The Making Of Our New Simple And Lovely Home

This is so funny, HDB provides doorbell switch but no buzzer. I don't see the logic in this since they provided the doorbell switch. I mean, it is a new flat and if everything comes with the switches/plugs then it should be logical to provide the buzzer if doorbell switch is included in the flat in the first place.

The process of rectifying the defects is just unacceptable. If not enough manpower, at least settle the major defects first so that the minor defects can be settled at another time. That is what happen for us, so cement screed became top piority together with the defects 2nd piority since we'd did not do major renovations. But kinda fortunate that the major defects were rectified during the period HDB came to work on the cement screed.

Hmm... I also not sure. Maybe because the buzzer comes with two type... One powered with batteries and the other with electricity... so maybe that is why HDB did not install the buzzer..

Thanks! Just wondering which type of door bell you getting? Electric or battery powered? Btw I've not heard of battery powered doorbell type before.

LOL actually at my parent's home, its electric powered I think since I've never seen anyone change any battery for it also. So all the while Im under the impression its mostly electric powered for most homes .

Applefreak, if no need for buzzer, just cut the wires hee hee

Got a reply from my Technical In Charge, she keep apologise to us for the trouble caused by their BSC and contractor... She had asked their bosses to issue warning to the staff at BSC and contractors liao and make them submit a full report regarding this matter....

Today, my gf went to see them and once she stepped into the BSC, one guy told her.. "Your husband sent an email to complain ar... now got to write report... "

Hmm... think we both feel abit embarrassed but no choice lor.... if we did not complain to their management, nothing seems to work... and BSC always like to take things for granted....

Anyway, all parties had an agreement. HDB will replace the newly replaced window to match the colour tone of the original windows... if they cannot find it, they will replace all windows for us in 2 weeks time... no more no less...... In addition, they also promised that they will not make the same mistakes and BSC head also apologise to us....

Haiz.... if things can be done properly in the first place.... such thing will not happen one lor.... well... we shall see if BSC learn from its mistake or not......

[BunBun 5]

Wow, power leh, even your TO also give apology and BSC got to submit report?

[spinball 0]

Ya... we don't expect it will turn out to be such a big issue.... guessed that our BSC also got alot of complains from other owners..... anyway, our TO is a very nice lady.... if we got problem she will respond very quickly one... that's good... unlike our BSC.... it sucks....

Hmm.. not sure if all the BSC are like ours.... BunBun... what about yr BSC last time??

Wow, power leh, even your TO also give apology and BSC got to submit report?
