how to minimise? I also installed polycarbonate roof for my MBR balcony... i gotta to admit its damn loud!
spend money.
if you don't need the light coming through the polycarbonate roof panels, then maybe can add another layer of rockwool then covered by calcium silicate panels to hide the rockwool. the rockwool should absorb the sound from the polycarbonate panels and also additional heat insulation as well.
My house's roofing system is multi-layered with rockwool sandwiched in between and I don't get the sound of rain hitting the metal roofing panels.

on a side note, any idea how long can the auto gate motor last and also the replacement cost?
My current one is rather patchy and i am just worried it may kaput very soon

what kind of mechanism?
swing gate or sliding gate?
even for swing gate there's 2 types. one type is with swing arms and another type is with the mechanism inside the ground.
what do you mean by patchy?

sliding... the motor is really loud compared to the past... my contractor has been warning me to change out soon....
see if there's any stickers on the motor or gate controller box on who was the original installer for the system and see if you can contact them for them to take a look. for all you know, what needs to be done could be just some greasing of the gears or such. these stuff need the specialist to take a look rather than just rely on general contractor's recommendations.
at the end of the day, if really need replacement, you would rather have an auto-gate specialist do it as well since they will know what compatible model can be used as replacement as you're not just replacing the motor but must make sure the replacement is suitable for the gate's weight/gear rack as well as can "talk" to the existing control module unless you also want to replace the control module.
cost wise should not be too expensive. 7 years ago when I enquired for quotations for install for sliding gate, the quotations I received was about $1.5k for the motor, control module, remote, gear rack, laying cable, etc. So replacement of just the motor shouldn't cost more than that even after accounting for inflation

If they suggest, do it la, it's variable, but ten is a very good run. If the waterproofing is poor, it will be even less.

This brand new semi d has been in the market for close to 1 year and i think the developer finally decide to reach out to PLB for help to sell...

from the video, it looks like the same developer who did the upper changi angin laut semi-d that i shared 1 year ago when i was house hunting. The quality of the build and the layout is astonishing bad. They finally dropped the price from 6.3 to now 5.7.... but still unsold.

nope, normal tiles. The quality of the build is poor esp the fittings and carpentry works. similar to the quality in billy bookcase from Ikea, that gives you an idea on how cheapo the developer is.

Don't know why they painted the car porch yellow?
Its fugly.
built by WHYE WAH DEVELOPMENT & CONSTRUCTION PTE LTD
cos the plot is odd sized. was a plot for a detached and then split into 2 plots. unit 41 is regular shaped whereas 43 became a trapezium hence the frontage is much narrower than the back
QP is a senior who also does industrial buildings. no prizes from guessing where the inspiration for the facade came from.
