Punggol BTO residents unable to move in due to shoddy works, defects and unresponsive authorities

From uneven walls and hollow structures to water ponding and missing belongings, the homeowners told TNP they were caught in a frustrating battle with shoddy workmanship and unresponsive authorities."My unit has uneven and hollow walls," he told TNP on June 20. The 34-year-old administrator received keys to his five-room flat in March.

"He had to spend a bit of money to remove the vinyl that he already paid for using his CPF money," shared Mr Iman.Mr Iman showed TNP scores of photographs shared by the residents in the chat group. The homeowners said their attempts to seek redress have been met with roadblocks and frustration. “Most of us have not moved in yet,” explained Mr Iman, adding that he could not get satisfying rectifications by BSC.In an e-mail to TNP on June 23, Dr Janil said:"I have been in regular contact with the residents of Punggol Point Cove, the Resident’s Network and the staff involved at HDB and the BSC. The work is ongoing to ensure that the homes are ready and the defects and concerns properly addressed. A meeting has already been arranged.

“We had three rounds of rectification as, after the first round, many of the things we had flagged were not rectified at all,” she said, citing wires sticking out of walls, and misaligned windows and pipes as some of the issues left unaddressed. A new main contractor was appointed for the Punggol Point Cove BTO project, a month after the Housing Board terminated the services of its previous contractor due to unsatisfactory progress, reported The Straits Times in August last year.
