Meeting No.5
On approval of the completed design, specification and quotation, we require a payment of 5% of the quotation price. This is not a deposit, but covers architectural, drafting and Council lodgement fees. We then carry out a check measure on site and produce drawings for lodgement to Council. Prior to lodging the plans we arrange for a final meeting with the Owners to go over every detail of the plans. This meeting is usually conducted in our office and runs for about 2 hours.
