MIA contractor; Advice pls!

[Mrsimmm 0]

Hi all, 

Our reno was supposed to finish by end June. Up to date contractor have only done minimal partial works, which he keep repeating are very fast to finish. Main issue is carpentry which takes few weeks yet till now we see no progress and proof of fabrication as promised. 

He had repeatedly cancelled meetings and MIA, not answerin calls/messages. Last straw was today when he finally agreed to meetup then MIA again.

Our whole family of 6 been experiencing great stress to our daily lives and finances. We really at our wits end on how to tackle this situation.

From what I've read online, SCT handles up to max 20K claims and our contract value is above  

Pls share if any have successfully sue their reno firm to complete the works/ received compensation? We are wondering if there are more victims, it seems like we aren't the first to go knocking on his doors (according to neighbour).
