After the work started a further eight quotations amounting to $610,000 were sent to the complainant.
Two men and a woman, aged 46 to 47, were arrested and released on bail.
The department reminded the trade to provide material information in a comprehensive, clear, intelligible and timely manner when selling interior design and renovation services.
Consumers should be prudent in selecting services.
