a low-floor unit. For penthouse, its still below the last transacted price for a penthouse a couple of months back.

willing to wait too:D
Units in Butterworth 8 are going at this rate at the moment. So unlikely to have sellers willing to part at this price (imho).
Dear Owners,
I am working with my lawyers and bankers to get the payment to the developer asap and hope to collect my keys mid next week.:doh:
Anyone has collected their keys already?
Cheers.;)
Must say, really sincerely salute! you 'Versilian' guys in this forum, think you all have a very good spirit for your new condo.
Seldom see in other treads, other treads usually got sour grapes detractors with alot of baseless and negative stuff to say.
There was a time when i considered Versilia but went to buy One Amber instead. Anyhow good to know I have a bunch of good people as Katong neighbours.
Thanks for the compliment!
I dropped by a couple of days ago, they put up sign boards for the collection of keys.
But guards said keys have not been issued yet. Maybe next week, my lawyer's letter said once the checks have
been cleared, we should be able to arrange for appmt to collect.
Talking abt the decorative green glass plates on the metal grilles btw the walls of second n third storey of the carpark,
they are still missing in the portion behind blk 31.

Hi Lou,
I felt the same way too. Hence, I am still enjoying myself sharing in this thread.
Most of us are fortunate enough owning/living in a private property and should be thankful.
There is no need to compare whether one project is better or worse than another. As the saying goes, one man's meat is another's poison.
The price of the project will be determine by market forces and also how bad the buyer wants the unit.
In short, stay happy and cheerful. Life is tough enough!!! :D
Cheers.

I be collecting my key tomorrow....after lots of calling here and there....
I post some pics for u guys tomorrow night.....
Same here will be collecting keys tomorrow at 3.30 pm. Infact was at Versilia this evening (6.15 pm) to k-po around. The site manager (Wong) took me and my wife around the project and even better, we went up to my unit which coincidentally was open as the cleaners were cleaning the place to prepare for handover tomorrow. Must say that the Hoi up's workmanship is good. Could not find any defects except for a loose rubber lining in one of the room windows. Toilet tiles and fixtures are decent. kitchen cabinets nice! marble flooring in the hall and dining area - looked good - no complaints. Most of all, the site manager is a nice chap. will bring him a bottle of wine tomorrow when i collect my keys coz he went the extra mile today :)
PS : swimming pool area was nice and cosy. landscape was great and well thought through. guess i'm going to enjoy my stay here:)

Hi dist15,
Welcome back.....wow....you must have been the 1st person to tour the place!!!!
Based on what you have mentioned, cant wait to get my hands on my keys too!!!
Will have to wait for the pics from mezo tmr......:o
Will you be posting some pics too? Ha ha
Cheers.
Hi Mezo and Dist15,
Kudos to you for getting yr keys soon.
I called Hoi Hup, they asked me to call 6634 1901. I called this number, a man took down my hp no. and said he will ask managing agent to contact me for key collection appointment.
Dunno when they will contact me. How did you manage to get an appointment for key collection? :-)

I called HoiHup to arrange the key collection. HoiHup will check that all payment has been received before arranging the key collection onsite. Mr Wong is the MA onsite at Versilia. U can call him (66341901) but he will still need to check with HoiHup.
Pics from Versilia for those yet to receive yr keys.
I must say i agree with dist15 that the workmahship is very good. I spend 1 hr looking around, knocking here and there, opening all cupboards, testing aircon, testing doors and windows, etc.... and nothing significant was noticed. U can literally move in immediately. Very windy from my unit.
Nice! Congrats all Versilia Owners! :cheers1:

Hi mezo,
You the man....once again, the pics are so professionally taken!!! ;)
I'm sure the rest of the owners in this thread appreciate this as well.
If there are defects, how long will the developer take to rectify the defects?:confused:

Hi Mezo
Thanks for the nice pics.
Your unit seems very high up
Nice panoramic view from your unit
Hi Mezo
Thanks for the nice pics.
Your unit seems very high up
Nice panoramic view from your unit
Tks Centrico, agree the view has turned out quite nice :)
One of my primary consideration was to have a windy place (the accompanying view was a bonus). Hence I bought this particular stack with through flow design, due to the unblocked line of sight. My mum's place nearby was windy throughout the year. I was hoping that my unit will be the same. Nothing beats natural aircon....
I certainly agree with you.
Was contemplating to buy the unit because of the cross ventilation and the spacious layout but eventually settled for the smaller unit for practical reason and cost too :(
My unit will have the same facing as your dining room but no cross ventilation unless i keep my front door open
Can you see the Marina sands from your unit mezo?
Hi Owners,
I have young children in my house and will need to install window grills.
The response from the developer as follows :
"There is no designated contractor for the installation of the window grilles at your unit. However, you are required to adhere to the typical aluminum window grille design as shown in Versilia’s handbook. The colour code of the grille will be powder coat PR12/877/CS4 or equivalent to the existing window frame."
Hope this info is useful to you too.;)
Cheers.
To anyone who is knowledgable in the home network, some questions :
OpenNet is coming and Starhub & Singtel will use this new network in the future. From OpenNet:
- "you are also encouraged to deploy home networking using Cat 5e/6 structured cabling within your home as part of your renovation"
- "Ensure Accessories At The Designated Location Is Catered For
(a) Install twin 13A power point/socket at the designated location (e.g. within the closet), so as to provide power to any equipment.
(b) Install RJ45 patch panel. Number of ports should be greater than the number of rooms of units premise. "
Fortunately, our unit comes with Cat5e cables prelaid in all rooms/study room and the datapoint is at the DB box (located next to main door).
- Is Cat 5e sufficient as OpenNet is advising homeowners to install Cat 6 cables.
- Do we have a RJ45 patch panel at DB (I cant recognise the stuff there as I am not a network engineer)
- If yes, does it mean that we can lay the OpenNet fibre termination box at the DB?

To collect the keys, u have to :
- make payment for the 3 cheques (maintenance, survey & admin) to HoiHup
- bank to disburse the loan
I made quite a few phone calls to arrange all these so that i can be the first few to get the key.
I also got my contractor in to give the quotation. Hoping to move in well before the ghost month start in August.
In my case, checks were cleared on 3rd Jun and bank also released the fund on 3rd Jun. But the developer somehow not ready to release the key when called them last Sat.

Hi kEN9170,

Are you also an owner of a unit in Versilia?;)
Cheers.
Hi,
Collected my keys today and the rain didn't dampen my spirit!!! ;)
Drove into the carpark for the first time and was welcomed by Mr. Wong (Managing Agent) and Nicolle (Hoi Hup).
Saw what I had expected as my unit is a similar layout as the showflat, less the ID. Did not have much time to check the defects and will return tomorrow to do so!!!
Some things to note :
1. There will be no carpark lots for visitors. They will be asked to park at the HDB next to Versilia.
2. Taxi are allowed to come in to alight or pickup passengers.
Mr Wong highlighted that they will be very strict with the House Rules for the first year until the new MC is formed.
Will post the pics soon.....:D
Cheers.

hi BIC
I also collected my keys today. Was at the Mgmt Office briefly around 1.15pm, some one was collecting the keys then .... was that you?
Moment of truth...
Likes:
1. Fantastic views front and back from my stack (03 type)
2. Swimming pool deck area
3. Finishing
Dislikes:
1. Lobby - not air-conditioned
2. Function room - was minuscule - perhaps better to extend the small gym, or convert it to dining / reading lounge

Rushed down from office, took the keys and dashed off!!!
Just like mezo's, stack 03 have fantastic front and back view.
Mine is a smaller stack 05. Guess, I have to start somewhere.
You have kids too, so putting grills for your windows?

Are you also an owner of an unit in Versilia?
Yes, installation of grills is allowed in Versilia but are confined to the approved type and colour by the developer. Details are provided in the handbook.

Worst than HDB. At least HDB got carpark for visitors. Imagine ask your visitors or friends to go park at HDB carpark some distance away and walk over - totally embarrassing - I think no one will dare to entertain in this house - so malu. This is not exactly prime CBD area - why cut corners until not enough place for carpark? Despise this type of developer that cheapen the area.

Don't everything blame govt lah :ashamed1: . Developer definitely can squeeze in some visitors lots (at expense of some landscape for small developments) but I guess its something that some buyers find not important - not everyone entertain at home or have many visitors.

