Reference to property discussion no’s 45823, 45824, 45832, 45837 & 45845 posted by Mr. Saleem Awan and no. 45778 posted by DHA Ordinance

A very happy new year to all the readers. May God bring peace and bless his bounty worldwide in this and coming years.

I am Project Manager of DHA Valley but I am writing as a visitor to this website and as someone who has an interest in real estate development and future projects. My observations are based purely on available statistical data and existing facts.

As for as my information no one name Mr. Saleem Awan is working in DHA Islamabad. If he is an employee, he should come often with more info about himself.

I would like to highlight some project-wise facts about DHAI projects in succeeding lines.

DHA Phase-II
Fully develop phase. Sectors comprising from A to J. Situated on main GT Road and Islamabad Highway. Ready for possession.

DHA Phase-II (Extn)
Initially sectors were comprised from A to Q but replanning of phase segregate it into 4 main sectors (from A to D). Situated on Islamabad Highway and in-front of DHA Valley made the location really prominent. Development work is under process. The earlier the sector (out of 4) the sooner the possession is expected. Conversion of files to allotment letters are also in process. DHA Expressway (8.2 km, 6 lanes) are near to completion, with some work remaining on bridges/crossways. It will connect Islamabad Highway to DHA Valley through Phase-II (Extn).

DHA Phase-I (Extn)
Interchange is under constructed and construction work is in progress. DHA is planning the remapping of sectors to pace-up the work. Due to current market crunch exact date of possession cannot given but it is under high priority of DHA.

DHA Valley:
Comprising into 20 sectors, DHA Valley is a bunch of quiet a few projects. Master plan is designed by M/S OJMR Architect, while Habib Rafique and Bahria Town are partners is development. Other renowned companies like EMAAR, AREAA, MIDJAC & HARO are also associating DHA in its’ projects. Development work is in progress and possession is expected to given from 2012 starting from 5 & 8 marla DHA Homes. Its’ an environment friendly place and will be pioneer in community development in terms of size and facilities when completed.

Country’s current real estate situation, economic recession and law and order condition is well known to everyone. Real Estate prices are adjusted nationwide. In recent times, there’s a requirement of sound management team to meet current challenges. DHA has this credibility to deliver. William Channing once said, “Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict”.

I recommend members/visitors to use this site only to facilitate others. I do hope the administration of web site/CMY will look after the above referred mails like property discussion no’s 45823, 45824, 45832, 45837 & 45845. Attitudes are more important than facts.

Suggestions/comments are welcome. Thanks and Best Regards

Imran

Dear Imran

Which are the best sectors in pri as per your opinion in DHA Phase-II.

Visitor replied on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 02:47 PM 

Imran Sahib thanks for your detailed information for the benefits of all visitors. Please clarify with reference to DHAI Phase I Ext:-
(1) Is the contract for development is awarded? If yes then who are the contractor(s)
(2) Is the development work is in progress other than interchange
(3) When the development is to complete as per operative contract agreement ?
Thanks in advance

Azad K replied on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 05:26 PM 

I think DHA needs to innovate and creditability is very important for DHA, as when it is lost it will be difficult to regain. Before the projects are launched DHA should clearly state when everything will be completed and when possession will be offered, and it should strictly stick with that timeframe otherwise it should compensate the plot owners who have kept their end of the bargain. As time progresses the public should be informed about updates regularly as this will stop people creating rumours, and increase the credibility of DHA. DHA website should be regularly updated with news and progress. DHA should stop taking its customers for granted and aim to deliver good customer service, and deliver upon its promises. If you have the land and have the money then nothing should stop the development of schemes, and it is wrong to make excuses to justify incompetence. Somebody needs to take responsibility.

Azad K replied on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 06:56 PM 

P.s OMJR Architects from the U.S is mentioned in the details in order to suggest that the planning is done by a large reputable firm with expertise in this field yet OMJR does not even have a website. BTW would it not have been better to award the contract to a firm of Town Planners as opposed to Architects. Architects design buildings they don't design neighbourhoods.

I have a 1 canal plot in Sector E(Ex-Commoners Town)-DHAI Phase II Ext.

In view of the above, can you please let me know has the sector E(Ex-Commoners)name been changed & secondly is this area under DHAI Ph II OR DHAI PHASE II Ext.

