i doubt they would though i have heard similar stories.

why hang dirty laundry in public?

What is considered a "horror story".
1. Toilet bowls not flushed after used by the workers with things floating inside
2. Cigarette butts in the aircon ledges
3. Drainage pipes strucked with debris from construction, causing a flood in bedrooms
4. Water pipe burst due to pin holes caused by drilling.

For some, item 1& 2 is a horror story. For many other Item 3&4 is a real horror story. My point, it boils down to expectation and perception. No development is perfect. Whatever "shit" you get, as long as it is resolved in a reasonable fashion by the developer, I do not think it should be washed in the public. SHIT is Special High Intensity Training.

My solution: No Expectations = No Disappointments.

Such problems surely happen, so i employ cleaners to cleanup.

Some of these cleaning companies have inspectors who will highlight damages/chokes. Get the budget from them and present to developers. Chances are developers will give you prompt corrective action. Developers worry you will claim against them.

Pass the crap to Interior Designer to resolve when he do planning.

I like your suggestion! After reading so many horror stories on Skyscraper forum, I think I need to be prepared.

Have no fear, u should be happy and looking foward to getting keys, just scrutinize and send list of defects to developer, am sure your other half will hound developer, making sure defects are done ....have to push and chase them...., the harder u press them, the faster and more attention they give to your unit

You scared of your wife more or the flaws in your unit?

Is your partner a property agent? can scream enough to make buyer buy at record high? thinking of offloading another unit next year.

But I must say, some Singaporeans also super fussy and unreasonable lah. One small scratch that can polish away also ask to change entire flooring type. Everything blown out of proportion. And then when they move in, their children will scratch everything any way.

prepare a list and industry usually called it punchlist or defect list, take your time to check carefully. Also mark up in the plan for easy reference during joint inspection with the developer..

Take photos of the defects items.

once done, email it to the developer, make sure you don signany letter of discharge, after all you still got one year period to discover those not identify ealier.

that true ...

also some time those replaced tiles/slab, once replace and you will not get back the same. The floor may feel uneven, colour tone contrast etc..

"some defects to the common property" arose from the contractor's poor workmanship, even as CDL's lawyer Ling Tien Wah argued that "there's no such thing as a perfect building".

Or we change the title, better to buy from listed developer (FEO, CDL) or private developer (MCL)?

Developer's lawyer will say anything to dismiss liability for their client. The onus is on the plaintiff to prove the case.

Marble flooring uneven colour.
