Below i list down the PROS and CONS of development with mechanized carpark system.
Why i started this thread is bcos i'm considering a boutique development with such system. Never had a home with one before. Consulted numerous friends and receive mixed reviews. More tilting towards negativity.
Please feel free to contribute pointers or experiences so as to help me make up my mind
thanks in advance
Interestingly Hamilton Scotts pitch this system as one of their selling points (for the showy ones)
PROS
Sheltered from sun and rain
Prevention of theft and vandalism (Peace of mind especially go for long travel)
CONS
Tendency to breakdown / unstable
Takes some time to retrieve car (feedback is 5-10mins, this is quite significant as 10 mins drive can sometimes gets you distance 10-15km)
Queue (if only 1 system serving many cars)
Limited tonnage and dimension acceptance
Cannot engage bangla (not racist, just a way of saying) to wash car