My condo next door has never restricted visitors, even though we only have 1-to-1 ratio for car park lots. Even during weekends, when people are organising BBQ and functions, we never run out.
This rule should be relaxed soon, since not all the lots will be taken.
Hi all
was told by Wong that after 1 year, MSCT can be formed where the commitee can propose and decide whether to allocate few lots of visitors and "allocate" a washing bay area for owners.
During my key collection - I just knew that a relative of mine is the sub contractor and am relieved to hear that the materials used in all units are of good standard and range....
Docking/"marbles" at swimming pool is considered as good material range though I agree that the function room is too small to be fully uliltised.
cheers

128 units there with 128 lots... still can allocate some to visitors??? wouldn't that be unfair to the unit owners where they should be guaranteed 1 lot per unit?
What about those owners who have 2 cars?
Are they going to give us extra lot?
What about those owners who have 2 cars?
Are they going to give us extra lot?
Usual practice is for 2nd car to park outside the condo. However, the mgt may allow 2nd car to park in the condo till they activate the 1 car lot per unit rule.
The developers also categorize the residents like "These bunch of fellows don't need cars for 1 reason or another, so 128 lots for 128 units enough lah!".
Reasons may be:
- if they want to live near MRT, they probably don't drive. :doh:
- These buggers not enough money want to buy private properties, so no money left for buying & maintaining cars, no point having more car park lots. :p
- This area's condos mostly for rental to expats who don't drive, so can built less car park lots. :scared-2:
- The govt regulation says they only need to build min 75(?)% car park lots for condo within xxx m (can't remember how far) to MRT, so they can just build the min lah! (save them money!) :banghead:

condos r not just about car lots
go buy geylang apt w/o facilities if u fancy car lots...plenty of extra car lots:D
It is ashame to tell people you live in condos that do not have car park lots to park your cars and have to resort to road side parking (illegal acts) or have to park in HDB estates! Even HDB flat dwellers are much better with their usually sufficient car park lots for their cars and visitors. :p
Why pay so much for such condos to suffer? :banghead:
Then complain and quarrel with condo security guards, neighbours etc because of car park lots (as reported in newspapers). :doh:
There are still many nice and well-located condos around with more than sufficient car park lots. :D

People who stay in landed properties can only have no more than 1-3 friends visiting each time. Best is not to entertain people at home.
Well, that is an issue with landed properties and hence used to be an advantage of condos over landed.
If condos have no additional advantage over landed, might as well buy landed?
If condos have no additional advantage over HDB, might as well buy HDB (and so much cheaper some more)? :p

On a serious note, i do have a friend who's condo simply do not cater to visitors (think there're 2 visitor lots for 100+ units apartment).
It's kinda rediculous and everyone just avoid going over, even for special occassion cos we just duno where to park our cars. At least vesilia have a HDB carpark opposite tho it's kinda troublesome

Grew up in landed property. Never had problem entertaining. Somehow people can find place to park around the sprawling landed estate. But for a condo fronting a road with no parking, only way is to ask people to park at HDB carpark at a distance and tear coupon. Your friends may not complain in front of you lah, but behind your back, they will complain one and minus point on your development liao :) But on a positive note, I'm sure no one will choose to gather around or chill out at the apartment with no parking or need to park far away and tear coupon lor which means less cleaning up.

The last time I went to my friend's landed home, every other lane around the house were fully parked with cars on both side, and I had to park far away outside the "allowable" zone. At least if a HDB carpark is near, it's definitely much better and safer for kids as well, and don't have to worry about kanna fine.
Wooooooo,:eek:
The hot topic of parking spaces in Singapore has surfaced in this forum.
Yes, it will definitely caused inconvenience to your guests during any visits.
However, the Managing Agent wants to ensure that all unit owner has at least one carpark lot available anytime. In my opinion, this is top priority.
When all the owners have moved in, I believed we can discussed the issue again with them.:D
Cheers.

Hi komo,
I share your view. Landed property owners have their parking woes too!!
Singapore is getting smaller and crowded with people and cars.
We just have to get on with life....:spliff:

lets face it...for those who fancy newer developments...u goto bear with carpark crunch issues...mostly 1to1 nowadays
govt allow 1to1 and even 60% of the total units for those condo near MRT...for CBD...dun hf to provide any car lots
it sends a clear signal tat they really wana cut down the number of cars...make it more and more inconvenient and 'force' u all to take public transport
in a way, this cud partially explains y condos near MRT r hotly contested and very popular among homebuyers nowadays
at least if ur condo is near MRT, ur frens/relatives can visit u via MRT if no nearby HDB parking lots or insufficient visitor lots in ur estate.
i am actually quite supportive on the clamp down of number of cars...if govt dun do anything and let car ownership rise....SG will be jammed from pasir ris to boonlay...so wats the point of driving by den :D
certain big cities in other countries can have 1-2hr jams daily EVERYDAY!

