mr mio

Thanks Bachie. actually my friend told me that I am entitled to have 5 years warranty. you think is it posible? our contract didnt not mentioned above the warranty period and my contractor will only give me 1 year. I think ! yer is definately too short since we have spent over 200 k for it.

In another word, if one buy a brand new condo or private house, most likely how many year of warranty will he or she get from the developer?

Hi Guy, Can anyone advise me how long is the warranty period commonly be given upon completion of the A and A work. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your precious opinion, the contractor told me that he uses "fusion kid" for the join, does it mean that weldon as you mentioned? The plumber claimed that although new condo and HDB is using now, but he never seen any private house using it. so this is what he concerned. so have any one seen the private house using it?

Hi, my contractor recommended me to use PP-R pipe (Polypropylene pipe)for my recon private house, but my plumber said the it may have problem as PUB is not fully reconise this pipe althought it is wisely used at new type of HDB and private condo. and he said it may have the leaking problem. any one have the experience or knowladge that can share? as my experience copper pipe have more tendency of leaking after 10 years or least.

Since the QP sign off, doesn't it mean he got to resposible for what he submited? can he escape so easily? and how do I take precaution to prevent such a thing happened?

Thanks Yoongf, Like what can obtian waivers based on certain valid gound?, can quote same example? Like what you said,-If my neibour is doing the extension whitin the 7.5M set back, does it mean I can also obtain the approval to follow suit? Another question hope you can give me some advice too. Like this extension work is under A and A work and as I know, can it be endorsed and submitted by engineer instead of archtech, if so, in the market, does the engineer charger come cheaper compare to archtech? as my archtech change me around 9K which not include the submision fee.

Thanks every body, especially Andrew, for your useful link. Just try to find out if any examption for this ristriction. as I can find few houses in my neibourhood is doing the same extension as I mentioned and thier house has the same 7.5 setback as mine. As they have the proper construction sign board bearing with BP no. and archtech/enginee company erected beside the main gate.They should have gone thought the proper submission right? Like these two house:
