Shattered glass, water seepage: Canberra Residences owners sue contractor over unresolved defects
The MCST alleged it is still grappling with water ponding at lift lobbies and water seepage throughout the development.
Canberra Residences residents in Sembawang are taking legal action against the main contractor for unresolved defects at the condominium despite it being over a decade since completion. The dispute centers around a 2020 settlement agreement between the management corporation and main contractor MCC Engineering, which was supposed to address all claims arising from the development.
The development, built in 2013, has faced issues including water seepage, shattered balcony glass, and faulty paintwork. The MCST alleges that MCC Engineering breached the settlement by not completing rectification works as per the agreed timeline, and that some issues arose due to fair wear and tear or environmental factors. The contractor denies the breach, claiming most rectification works were completed and some defects are due to normal aging or maintenance issues.
