Hi all,

So for fellow neighbours who has already checked ur place, would greatly appreciate if u could contribute so tat for those of us who has yet to collect the keys, we might have some idea wat to look out for.

Thanks so much!

hi there,

just wana clarify, if we spotted some defects and HDB had changed them, however, even after e defects being change, the result is still not satisfied, can we required HDB to change again?

example, the changed tiles are of different tones, can we request from HDB to change again?

Also, after complain and surface the defects to HDB, roughly how long will they come to replace the defects?

regards

By the way, did you all tear out all the film on the windows to check the defects?

Mine was pretty fast. About 1 week after I submitted the list, they've started. Why don you try submitting the defects list as early as possible because more pple are getting keys and rectification may take longer after that.

My main door has a big crack and 3 bedroom doors have small cracks. I'm hoping they change the doors

i think must push them and check with them it has been done....else BSC pple will take their time to slowly and do.

And after changing still got problem let them know. If it fails, take pics and send to HDB directly....if not, time to call the press already.

The problem is not with HDB, it is with the BSC pple.......they are actually private contractors. To them, the lesser they do the more they earn. And they earn @ our expense.

Just to inform those with crack tiles, especially kitchen wall -

After the cracked tiles have been removed, please check the cement screeding for cracks as well. The cracks on the tiles could be caused by the cracks within the cement screeding. Replacement of the wall tiles without rectifying the cracks on the cement may cause the replaced tiles to crack again in future.

Hi neighbours,

Would like to add that the living room grouting is meant to be white. I asked my hdb technical officer about it coz i find the peachy colour grouting really weird, he told me that its stained & cannot be removed by washing. He and the contractor told me really nicely that they will redo the whole living grouting. Now its all done up in record time.

anyone of you encounter some misaligned tiles in the toilets?
