Building on confidence
08/05/2004  NST-PROP
FOR some developers, the build-then-sell method is too risky. But for a company such as the Bandar Tasik Semenyih Group (BTSG) which is undertaking a 16-acre project comprising bungalows, semi-detached units and superlink houses in an enclave called Seri Damai in the burgeoning Kajang township in Selangor, the approach makes perfect sense. In the words of the company's managing director Lim Yan Pok: "The concept has been proven effective by creating a win-win situation for both developer and buyer."

Adopt Build First And Sell Later Concept, Housing Developers Told
25/05/2004 Bernama.com

Build before you sell makes sense
25/05/2004 NST
"BUILD-before-you-sell" for the builder is "see-before-you-buy" for the buyer. How many of us would buy a new car without test driving or at least seeing one? How many of us would marry without meeting or at least seeing our future life partner? Yes, I know some do, but that is the exception. One could buy a house before it is built if he chooses to, but that will always be an option.

It's a question of risk for housing developers
25/05/2004 NST
I REFER to "Developers concerned about `build first, sell later' proposal as opposed to `sell first, build later'," (NST, May 22). The whole idea and reason for choosing a particular method is risk positioning. In other words, it's a question of who's taking more risk: consumer or developer. The "sell first, build later" is the preferred method for developers because it is less risky; they do not need deep pockets and as long as they can pre sell 60-70 per cent of the stock, it's a home run.
