Hi Legend, we all already know that C4 had started its operation long b4 CNY... Guess you didn't pass by there for quite some time huh?
Neway, C4 just had its official opening ceremony last week 29/02.

Hello everyone,

I just spoke to Mr Lee one of the contractor ( fed up to speak to Chris!!! ).
He advised we can get the keys in April, he could not specify the date exactly... so I guess.. we all better give a buffer of 2 months ie. June 2008.. to avoid any more frustration.

talking bout CF, last few weeks I did go for a visit just to check around the building....suddenly found that there's a crack on the wall....the crack is quite big....the crack is hidden on the wall facing the hills....maybe because of that is the reason why we still yet to get the keys..... Sad

i went to renjana yesterday wanting to see chris to ask about the same thing - when can we get the keys?

to my shock, i saw cracks, cracks and cracks!!! outside the staircase (the one farther from the condo entrance) and also at some of the units balcony area...including mine! this is really alarming and we did ask chris..he said that they are doing something to seal the cracks and all, but still i'm feeling really insecure and unconvince.

what do u guys think? I insist everyone go have a look and together we lodge complaints to chris until he pening and losses more hair!!

Hello everyone,

I went to Renjana yesterday evening and oh yes... to my horror the crack was there ... at the starcaise.. It looked so obvious from outside.. my goodness I dont know what is happening. I called Chris to ask him about it, and he seems sooooo cool to say that this is OK.... ayooo I dont trust this guy anymore..
I wonder if these cracks will become bigger when we all shift in.. what more with all our stuff going up the lift...............

and again asked when we can get the keys... he told me "just wait for the management office to send the letter"...
Anyyone knows who we should contact to get a rightful respond. I have been giving notice to my current owner, every single month... and this is really not fair to him.

I wonder who we can speak to to ask about our CF status.. this is really not good..... Sad

Hello,

I called the Wangsa Eramoden in PJ, 5 minutes ago, spoke to Rachel ( admin staff ). Keys should be ready mid May or June 2008. Waiting for CF.
Complaint about the cracks at the staircase. She claims do not know about this but assured the management will look into it.

I am feeding so fed up with all this kind of unpromising answers....
Can I make suggestion... we all start calling the office or Chris, to pressure them. Rolling Eyes

Morning to everyone,

Had sppked with Racheal regarding about the CF. She told me that got 7pcs CF should be applied. Now they already get 5pcs CF(apporved), still waiting for 2pcs CF for approve. That's way she told us we can get the key latest on May/June2008. Regarding the cracks, she told me they will repair it before we get the key.
So we no choice, hope she will not bamboozle us and will get good news from them A.S.A.P loh....

jirehjane
You can try to called Mr. Ian. He told me he is the project manager for this project when I bought this condo.

Have a nice day Razz

Hello to all my future neighbours...

Regarding the cracks at the staircase, I noticed it long time ago. For your information, I am a civil and structural engineer. I can say that it is just thermal cracking of the wall plastering. It is like hairline cracks that spread randomly. It is normal in our Malaysia hot climate. It is ok after sealing it....I even saw some similar cracks in my unit's master bedroom....it is due to poor workmanship....I wish they can touch up nicely when they hand over the unit to me....

However, I didn't visit the condo for few months....so I am not sure how severe are the cracks now....can you guys describe in more detail...I guess the guard won't let me in even if I want to go for a visit now...

By the way, if it is the structural crack, the cracks are found at beams and columns. Normally, the crack width is obvious, say 5mm to 1cm. If the beam is underdesigned for bending, the cracks will be found at the middle bottom of the beam....If it is underdesigned for shear (vertical force), the cracks will be found at the edge of the beam in diagonal 45 degree pattern...hehehe....sorry for typing in these technical things...I hope this kind cracks are not found in our condo.....

Can't wait to move into my dream home...hehehe...see you guys lah...

hi august_wind, if you coming from main road (jln ampang) normally we need to make a u-turn after the hardware store to reach renjanan right? now if you go straight (without making the u-turn) towards kajang highway, you will reach a main traffic light (T-junction). on the left are shop lots (dono what the tmn is called). Turn left and you can see the construction...

Hi hylee_1981, good info man. That really helps to clear doubts for a layman like me... Smile

Anyway, like august wind asked, how long will thees 2 CF take to confirm?
I think we've waited long enough (since July 07) to move in Question
