Stringent tests ensures building reliability of Avida structures

Owning a condominium unit or a house and lot marks a milestone in the life of homeowners. For Avida Land clients, the home usually represents a lifestyle upgrade; is the fruit of years of hard work and is often the fulfillment of an aspiration or dream, according to market research.
To an average Avida homeowner, the monthly amortization of his unit represents at least one third of his monthly income or a major chunk of his savings. To ensure that the hard-earned unit truly represents good value, Avida designs, materials and layouts undergo stringent tests, according to Avida officials.

Building reliability is ensured by Avida Land from the conceptual stage through the engagement of the services of a reliable third party audit or a peer reviewer of international caliber.
Engr. Alberto Manus, project manager of Avida Land's construction management group discloses: "Avida Land has tapped Ove Arup to review the structural design of our condominium developments." Ove Arup is a 60-year old UK firm specializing in building, infrastructure and consulting, with 70 offices in more than 30 countries.

As a peer reviewer, Ove Arup engineers go over the structural design of Avida Land's condominium buildings, discuss their findings with Avida's team of architects and engineers and recommend alterations or revisions to further strengthen the structural soundness of the edifice, which should withstand tremors and other natural calamities.

It is only after Ove Arup and Avida Land teams have agreed to the revisions that the real property developer starts civil works on its condominium projects, says Architect Jeremy Acosta, the department head of Avida Land's technical planning unit.

Avida Land's research and development team tests all finishing products such as paint, door knobs, electrical outlets and window latches to ensure that the materials used are of the highest quality and will last over time, according to Avida Land's senior architect Antonio Villavicencio.
After the Avida Land unit owner has moved in, the development's property manager provides post-construction assistance to homeowners. The property manager's services include ensuring the cleanliness and maintenance of common facilities such as the elevator and hallways, garbage disposal, minor repair, assistance in the installation of electrical appliances, and crisis management if a disaster or a major problem will arise.

Ayala Property Management Corp. sees to it that Avida properties enjoy 24/7 security, adequate water and electricity. Avida Land community amenities include a multipurpose clubhouse, swimming pool, sports facilities and landscaped parks and are also supervised and maintained by the property management team.

Residents of Quezon City and other northern towns of the national capital region in search of a structurally sound condominium development are invited to visit Avida Towers New Manila along Bonny Serrano Avenue. Its studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and loft model units are open to prospective buyers for viewing. Avida Towers units cost P1 million to P3.2 million.

Consider condo lifestyle and security for your fam

Moving up from a two-storey house to a two-bedroom home

Mars Caja Jr. who moved with his family from a two-storey house in a Paranaque subdivision to a two-bedroom condominium unit at Avida Towers Sucat represents a rising segment of residential condominium owners. After bearing with the unmet promises of a subdivision developer for 15 years, he now enjoys the availability of water and tight security round the clock, well maintained amenities and other aspects of a well-planned community and superior property management.

Caja, who lives in Avida Towers Sucat with wife Tessie and two adult children, recalls that for more than 15 years they didn’t fully enjoy the most basic of services – water.

For their bathing, kitchen and laundry needs, the Cajas resorted to having water delivered to their home by enterprising individuals, paying P200 for each delivery of 500 gallons three times a week with no assurance that what they were getting met approved public safety standards. When laboratory results revealed that their bath and laundry water showed a high level of impurity and even fecal content, they made the decision to change residence. The residential complex along Dr. A. Santos Avenue being developed by a subsidiary of Ayala Land shared a heritage of reliability, integrity and commitment. Thus, it was a natural choice for the family.

Mars, who runs his own outdoor advertising company and a family-owned medical clinic, gladly exchanged their five bedroom home for a two-bedroom unit at Avida Towers Sucat. They now pay only a third of what they used to for water – and it now flows freely from their taps.
Because they now live in a more efficient space, their power bill likewise went down by 40 percent. Moreover, services offered by the Ayala Property Management Corp. include the maintenance of common areas and regular garbage collection which means the family spends less time in cleaning and maintenance jobs. In addition, they now also enjoy a swimming pool, jogging path, social hall and other amenities of the multi-tower complex.

Mars observes that all these conveniences have allowed him to devote more time to his passions. A few times a month, for instance, the retired marketing executive sits in the Means and Awards Committees of various state agencies as non-governmental organization representative. The task is part of his volunteer work with the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines which is part of a joint church-state program to curb corruption nationwide.

From Avida Towers Sucat, Mars has convenient access to various government offices in Metro Manila, whether he chooses to drive or commute. The development along Dr. A. Santos Ave., after all, is served byMoving up from a two-storey house to a two-bedroom home

From Avida Towers Sucat, Mars has convenient access to various government offices in Metro Manila, whether he chooses to drive or commute. The development along Dr. A. Santos Ave., after all, is served by public transportation.

For leisure, SM Sucat is just right across the street and there he often meets friends for lunch or dinner. Mars is also a few minutes drive from the public golf courses in Fort Bonifacio, the Philippine Navy compound and Villamor Air Base. With the recent inauguration of the clubhouse and swimming pool at Avida Towers Sucat, the trim and well-built entrepreneur in his 70s says he will add swimming to his list of sports.

Mars foresees that the clubhouse will become the natural focal point of the closely-knit community. The active director of the Avida Towers Sucat homeowners’ board notes that the association will now have a regular venue for their Christmas, Valentines and other activities for unit owners.
