The price can be a fixed fee or an hourly rate. It all depends on whether it is simply a case of facilitating the award or a more involved role in the project on behalf of the adjoining owner.

In all cases it is the building owner carrying out the work who pays the fees.

Joint Surveyor

What's included:

  • Drafting, negotiating and agreeing Award on behalf of the Building Owner and Adjoining Owner.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

Where additional work is required as a result of project related issues and concerns, we typically work on an hourly rate as such complications are often quite tricky to resolve.

This could include helping you to agree compensation for unnecessary inconvenience, agree a sum of money to be placed in a secure bank account (ESCROW) in case of unsafe or incomplete work or proving that damage has occurred and getting agreement to repair the damage or pay compensation.

You can CALL US for FREE ADVICE  about how to comply with your obligations and/or protect your interests under the Act.
