    Generally the builder has someone they work with. Anything out of the ordinary in this case?

    Would try to go with the one the builder works with. From my experience it generally works out better.

    The selection of the certifier lies with you, they are your backstop not the builder's backside protector. You want one who is working in your interests not the builder.

    I know what you mean but I think its equally important to work with a certifier who isn't as horrible as council is. Most arent gonna pass crappy work but its also nice if they work well with the builder.

    Cheapest fee proposal I've gotten at work came from this guy:

    Office Address: 5 Aird Street Parramatta (Parramatta Business Centre)

    Postal Address: Suite 49, Level 2, No 2 O’Connell Street Parramatta NSW 2150

    Haven't worked through a project with him yet.

    Otherwise have used Peter Boyce, Anthony Protas, both good.

    So that's why he's always asking me to give measurements in Imperial (I kid, I kid!)
