ArchiApps Pty Ltd was placed into liquidation on Wednesday afternoon, with Cameron Shaw and Richard Albarran of Hallchadwick appointed as liquidators.

The company billed itself as a "medium size building company" that "specialises in luxury houses and apartments".

The company collapsed just weeks after Building Commissioner Ken Bowron warned creditors and homeowners about the status of the builder's ability to pay off its debts.
