Here's a defect-checking checklist that we used for Hedges 3BR (1076 sqft) to help any of you with your defect checking.

Just had my lights installed today, so I know this. The kitchen and toilets all have false ceilings and the electrical cables are hidden there. Your light contractor will need to punch a hole through the false ceiling (you choose the location) and pull the cables through. Just alert them to the fact that you have false ceiling and they know what to do.
On another note, the concrete hole for my light at my dining area is pretty huge. I installed a 3-lights-in-a-row type of lighting there and the metal piece was unable to complete cover the hole. Looks ugly. The contractor did some patching to make it look better. If i had know about this, I would have chosen a different type of lighting (circular instead which can cover any big holes).

Anybody knows if there is a car washing point in the car park?
Anyone knows if Hedges Park is BCA QM certified like Livia, Double Bay, NV Residences, etc?
Thanks.
Are you referring to this list ?

Don't see Hedges Park in the list though I can see quite a few Tripartite projects listed there.
Hi, neighbors.
Just want to share. We moved in about a week ago. Around noon today, my daughter called me and told me that one of the toilet does not stop flushing the water all of the sudden. She said it's been 15 mins already by the time she called me and has not stopped. So I called the Chris from Defects Team, who referred me to Reddy. He said he is not handling defects related to Plumbing, Gas and Electrical. But Reddy does. So I called Reddy. Unfortunately, it's lunch time and he can get someone only around 1:30PM. So I rushed home (I thought the water will overflow the toilet bowl and flood the house). I can still turn off the water valve in the water rise closet, right? Just have to be unlocked. So I went to Management Office. I was told to call Defects team (which I did before going to them, and which I told them) or call PUB. Seriously?
Ok, maybe I came in in an unfortunate timing, it is lunch break I know. But turning off would not even take 2 mins. Anyway, MO told me he will take care and that he will call me. That was 12:35-12:40 noon.
Noone came to unlock the water rise door so the water just happily flush down continuously. Luckily, Reddy is right on time at 1:30PM with the plumber in tow. Fixed it within 15-20 mins. Still haven't got a call from MO.
Around 4pm, I went down again to request the phone activated for the lift access for guest. And I asked why noone came nor called me. He said he was told it is already sorted out (Apparently, he called Defects Team also and was told it is fixed and so he didn't call me back). Yes, it was sorted out, but only after about hour. He could have get someone to turnoff the valve and it will not take more than 5 mins.
What if the water overflowed already? Still have to wait for the plumber? I see no logic there.
hihi,
can i just check where you bought your lights from?
I went to a shop and was told that because ours is all false ceiling, we wun be able to fix those bigger lights.
If needed, the contractor needs to fix an extra board as support.
anyone has any contacts for lights ?
Thanks lots
No, refer to this link https://www.bca.gov.sg/QM/projects.aspx
Hedges is not listed but Inflora is for Developer as Tripartite
I bought my lights from Chelsea Lighting (shop is at Jurong East, opp Chinese Garden MRT).
My kitchen & toilet lights are small size round ones. Initially the person installing the lights said he needed to use a "plastic plug" to provide more support. I.e instead of just nailing the fixture to the board, you put another plug inside the ceiling so that the nail goes through both board & plug. In the end, I didn't see him using any; maybe he felt it is able to take the weight. Putting another board inside the false ceiling should be possible and not too difficult, IMHO.
I also found out that the default lights provided for the toilets are sufficiently bright at night. If I had known this earlier, I would have skipped the toilet lights.
Rgds.
Hi guys. New to this forum. Just wanted to ask how much does the electrical works cost? i.e. for fixing the lights, fans, extra plug points.
I also noticed that the hood in the kitchen doesn't actually suck any smoke. There isn't much suction and I don't know if it is supposed to be like that or its not working properly. Thanks guys.
Having stayed for a few days, I realized that my house gets hot very easily even though I don't get direct sun on the windows. So I'm thinking of installing shielding for the glass doors and windows. Has anyone done this? Do we have to use the recommended vendors shown at the management office? What did it cost you?
I have one small question.
I have received developer's notice letter from my lawyer, base on which I accepted releasing next 25% payment, and also placed cash order for both servey and maintenance fee and submit them to my lawer this Mon. My lawyer told she will pass them to developer this Tue, and after that I didn't received any update from anyone.
So what is next step ? Can I direct contact developer to make key collection appointment now ?
I was so busy this week so might missed the instruction if it is part of paper notice letter.....
