    Update 27/04: Surveyor Locked In!

    So got another 4 or 5 quotes back today and I’m going to be going with a great local Penrith Firm Richard Hogan Surveyors. They have a good reputation, they were able to do the survey 8am this weds (which is a miracle considering every other surveyor couldn’t do it for 3 weeks!), and their service is excellent. I gave their initial quote to my architect who wanted some extra things added in and they did so quickly and cheaply only adding another $50 to the quote:

    Detail Survey $1050
    Set Out Survey $660
    Final Identification Survey $385
    Total for the whole project: $2095

    I was quoted from a Granny Flat Builder $1800 just for the detail survey:) so already we are saving big time!

    New Update: Surveyors

    I rang around a whole stack of very reputable Surevyors and I’ll have to say they were all excellent in trying to be accomodating and helpful. The prices I got quoted though were quite different. At the moment things are pretty crazy for Sureveyors though and it will usually take 2-3 weeks to get one out.

    The price you should be expecting to pay for:
    1. Site/detail Survey $1000
    2. Set Out or Peg Out Survey $500
    3. Final Inspection Survey $400

    But as an owner builder you only really need to concern yourself with the Detail Survey. If you can get your Detail Survey done then you can hand that to your architect or draftperson so you can get on to the next part which is the actual Plans/Floor plan and design of your Granny Flat.

    Anything I’ve missed or info you’d like me to include? Then let me know:)

    Hey DT

    No they don’t, but I have a line of credit.

    Hey Brazen, do you still know if this is the case with a GF built in Penrith?
