Get a metal cutter and cut off the chain. Then tell the contractor he should pay his own workers. Its his own business. None of yours.

This things right, better sack off the main contractor. You will only get more problem. Better ask him to leave once he finished the projects. For example, if he's doing the kitchen, ask him to finish the kitchen and can leave edi. Don't leave the work unfinished. Rest of the work that has not started can cancel.

From the legal point of view, in the absence of a written contract, the industry norm prevails - in this case, the PAM Form of contract. That is, if there is a dispute which goes to court.  You can check this with a lawyer.

Does this include renovation? The stupid contractor says it only applies to building constructions, not renovations

You assume that for individual renovation work the condition is as dictated by the contractor.  A project, no matter how minor, is a project. There is no separate form of contract for small jobs.

In practice, the terms for small jobs are mostly one-sided, given by the contractor, written on one piece of paper and are mostly based on trust.  This does not mean that it is the legal way of doing things.

From the legal point of view, in the absence of a written contract, the industry norm prevails - in this case, the PAM Form of contract. That is, if there is a dispute which goes to court.  You can check this with a lawyer.

Of course, in reality, contractors be rough people and may resort to brute force (even using threats) if they don't get what they want. Now, that is a different matter.

Well from now on no matter consumer or contractor shall follow the accurate trade as mentioning above. Any ongoing jobs & for future jobs such as renovation, refurbishment and so on needed CIDB licenses (class A,B,C,D,E) which is consumer required to look for those contractor with such license only allowed to take up jobs. Meaning ther is no more 'Oparloh' price as the client needed to pay more to have that kind of security. To do list runner,application involving goverment authority,money,times,procedure,firm and etc.thus 2000 over 'Oparloh' out there can tapau. Because our brother here emphasizing in money to get maximum security. BTW i agreed as you mention,

I would assume you are rich and is not making sense to have this for those medium class spender or budget tight. And sumhow those so call 'oparloh' vanish in this very market.Meaning rich only can have all this...

To own mercedes but paying with proton price,make sense?I believed in this very forum is sorting out the best solutions which is contribution idea is making sense and depending on the class of consumer.

Thanks tehtmc.

The funny part is that not the contractor that wants to lock my gate. My contractor told me that his Aluminium guy (his sub contractor) wants to lock cos I have not paid my contractor and he has not paid his sub contractor.
