Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 08, 2018 5:37 pm Hi, We are doing a kdr in Sydney with Clarendon. We paid our 1.5k fee for surveying and soil test. We have also signed some sales documents, in relation to which house we want, which facade, ceiling height etc. However my question in, the sales consultant wants us to initial each page on the initial tender estimate that's been put together so far. Is this normal practice? It seems odd to me, as putting our initials on each page is not much different to signing the tender. Could someone who has gone through the process with Clarendon, please let us know, was this your experience? The tender appointment is some time away, so I am unsure why we need to sort of agree to the initial estimates now. Thanks Re: Initialize the tender estimate before tender presentatio 2Feb 08, 2018 8:06 pm Every builder makes you do this, i would hold of on signing anything until you are happy with the tender and final costing and have included everything you want in your build because as soon as you sign this they have you hooked in and any variation can include some serious fees. My advice look over the contract 100 times before signing anything.

Sometimes the final documents have errors but if you have initialled copies you have proof of the original discussions I have heard of people not getting what they have wanted and then find the sales agent gone and there is no proof.
