Hi Sifu sekalian,

Need ask your opinions. TLDR,

1. We paid almost RM300,000 for a renovation project for a business
2. Contractor only completed 65% and give a lot of reasons, keep on cannot deliver
3. The contractor deducted RM50,000 for the incomplete works and then subsequently add another RM180,000 for different charges as new VO
4. Funny thing is, previous 'FOC' item suddenly claimed, because he keep argue he didn't earn profit from this project, despite all quotations signed initially.
5. Claiming we still owe them RM130,000 (RM180,000 Extras - RM50,000 undelivered works) despites all the shitty works delivered
6. Electricity all substandard, we need to rework on alot of things

Long story short, lesson learnt. But what should we do now?

Please don't ask where, why so stupid etc. Just too long story that will affect your day and mood. Admittedly, we cant believe we in this situation too.

Update 22/2:
1. They still continuously demand RM130,000 payment.
2. Just to clarify, for example painting works RM50,000 (Part of the RM300,000) in the original quotation, after things cannot delivered, they come to us and say actually painting works is RM120,000 .. you still owe RM70,000 extra works.. thats why it jack up a new bill of RM180,000.
3. Current new contractor including electricity and cover unfinished parts around RM100,000+.
4. We will report polis to cover and proceed with lawyer next week.

Update 23/2:
1. Pulis ask go for commercial crime as well, but honestly they so friendly la - ask us dont worry etc. Done.
2. Legal should be tomorrow
3. Contractor ask to settle peacefully

Need to put all this down so everyone will not be a victim like us anymore. Thank you!

C M or orangputeh or orang alien also got good or cheating type.

So now what should i do? Sue them or not.

Yes, thats a big lesson. But we definitely take legal action to ensure no further victim.

No sign anything, the contractor now threatened to demolish everything next week if not paid today.

Nothing to settle with us actually, i think they have no money as their suppliers come to us ask for payment.
