Built in 1985, the Quanjiafu Community on Wolong Street was a 5-story walk-up apartment typically seen in Taipei. The buildings were found to contain high concentrations of chloride ions after the concrete started spalling and steel bars corroded. Regulations made it difficult for owners to retain the same area in the reconstructed apartments. Several construction companies declined to take on their case due to negotiation failures and the recession. After seeing reports on the Ruentex Twin Stars, the community committee contacted us for reconstruction even though Ruentex was not the original builder.