Thanks

A Response............... replied on Wednesday, January 6, 2010 03:33 AM 

It is a good effort to clarify many doubts but there are many more. I suggest Editor of DHAI newsletter must come up to satisfy the members of DHAI so that we are not dragged by the negative propaganda by few. Nice to see someone has taken the initiative to address through this very important forum which is read by concerned people world wide. DHAI have huge staff and officers who are paid out of the funds collected from the members. Administrative DHAI must take a note to put in best efforts to imrove communication betwen the members of DHAI and the administration. Some of the members have invested all of their savings and under debts after investing in the DHAI projects advertised beautifully. I have seen very poor lot of Pakistan praying( BADUAIN ) against the planners of DHAI who have made them more poor. One can visit the DHAI offices and can see all the staff enjoying in their luxurious offices with AC on and having very good time at the cost of thousands of poor investors. WHO IS GOING TO WAKE THEM UP! For GOD sake read these lines and work hard to regain the hard earned money of your brothers Pakistani. Spending time to enjoy all types of perks will not solve the problems.....

Thanks for imposing your confident. OJMR is the Master Planner of DHA Valley. DHA has its own Town Planning Directorate to design neighborhood and other details.


Reply to Mr. Azad, A Response... & Mr. Hussain:
My dear friends, I invite all of you to visit DHA once and see how things work here. You will get your answers. One reason I find, no official reply was given by the DHA to the questions arises on different private discussions but neither DHA is bond to do so. It has to be answer by someone, as it is hurting the members. Delivery/Possession has been delayed in various projects nationwide. I am not covering DHA for anything delayed but if comparison with other projects of similar dimensions, DHA is very much comparable. In times of recent recession and market situation 3-4 years are nothing in real estate projects. Neither the boom five years before was precise nor the current time. It has to be adjusted with its real pace in near future or future. Sometimes, things are not as good or as bad as we explain them.

Reply to MFB:
Commoners Town was merged in DHA as Ph.II (Extn). To precise, if you travel from Rawat Chowk (Rawalpindi) to Faizabad (Islamabad), on your left side it is Ph.II (Proper) and on your right side it is Ph.II (Extn). Your plot is in Ph.II (Extn). I mentioned the replanning of sectors are on cards. You can ask from concerned staff for telling your plot no.

I am having a difficult time to understand. Please no offence to both of you Gentlemen yourself & Saleem Awan are working for the same organization but have 02 different views i.e., you have stated Ex-Commoners Town(Sector A to E) is part of DHAI Ph II Ext where as Saleem has mentioned these sectors are now part of DHAI Ph II.

In view of the above, please clarify what is the current & correct stand on Ex-Commoners Town(Sector A to E.

Dear Imran,

What a bundle of lies, i have a plot in Ex commeners town earlier Block B, which is near to GT road, who has given the right to replan the plots on good location we bought years before DHA and Commeners town merger. Besides plots in old sectors as B and E blocks of ex-commers town were priced higher as compared to C and D blocks.
I have put all my savings in the B block plots.
DHAI islamabad is loosing its credibility very fast. Too me you guys are bundle of cheats just like the rest of the lot.
May god destroy your families, your children, your livelyhood the same way you destroy and rob common people of Pakistan.

Mr. Imran You said EMAAR, AREAA, MIDJAC & HARO Companies are working for DHA, while Only EMMAR has worked for maddows near Ex-commoners town. While AREAA and MIDJAC in working only in Bahria New phases like Phase-7 & 8. AREAA is turkish company developing the houses in bahria town. Your information is not correct.

Here i will reply for Mr. Imran post. in which he wrote the most fuuny jokes of the New Year.

MR. IMRAN! You claim yourself The PROJECT MANAGER of DHA Valley. While project manager of DHA VALLEY is "Mr. Shahzad Iqbal". and Deputy Project Manager name is "Muhammad Usman". Both are from Habib Raifiq Private Limittid. This project is joint Venture of DHA, Bahria Town and Habib Rafiq. Habib Rafiq is developer, Bahira town is financer and DHA is Supervising as Client. If any body confused with Mr. imran claims and want to know about the Real Project manager then go to Rawat instrial State through Industrial road and stop at Sui Gas Station. Here is the Site office of DHA Valley. anybody can meet with the Project Manager and can certify my words. I am not working in DHA Valley but i am working in DHA Office.

In view of the above, I already know know my plot # & its a corner plot in Sector E(Ex-Commoners Town) does this mean, the plots are going to be reshuffled or replaned with new plots nos. Please confirm.

Thanks


Is it correct as Imran has mentioned that plots

AnotherOverseasPakistani. replied on Friday, January 8, 2010 08:55 AM 

I have some investments in DHA and other projects in Pakistan. The main problem of overseas people are lack of communication. In my humble suggestion if communication be made strong, we will not only be satisfied but can also produce significant role in the development of our beloved country. As a Pakistani if you do not get the feedback on time than it is natural to be worry.