Unfortunately, the crowds and shortage of carpark spaces are here to stay.

What about a prime district condo near a MRT? Does that mean the visitors need to take MRT? Does not sound appealing to the rich...
lets face it...for those who fancy newer developments...u goto bear with carpark crunch issues...mostly 1to1 nowadays
govt allow 1to1 and even 60% of the total units for those condo near MRT...for CBD...dun hf to provide any car lots
it sends a clear signal tat they really wana cut down the number of cars...make it more and more inconvenient and 'force' u all to take public transport
in a way, this cud partially explains y condos near MRT r hotly contested and very popular among homebuyers nowadays
at least if ur condo is near MRT, ur frens/relatives can visit u via MRT if no nearby HDB parking lots or insufficient visitor lots in ur estate.
i am actually quite supportive on the clamp down of number of cars...if govt dun do anything and let car ownership rise....SG will be jammed from pasir ris to boonlay...so wats the point of driving by den :D
certain big cities in other countries can have 1-2hr jams daily EVERYDAY!

Hi dereklply,
Welcome to this thread and with your first post!!:D
Which stack are you from?
Cheers.
Dear Owners,
I guess most of you are busy with the collection of keys, renovation etc.
Me too.....just did the joint inspection on the defects today and I must say, it was a breeze. As some of you mentioned, the workmanship is good....with no significant defects. The scratches on the door should form most of them!!! ha ha ;)
I can start my reno liao and definitely can move in before the 7th lunar month!!!:D
Cheers.
Wednesday.
Like so long hor ...
Hi i0east,
Its almost end of Wednesday!!!
How was the key collection experience?
Cheers.
Hi BIC, key collection was smooth and prompt. Was late cos of the heavy rain this morning. Did you notice that heavy rain like today could lead to water "flooding" the sliding window? Not sure if this is considered defects? Care to share what I should look out for in terms of defects? Hope to get the defects rectified asap so I can start the Reno and move in before the seventh month. Will be there tomorrow morning to check for defects. Did not get to do so today as we need to rush to work.

Hi i0east,
Great!!! Generally the flooring is well done which I believed is the most important and will take longer if there is defect. All the doors sholuld have some scratches which they could easily touch up. No worries. :D

Prime district condo mostly have excess parking space, being located at prime area, these estates are usually heavily tenanted to expats who dont drive. Some as high as 80-90% tenants occupied

Some defects from my unit are :
- anti slam feature for 1 cupboard and kitchen drawer not working
- sink leaking water
My contractor starting work next week. Furniture bought and busy looking for lights.
Are you referring to the autoshut drawers in the wardrobes and kitchen?
I don't think any of the doors in kitchen and wardrobes are antislam.

Yes. The autoshut features.
for those who plan to install solar film to block partial West Sun- esp those from stack 7 or 8, I find that Javaco Smart window film is at reasonable pricing- made in Japan with 10 years warranty- I contacted them , cuurently at promo price @7.90psf
I have a toddler -Have checked with MA- installing "invisible" window grill is not allowed...have to follow strictly to their stated design attached in our handbook.

Hi skyevia,
Stack 05 also have some partial West Sun. Am also thinking about installing Solar film but at the last stage.
Anyone else have use this brand of solar film before? Are they effective.
Cheers.
Hi BIC
I may be wrong- i recalled that u may have the intention to install window grill eventually- As told by my ID, probably it will be a better idea to install the solar film before installing the grill( esp the grill with fix/unmovable track in view of reducing thickness) else can be quite challenging. You may want to verify with your ID on this.
have no idea of Solar film too...just did some google searches to check on.

Yes u have to install the solar film first before putting up the grill. Otherwise, the solar film guys will need to dismantle the grill before they can put up the film.
I am now torn between two grades of film : Silver 50 (55% IR rejection) and Javaco 90 (>90% IR rejection). One is $3psf and the other is $7.90psf. At 250sf of windows, its $750 vs $2000.....

Hi mezo,
For stack 03, do not think the west sun is serious. Maybe Silver 50 is sufficient. Huge price difference.
Is there another grade in between? ;)
Cheers.
stack 7 and 8 probably need higher IR rejection one since it is more exposed to West Sun.....
As for the grill- I was told by a contractor today that - Based on the unique design and size "required" by the developer (ie. mixture of cross section of vertical and horizontal lines), only Solid Aluminum material can be used instead of the standard" Hollow Aluminum" that used in most grill design ( standard vertical or horizontal), Thus, the pricing will be 2-3 times higher to fix up....
I am puzzled and I can't verify whether it is a fact or a execuse to mark up the pricing....maybe anyone can share their experience? I am checking with developer on this soon.
Just take note in case anyone came across.

