We've also just been told that we need to nominate who our 'site surveyor' will be. Did you need to contract a private surveyor?
We are building with Fairhaven and were required to select a building surveyor, I believe it's a legal requirement now. We had a choice of 2 (I just selected one randomly), otherwise you could nominate your own and pay an additional $1000 admin fee.
We fixed our site costs at the quote stage so we won't have any surprises when we get to tender.
