I totally agree with you on each statement you had written here. These words are to be engraved on all Reno related websites, so that there aren't any more victims of such cheap, unlawful person. I wish he be dealt by law for all the unlawful things and cons he had done. Let me know if you need any support, I can fully understand the frustration you might be going through and that conman happily stays a peaceful life in his condominium.

Yes, their MD Louis Chia is an unethical conman. Conned us into signing a wolly wolly contract for A and A works to our house. The contract was lacking in details on the materials to be used, and the payment schedule also requested for payment for almost half of the contract price until the point of demolition of the old structure, but without any actual works done yet. Was defensive when we probed him for more details on the bill of quantities and the details of actual works to be done. Was also unprofessional in his interactions with us, accusing us of trying to delay when all we wanted was to get more clarity on the details of the works. He is now under investigation by the authorities for various violations. We have also taken legal action to terminate his contract. Unfortunately, we are not optimistic of getting back the 5 figure deposit he has conned us of unless we take him to court. And we got to find out from a friend only later on that Louis Chia owed our friend money for a few projects that he had engaged my friend to carry out, and in the end refused to pay. If only we had found out earlier, we wouldnt have engaged Archetype to do our house. Archetype might very well have closed down by now, but Louis Chia, the MD, might just reappear when all the dust has settled, to open another company under another name.(remember Jover Chew?) So to all looking for a reno or homebuilder, or an interior design firm, beware of this douchebag Louis Chia. Dun be conned by him!

Support from the other thread! I thought nobody met as many IDs/contractors as I did... but you're really hardcore! Lol