03 stack is also affected by the west sun, hence i will get the solar film.
My contractor is giving me the hollow aluminium tube. Anyway, I do not intend to cover up the bottom glass panel, only making for the sliding window portion.

Hi mezo and skyevia,
In that case, I will also install solar film for my unit. Else regret after putting grills and realised I needed it!!!
As for the grills, I was quoted $2,700 for the installation of powder-coated sliding grills for the 3 bedrooms. This will be in accordance to the design required by the developer. Should be the hollow type.....:scared-5:

Grill cost is by psf. It depends on how much area it is going to cover. But $2700 seems very expensive for just 3 bedroom. U sticking with your earlier reno quote of >$30K?
Guys, do note that those ID always take a big chopper when they know you stay in a condo. Always look around and compare prices.

Gosh....I thought $2,700 was reasonable. A friend of mine got a higher quote.
Yup, reno quote keeps increasing.....:doh:
I am being quoted $1800 for 2 bedroom- opt out for the other room cos it comes with sliding door torwards the balcony/planters. That is so call the "hollow Aluminum material" Complimentary "frosted lamination" for both the toliets when i asked for better pricing.
However, the contractor called back yesterday and claimed that the above material (ie hollow aluminum) may not able to use for the design required by developer and this really puzzled me. I am contacting other contractors next week to verify, or just ask my ID to recommend ( which the cost can be a unknown too)
Hi,
I guess everyone has been busy with their reno / move-in works.:ashamed1:
So am I.....tons of matters to settle.
See you guys soon at Versilia.
Cheers.:D
Hi BIC, how long does it take for the developer to rectify the defects? It has been one week and nothing was done. So sad, dunno when reno can start! Did you deck up your balcony? How much does it cost? I was quoted 1200-1500. Is this reasonable?

Hi i0east,
Initially I was like you, thinking that have to wait for all defects to be rectified first before reno. Not the case. Once they have conducted a joint-inspection with you to confirm the defect list, you can start reno.
They will recetify the defect in parallel, depending on the defects. These guys (Straits Construction) are very friendly and reasonable.
Yes, I have decked-up my balcony with chengnai wood. My ID quoted me one price for my whole reno. No breakdown of the costs.:D
Meeting Jack Lim from the solar film company for a quote this morning.

My planter (3m x 1.3m) cost me $850. Yr balcony is bigger so should cost more.
Saw that someone has actually moved in on the 15th floor. Wow, he's the first resident of Versilia.
Thanks for sharing ,:) Guys. I also saw the unit that Mezo mentioned. They are really fast. Trying to keep Reno as simple as possible so as to make things
move faster for me a bit. I have shortlisted some furniture and electrical appliances but yet to make any purchases. Very slow hor. Now trying hard to play catch up.

Hi,
Was at my unit earlier. Should be doing the solar film for my MBR ($1130) and Children's room ($450) only as have partial west sun.
As for the chengnai decking, I will be removing it after installation...sigh!! Found that its too high and make standing at the balcony feel dangerous. Worried for my kids.:doh:
Yup, Saw the unit in Blk 33, Level 15. In fact, my neighbour also shifting in today full force.
I am still 5 weeks away from shifting in.:scared-5:

Hi All,
Hows your reno and move-in coming along....?
Was at site today and still not many units have moved in.:sleep:

Hi BIC,
They just started to rectify the defects at my place yesterday. I think probably can start reno late next week? Most likely to get a contractor instead of ID liao.
Whom did you get to do the window grills and solar film? I need to put the solar film for the master bedroom and bedroom 3. As for window grille, it will be for bedroom 2 only.

