Around BK: Giant Hypermarket

The Giant Hypermarket in Bandar Kinrara, BK 5A has finally been completed and the grand opening is tomorrow, 23-08-2007. It will definitely increase the value of SR upon completion . . . . . . . . . . if it ever gets completed at all, as works on site is rather stagnent :(

Temporary Hoardings and Site Office up but still not much construction activities on site. Probably transition period as the piling contractor had completed the works and now waiting for the Main Contractor to come in ?

Construction Works to go Full Swing?

There seems to be more activities on site recently. Hopefully signs that they are proceeding full swing with the construction works after completing piling works. The site is now in the process of being hoarded. However still no name on the signboard who the Main Contractor is. Do you think Pembinaan Sierra Mal will contruct the building themselves?

Temporary Hoardings Are Being Done On Site

There are also some temporary kongsi and containers being placed at the SR 2 site. I think they would be housing their workers for SR 1 there. So I don't think they would launch SR 2 this year.

Was at the site on Sunday, there seems to be some sort of activities at the Tower 2 area as shown in the photos. I thought they are beginning to cast the floor slab and was wondering why they didn't start with Tower 1. However, a friend of mine told me that they are preparing to do a test pile.

Took the following site photos yesterday. There seems to be not much activities on site recently.
May be they are concentrating on the piling works for Tower 2, so as to be able to bill the purchasers. Even the steel exposed steel bars for the piles in Tower 1 are starting to rust. Should this be a concern?

Not much activities on site over the past few weeks. I think the contractor is rushing to complete the piling works for Tower 2 so that the developer can bill the purchasers of that tower as well.

Thought I noticed some earth movements at the slope next to Tower A! You people be the judge. Isn't the contractor suppose to provide some sort of slope protection upon cutting the slope?

Additional Electrical Points

Received the upgrading of electrical points from the developer on 30042007. They are offerring 3 packages for upgrading from the following existing electrical specification: -

Price Of The Three Packages

Package A: RM 860.00

Package B: RM 1,410.00

Package C: RM 2,260.00

I must say the unit prices are rather high. Has the price of copper gone up so much ah!!! The weird thing is that they did not offer additional ceiling fan points which I think is extremely useful. We can't be expected to switch on the Air Cond all the time!!!

Also I noticed that the consulting engineers, E-den Konsult Sdn Bhd is not the same engineer on the project signboard, em . . . . .
