alberttcs 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 just gotten a reply from the HDB officer :"Currently, your key collection is still around 6 months from the date of your booking. If the repair works are completed earlier, we would schedule you for an earlier key collection"selenal and candyprincess, your units are also undergoing the hacking and retiling process right? Saw my block, they are also painting and touching up the exterior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 actually it's better for them to complete repair works then give you the key rather than the other way roundlike me, rectification works have been on going for the past 4mths and still not done, so i've been paying $85/mth for the stupid S&CC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kayser 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) Hi all,I also got a "new" EA unit at Sembawang during April WIS at 339A Went to check on it on Monday evening and found the door wasn't lock. So I went in and take a look. I believe we can get the keys soon as all hacking, retiling, painting, plumbing are completed. Everything looks brand new. BUT the MBR toilet bowl got poo stain I believe the workers must have used it Edited July 4, 2007 by kayser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alberttcs 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 my stated, 25th july. Been going there almost every sunday to have breakfast at sunplaza with my son and wife, then pop by hopping to have a look at the progress. My train always pass by sembawang station every morning, so i always try to 'monitor' the exterior touch up. Everyday looks almost the same, how wish everything can speed up a little faster.

kayser 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 I passed by and take a look for the past 4 mondays First the floor tiling was seen to be hacked, then subsequent monday the screeding has been done. On the 3rd monday, went in and saw all the tiles were laid, painting done and left with plumbing and WC lying on the floor and floor not washed. This monday then saw everything done and washed up nicely but saw the unsightly stuff in the WC But over these days when I was there, I didn't see any notice pasting outside my unit stating the expected completion date although other units at different floors have. Strange though Oh! I didn't know can speed up the work by asking the HDB officer to priortise ah? I only enquire if we can top up $$ to better looking tiles but was told it was not able to do so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alberttcs 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 went down to my unit and was lucky to find the door open, saw the china workers working inside there, identified myself as the owner and they invited me in to take a look. Hee.Tiled have been hacked and cleared and they are 'screeding' (hope i got the spelling correct) the flooring.Saw the new tiles that they are going to lay, quite nice.( My wife likes it), hopefully their workmanship will be just as nice.Before i left, somehow 'bribed' them with drinks and they were so happy.Any idea would the wires be rewired?
