from their solicitor.

He is concerned about fire rating and
sound proofing features of the current construction
of party walls for 2 storey link house.
Questions:
1. What building codes/laws governs the use of cement
sand bricks as party walls and the method of construction?
2. Who is monitoring the method of construction and
to ensure that every cement sand brick laid is fire
rated?
3. The S&P unfortunately does not state the type
of bricks use or the thickness of walls that the developer
need to deliver - hence, are buyers getting short change?
|
1. UBBL
2. The Architect and Fire and Rescue Department (BOMBA).
3. The second Schedule requires the Approval Building
Plan to be attached. Buyers should not sign the S&P
if they are not happy with the Agreement.

Need opinion/advise on:
1. When the architect had taken more than 30 days to
issue certificate for his work done without assigned
any reason, what he can do?
2. When the consultant QS had requested Architect to
issue instruction for QS to carry out the evaluation
of his direct cost and expense for more than 21 days
and the architect has not reply nor issue such instruction
without assign any reason, what he can do?

architect, what are the procedures involve?

certificate.
3. Write to LAM who is the Statutory body governing

In Aug 2001 they bought a bungalow at
Jln Permatang Damar Laut, Penang. The house was certified
on Aug 2003. But after they made payment to the developer
and collected the key of the house, they found that
the electrical wiring surrounding the house was not
concealed. They also noted that tarring of the roads
servicing the housing area was only carried out 4 months
after the issuance of the Architect's said certificate.
They believe that the Architect had issued the certificate
not because the housing unit was completed and ready
for handing over but to enable the developer to collect
the progress payment as well as for developer to get
away with not having to pay them late delivery charges.
They ask PAM to assist whether the Architect is justified
in issuing the said certificate in Aug 2003. |
Based on the facts provided, the Architect
was not justified to issue the certificate and to assist
you in this matter, we enclose herewith the LAM Guidelines
for Certification for your reference |
