Bayan Villa, Bukit Ikhlas

Ewyong sent me 2 photos (shown above). Bukit Ikhlas has “updated” the billboard with a tag “PROCESSING CF NOW!”.

Purchaser Ewyong got hitched recently. He’s got permission from David to take some wedding shots in Bayan Villa one fine afternoon. Congrats to Ewyong and his wife, Annie, wishing you both a lifetime of togetherness, and may you have a happy wedded life!

Ewyong said:-

“Just to share a place that is quite near to Bayan Villa that we can have affordable Chicken Chop and Steak. The name of the shop is “Chop n Steak”. Didn’t manage to take photo when I went to this shop last week but tried to search online and found quite a number of postings about this place. It is situated just beside the round-about near the the UPM road and Fire Department.”

On behalf of purchaser Wei Yong:

Q. How confirmed are they to deliver the project by this year?
A. This time they are very positive that the project can be delivered latest by end of the year. If the approved access road blocked at the Sun Garden can be reopened, it might be earlier then that.

Q. Why is the landscaping still at progress even though the project should be expected to be completed soon.
A. The landscaping is actually quite fast to complete because the hardscape is there already. The developer do not wish to put up all the trees so soon because they will need extra resource to look after the trees before the completion.

Q. How is the compensation be paid?
A. It will be in cash and the terms is as per SPA.

Q. Who will manage the property when it is completed?
A. The developer might be the management for the first year and the residence of BV will have to form some sort of owners committee and bring in the management to manage the property after that.

Q. How the Club House works?
A. The clubhouse will consist of the common facilities such as swimming pool, badminton court, etc. Currently it is not decided if the clubhouse shuld be opened to the public or only to the BV because if only open to BV residence, if the participation is low, the cost to maintain the facility will be a problem.

In addition, Wei Yong also said that the dinner meeting on June 16 was very helpful especially to help convince us that they were trying their best to complete the project.

Purchaser Wei Yong has come up with a few concerns which I think all other purchasers would have wanted to know the answer:

1. Why is there a sudden requirements to add new road, why this wasn’t mentioned
when the project started?

2. What is the expected timeline for BI to complete the new roads?

3. Who will be involved in the building of the road? Is it going to be BI alone or another group of contractors that will be deployed. If new contractor, does that means it will goes through another round of project tendering again?

4. Is there anything else that BI still need to do other then the additional roads? We don’t want to get new surprises again in the next 3 months when there is suddenly new requirements needs to be meet.

Wei Yong also stated that he had gone to the show room recently and noticed that all the TNB cables were still sitting near the hill there. He was wondering why those had not been installed to all the units if the expected delivery was actually June 2009.

Thankfully, Kenneth from Bukit Ikhlas has answered Wei Yong’s questions but we need to clarify it in the meeting on Sunday. I will post up Kenneth’s reply to Wei Yong after this entry.
