Progress Payment Stage 2a

Received a progress payment notice from the developer yesterday for Tower 1 with the following Architect's certificate attached. Invoice is dated 13.04.2007 and payment due date is 09.05.2007.

It says completion of piling and foundation of the building. I think piling is completed from what I have seen on site, but what about the foundation bit? Is there anything more to it? What about pilecaps, raft slab, footing and stumps that must be completed as listed in the circular in the Board of Architects website?

The following photos were taken on 19042007, seven days after the Architect certify the completion of the piling and foundation.

Around BK: Kinrara Golf Club

Kinrara Golf Club is located along Jalan BK 6 in Bandar Kinrara. Its 18-hole golf course will presents challenges to golf enthusiast moving into SR, since it is only a stone throw away.

For those who are not into golf, like me, Kinrara Golf Club also provides a variety of family oriented facilities ranging from tennis, swimming pool, gymnasium / aerobic room and others.

Piling Works Completed But No Signs Of Footing Works, I Was Told That They Need To Complete The Footings Works As The Whole Foundation System Before Sending Out Their Progress Billings

Stage Billings By Developer

I came accross the following link in the website of the Board Of Architects Malaysia which may be helpful to everyone. At least we know what need and need not to be completed when the developer send the bill to us/our end financier for payment. You have to scroll to Page 9, Schedule H which is applicable for sub-divided building.

For the next stage, all foundation works below the lowest floor slab (ie. the car park floor) must be completed including pile caps. Currently, I think they have only completed the piling for Tower 1, I think they still need to do the pile caps before sending out the bill.

Sierra Residency II

Got the following layout regarding the other project by Pembinaan Sierra Mal Sdn Bhd in the vicinity along Jalan BK 5B /5. The Planning approval was dated back in 2 August 2005. Was told by the developer's representative that they are changing the layout due to complications of incorporating the drain reserved within the project.
