Week 1 - Site Start

I received a call from our builder that survey pegs are missing and they cannot start construction without these. I went to the block and confirmed that the survey pegs were indeed missing because the developer erected fencing at the back of our block and their contractor removed the pegs.

The builder quoted me $900.00 (ouch!) bucks for them to organise the re-establishment survey. We have no choice but to let them organise the re-survey because if we miss the site start date, which is 31st of August, we need to pay an additional $1,500.00 for the materials price increase. So I sent an email to our builder and instructed them to go ahead with the re-survey.

Now here's a long shot, I will now contact the developer of the Estate and ask them for a reimbursement because the pegs were misplaced due to their fencing. I know it's a remote possibility that they will pay me for this, but $900 bucks is worth a try!
