    Default External walls

    I heard that you are given 1 yr warranty on any defects on your unit but how about the external? I had received my TOP letter and went down to the site to have a look at my apartment but some part of the external walls are not painted yet. If after collecting the key and the walls are still not painted, what should I do? As per specification, it is supposed to be painted with weather shield paint. If without the paint, and the rain water seep into the building, who is going to bear the cost?

    Thank you. But is their fund comes from the residents sinking fund? I heard that there are 10 yrs warranty by the developers for the external building, is it true?

    IMO, i dont think any paint is going to protect the concrete.

    Concrete itself is quite waterproof.

    The weathershield might refer to the anti-fungal properties and strong resistance to wear and tear (to the paint) due to exposure to the elements.

    The structure has been exposed to the rain for as long as the construction process.....dont worry...its not tofu!

    Thank you, so it is ok if it is not painted but it doesn't look nice leh. If I ask my lawyer to write to the developer, will the lawyer charge me for a fee?
