@ Lovehouse... "By surveyor do you mean the person who does construction certificate?" A building surveyor in Victoria is the equivalent of a certifier ( PCA ) in NSW and yes like the council, they are the ones who issue the CC. Stewie Got it! Thanks for explaining

Hi, i am sorry you had bad experience with tender. I think it depends on the sales assistant you are working with. We were lucky to have Helena to work with and she is the head of all of their SA’s. She was wonderful and amazingly accurate. She was the main reason we went with Fowler. So far we have...

p.s @lovehouse what layout did you decide on ? The process have been very well so far. The selection appointments are taking a bit of time, specially to get the variation quotes done.