I have mix experience in this regard. Recently I am in Pakistan for a leave. Ihave also visited in DHA Islamabad office for updation of my record. I have found the staff properly working and dealing. Atleast, I am satisfied the i have been treated. I think Imran has took an initiative to give answers arising in this forum. We must value his effort. All of us known that important decisions are not taken on Project Manager level. Although my investments in other projects are also come into half from level, but the overseas Pakistani are satistied that atleast they have invested in DHA and DHA has some credibility. May I pray Almightly Allah that what happened in Peshawar and Karachi and other places reently, we will come out of it and will be again on the road of development INSHALLAH.

In last. I have work in a multinational pharmaceutical company, although i am a foreigner but i have to obey the rules of my company and cannot and will not say anything against it. The site is one of the main source world wide so kindly do not spread the wrong messages world wide.

SALEEM AWAN replied on Friday, January 8, 2010 11:05 AM 

Mr. OverseasFurious Pakistani! Dont' disheart and Don't be emotional due to poor knowledge and disinformation of Mr. imran.
I will brief you, Mr. MFB and all other Ex-commoners town plot memebers
about Ex- Commoners town.
Ex-Commoners town was a private housing scheme launched in 2004. It has four sectors (B,C,D,E). It was merged in DHA in 2005. Then it name was changed from Commoners Town extension to DHA Phase-2 extension and it was a small part of DHA phase-2 extension. at the scheme gate they wrote also DHA Phase-2 Extension. In 2008 It was renamed to DHA phase-2 Ex-commoners town and become a part of DHA phase-2. Board at Gate was also replaced and they wrote it "DHA PHASE-2 SECTOR BC, CC, DC & EC"
sector BC means "sector-B of Commoners town".

While DHA PHASE-2 EXTENSION become a separate project which is 6 KM far from this ex-commoners town. This extension has sector-A to T. in market the files of extension are available. files of sector A~K has higher price while sector L~R has lower price. To finish this disadvantage of lower prices, DHA has distributed the scheme in four major sector i.e A,B,C & D. But new map is not yet issued because it will be designed by OJMR archetects (USA). So, the work at site is pending due to design and Drawings.
I think you understand the differnce between DHA phase-2 Ex-Commoners town and DHA phase-2 extensino. Your plot in sector-B should be at same location where it was satuated. only some plots are replaced due to Ling river. If you tell me your plot no. i can tell you the location.
Dont' worry and don't listen to Mr. Imran who is misguiding the people. DHA is also responsible for this confusion because they change the name of Ex-commoners town many times. also, they are confusing the members of DHA Phase-2 Extension and sector planning.
DHA should first decide that what they want to do and then annouce something. otherwise there will be no difference between politicion and DHA.

I have investments in DHA Phase II Extn and Valley projs so i am very keenly see the developments in the site and looking for possession to build house. yes i am satisfied with the development of DHA Valley and Overseas but work should be expedite in Ph.II extn.

But I again doubt you work in DHA, the way you speak against DHA (even they are wrong)...

Subject: Re: Shifting / Re-Location of Plots Overseas Sector - NO WAY

In reference to your attached mail, below please find my reply.

As confirmed to you physically during visit to your office on , i hereby reconfirm that i would like to retain my plot (# 11 in village-1) in overseas sector. Therefore kindly do not relocate my plot to DHAI ph-2, as proposed in your attached mail.

The remaining 2 installments will be paid when plot is developed, therefore waive the surcharges if any.


However i draw DHAI attention to the following solemn concerns and facts.

In May-2005 Overseas sector plots were sold at around 4.5 million PKRs.
Later insensitively Development charges of US$ 16,500 added, without any justification and information.
(Development charges increased from none to 600,000 PRs, then 16,500 US$)

Above paid amount of 4.5 million PRs in Y-2005 (five years before)
had a good value to buy more than one plot in any of DHAI sectors.
DHAI earnings not stopped here, as US$ 16,500 further earned by DHAI from its helpless customers.

Now after paying above huge sum of money and waiting of 5 years, DHAI is proposing relocation of plot to ph-2.

Well in order to settle on that I request DHAI to kindly arrange a super heart especially for a customer,

who was vowed development of overseas sector in around 3 years time,
who was dreamed highly standard, luxurious development by international firms,
who has paid above mammoth total of funds,
who waited for 5 years,
who kept and keeping on paying additional money,
who sees recently announced projects already started getting developed,

Finally i want DHAI fulfilling its commitments and obligation.

Looking forward for an appropriate compensation on above excessively paid Land and Development charges and suitable allocation of the plot (Ccorner plot on main Boulevard) within OVERSEAS SECTOR .


As confimed by you in attached mail letter development of Overseas sector by mid-2010 will be some relief for its customers.


Submitted for your kind consideration.


Sincerely,


CHAUDHRY ZULFIQAR ALI
U.A.E.