Hi i0east,
For the window grill, my ID is arranging and hence do not know the contractor.:doh:
However, there is this contractor that has done for my neighbour and for a few households in Versilia. You may want to contact him for a quote.
Mr Lim - Wrought Aluminium P/L (HP : 9027 9222)
As for the solar film, I will be using from Perfect Window Films. Their 85% IR rejection is at $3.50psf. Quite reasonable i think. ;)

thank you komo n BIC
shall check with them
hi Centrico and all
I am using Palm Wood for decking instead..The surface seems less "slippery" esp with water on surface but not as "shinning " as others.
check out this website FYI
http://www.enitoflooring.com/decking.htm
I am using Wrought Alumumin for the grills after few rounds of reviewing- they are using Alloy , thus pricing can be slightly higher , They also "claimed" that the standard " double U " hollow type cannot be used ( or rather hard to manufacture) based on our "unique design requirement. I signed up with them after viewing other units installation ( 14-01 owner is very kind to let me view his unti installation after Wong's recommedation)- very well craftmanship indeed .Alternatively, u can consider using Iron type, much cheaper that Alloy but probably heavier and prone to "corrision" over years.
BIC, based on your psf, seems that u really get a good pricing for solar film, I was quoted $1500 for two full rooms ......seems more expensive than yours.-but with the same 85% IR rejection. Can I know the approx pricing for the solar film for all your 3 rooms ?
thanks

Hi skyevia,
Will just be having solar films for my MBR (excluding toilet) and Kids room. Total about $690. With the 3rd bedroom, I guess it will just be slightly above $900. Why not give Perfect film a call and asked them to take the windows measurement.
Cheers.:D
Thanks BIC and Skyevia.
I will give a call to Wrought Alumumin and Perfect Window Films. :)
Thank you skyevia
A friend suggested using composite wood like the one used in our swimming pool area.
It is guaranteed 15 yrs.
Torn between natural or synthetic wood:(
Thanks BIC for the sharing
Centrico, Composite Wood is beautifu too - It looks very "natural" and should be pretty durable, though I am not sure the psf .
Thanks BIC and Skyevia.
I will give a call to Wrought Alumumin and Perfect Window Films. :)
My solar film cost $3 psf for a total of $732 for MBR and 2 bedroom (244sf). Its Javaco (from Japan) and 10 years warranty, though the heat rejection is only at 55%.
Surprised to hear that our grill is difficult to manufacture, my contractor didnt say anything.
Hi,
Paid maintenance fees already but still have not use the pool and gym facilities......:(
Anyone care to share their experience....especially swimming under the bridge!!! ;)

Its really personal for house preference. A good point to one may turn out to be totally no-no to another.
Anyway, for me personally, it was being windy as the main consideration that I chose 03 stack. Other people may totally dislike it being windy and hence will never it.

Hi,
Was at the site last evening to check on the progress of my reno.
Wow, can see pple swimming in the pool and doing laps. Anyone of you guys swimming there yesterday evening??? ;)
Saw a caucasion in the carpark and guess he must be a sub-tenant in Versilia. Wondering what would be the make-up of the occupants when fully occupied. Still not many units being occupied at the moment though. :scared-5:

Hi,
Have you seen the half-submerged car in a condominium in Bukti Timah on the front page of the Sunday Times today. WOW!!!:eek:
Looks like this problem is here to stay and will only get worse.:(
Thank goodness Versilia had multi-storey carpark and even the ground floor carpark is slightly elevated. Who knows one day, such floods will hit our area too (touch wood). But we can still sleep in peace.:sleep:
Looks like we can charge a premium for our property for having multi-storey carpark. Had preferred to stay in a property with basement carpark initially, but looking at the situation, it could be a blessing.
Cheers!!;)

Tanjong Katong Road was a flood prone area when I was a student there. But it has been many years, have not heard of floods there now. Was there any in the area recently?
Yup, Tanjong Katong used to be flood prone but thought part of it was also affected by yesterday rainfall, or was that closer to the Mounbatten side?

The water seems to move elsewhere nearby...Joo Chiat and Telok Kuaru reported incidents yesterday morning.
Sometimes too much water ($$) is no good too!! ha ha :D

It should be along Crescent Road as reported.

Looks like the possibility of being flooded is a important consideration before making that big purchase....

Imagine those staying in landed and have their place flooded!!
Worse than having a carpark flooded.
One household had their fishes from their fish pond swimming into their living room. :eek:
This is bad....real bad!!!
Actually, I really suspect the floods are occuring due to the massive construction islandwide. No matter how, construction work will introduce stuff (such as sand, metal, etc) into the drains and choke it. At most of the flooded areas, there are new and there are either new developments (less than 1 year TOP) or construction in progress very nearby.

Then someone will pay for it in Monetary sense! Knowing our garment, if trace and conclude "abc" is responsible for the choking of drain resulting in these floods, then this company can prepare to file for chapter 11 cos they would be bill the full cost of the damage both intrinsic / extrinsic . But, if the responsible company is a .gov then ........ you know.... really.... this's a unfortunate case of natural disaster, aka "act of god":scared-5:
