Sorry for yr predicament.

No one agency is the "proper" body to deal with disputes b/w owners and contractors. There is RADAC, Small Claims Tribunal, CASE, and the various licensing bodies e.g. HDB, BCA, EMA etc.

I don't know if RADAC is appropriate or not since I think they only get involved if the contractor is registered with them and your contract is signed on their predetermined format. Note that RADAC basically is a registry of contractors accredited by them.

Maybe writing to the appropriate agency with a complaint letter may help your case and/or make the erring contractor more sympathetic/responsive to your complaint.

Alas, all these steps involve a lot of time, effort and maybe expense.

In my view they are not effective. Because the damage has been done.

Wouldn't it be better if owners like us have our own body to look after our own interests, before we start renovation or sign on the dotted line with the id firm, or contractor?

Just a thought.
