Yes i would hate to have a condo where your view was another condo 20 feet away. Why do people buy these when there are thousands around with decent views.

Maybe some folks are used to that type of view. I've seen photos of Russian apartment buildings lined up in a row like dominos and then see the same arrangement in new condo complexes in Jomtien that are mostly Russian occupied.

there was a serious on site accident yesterday when the blue digger in my pics above toppled over into some foundation works and pinned a worker by his leg to the ground

[alex1981]

Are they still selling?

must be a lot if gulliable people around unfortunately 

[wido]

They sent some buyers a letter and propose a discount of 5 % if they pay the last instalment now. only for the first 50 who agree. ???

[wido]

In April, workers were drilling holes in the foundation of the elevator shaft of building A and injected polyurethane foam. I asked the management what the problem was with. They answered no problem.

Is that because a lot of owners will hold out for the chanote before paying the final instalment?

The smart owners are.

Others who take that deal might be uninformed of the risks they are taking in Thailand .. if they knew their unsecured, last in the queue, positions behind the secured creditors (contractors, consultants, material suppliers, and lenders, if any), only pretty stupid buyers would do it. .. [and there are plane loads of newbies here arriving every single day].

Guys who take that deal are not risking that last installment, they are risking it all.

The project has a history of distress .. hope it finishes.

Hey, Wido .. if you are citing the vertical wall in the elevator 'cellar', exposing the steel reinforcing bar ("rebar"), well yeah, that is evidence of very poor construction .. absolutely unacceptable .. were it my development, I would direct that it be torn out and replaced, and the subcontractor's selection on the project evaluated .. that .. is very bad construction.

It is called 'honeycombing', where concrete does not penetrate all areas in the concrete form and leaves cavities .. these are huuuuge!

In that location, the wall is probably non-structural .. so if it fails, it is probably only from the lateral pressure put on it by the soil load retained behind it .. its failure would make a mess out of the elevator cellar (where elevator maintenance is conducted), not threaten the building's structural integrity.

An independent construction inspector might be concerned that this is an example of a typical concrete pour throughout the project .. if it occurs in a load bearing structural wall, whose failure would affect the building integrity, that would be a mongo concern.

However, I'd be more concerned by the fissure in the column/wall in the second photo, on the right side of the photo .. if that is a concrete load bearing structure (and not a non-load bearing block wall that is plastered over), that fissure is alarming .. all concrete cracks as it cures ("shrinkage cracks"), for which structures are designed to accommodate .. they are barely visible micro cracks .. but, that crack (if it is in a concrete load bearing structural element) .. that is not a shrinkage crack.

I would not expect this project to have the best subcontractors working on it .. just the cheapest .. and jeez, these are pretty clear indications.

OMG they did same with many in Centara avenue yet close to middle of 2018 still no chanote, no gym

Blueydog, there is a huuuge home field advantage to understanding local business practices .. while guys as you, scubascuba3, and wido all see it, there are a gazillion newbies flying in here every single day who simply do not understand that they are the local developer's and property agent's prey in this business .. it is to them and endless feast .. and many will take-up these guy's offer.

In 1930 construction started on the Empire State Building, 13 months later it was completed.  A much taller building with less building technology available.