Dear DHAI Management,

Below herewith, please find my solemn concerns on Development and Land charges. Relevant mails sent previously by the undersigned on the subjected issue dated 11-Dec-2005 and later may kindly be referred as well.

I seek Fair dealing and kind support from DHAI on this issue please.

It may considrately be noted that I had purchased one kanal plot # 11 in village-1 of overseas sector - DHAI, after making a one shot payment of over 4 million pak rupees in MAY-2005.

We were informed that overseas sector will be developed in 2 - 1/2 to 3 years time. However as of today one could not find any significant development on the site.

With great concern it is pointed out that same plots were later offered in less than 2 million pak rupees and that too on installments. After well aware people got benifitted from this cheaply offered and gifted price, the charges were later enhanced to US$ 85,000.

Consequently what happens,
I was shocked when huge number of plots were put on resale in the overseas sector web site, reason is obvious.

Subsequently a schedule citing development charges of 600,000 PKRS. came into picture.
Development charges were scheduled to be paid in equally distributed quarterly installments of 50,000 PKRS each.
Therefore I started making payments for development installments and had paid 4 installments of 50,000 PKRs. each, making a total of 200,000 PRs, besides payment of US 500$ on top of installments.

More than 2 years later it was further communicated to me that development charges are enhanced from 600,000 PKRs to US$ 16,500 (making an increase of more than 100%) and that there is a new development charges schedule planned for the same.

Taking into account that I had already made above cited significant portion of development charges (200,000) in Pk.Rs. therefore such an overwhelming increase in development charges and also changing the currency to US$ in the middle stage and without proper justification appeared very disturbing and inadequate.


This painful life story does not finish here.

Besides above cited concerns and facts, following queries would always struck a person's mind who has experienced a real uncomfortable business partnership with DHAI.

1. 1 Kanal plot initially priced for around 4.4 million PKRS. in early Yr-2005.

2. Shortly afterward prices diminished to less than 2 million PKRS. (a reduction of
over 50% ).

3. Shows that well aware people got benifitted with this greatly reduced, gifted price.

4. Months later Development charges schedule of 600,000 PKRS. came into scene.

5. Soon after prices again enhanced to US$ 85,000 (an increment of over 150%)

6. Soon after Development schedule payments greatly enhanced to US$ 16,500 and
also currency changed from PKRS. to US$.

7. Shokingly web site became loaded with plots offered for resale.

8. Development was committed by DHAI management in 2-1/2 to 3 years time, However
as of today there is not a single road could be found.

This painful life story does not finish here.

These days one would be compelled to think,

* Amount of over 4 million PKRS. paid in May-2005 holds what value today

* 50% of the money were lost straight away when DHAI reduced the prices to
less than 2 million PKRS.

* Loss was further mounted when 600,000 PKRS. development schedule introduced.

* Loss was further mounted up when development charges enhanced to US$ 16,500

* Loss is keeping piled up since till date there is no significant development seen at site.

* Loss is further accumulating when recently announced projects were offered on much
cheaper rates and with no development charges scheduled for them.

* Loss is keeping accumulating, since DHAI already started developing projects
announced just recently.

Had this amount been invested in some other project or in overseas, it could have easily yielded good fruits, not only in terms of profit but also in fulfilling the commitment.

Let us accept that DHAI is in a professional business and its customers hold key importance in its current and future ventures. While across the globe organizations are equipped with highly skilled individuals when it comes to attracting customers for such kind of businesses or for that matter any kind of professional business.
Customers on the other hand also enjoy the partnership with such professional establishments as long as they hold customer care, quality and commitments on top priority. I am hopeful that DHAI is potentially such esteemed and professional entity.


Looking forward for an appropriate compensation on above excessively paid Land and Development charges and suitable allocation of the plot please.


Submitted for your kind consideration.


Sincerely,


CHAUDHRY ZULFIQAR ALI

I invested in DHA PH 2 Oversease sector with this trust that I am investing in project which is running by a professional organisation, my investment is secured & after 3 years as commetted I will be able to construct my dreamed home.

Unfortunatly after few months & personaly site visit I found that something is wrong . And same thing happened which I observed. I have no news about the development. I purchase 2 plot @ US$.85,000/-& already paid 76,000/- US$. With this amount I can purchase ready to transfer 2 plot in an other developed area.

DHA management as a good faith & considering their repute & name reduce the price according to the market situation , reschedule the instalment plan & give the actual completition time for handing over the plot. The policy only collecting of money from investor is not good .One day we all have to reply infront of Allah & we cannot save our skin with our claverness.

Other wise if this project is held for long time, should be refund the amount. Extra cost in shape of interest is already paid to the banks.

If there are any steps already taken by management pl. inform me.
Thanks
