there is an
"easy fit" ... then hire the surveyor ... if not don't haggle ... move
on.
Survey arrangements are your responsibility. If they go smoothly then your final cost will be less than if the boat is not ready for Survey and you request that we wait while repairs or preparations are made. We do allow some time to "trouble shoot" why items are not working and while we are quite capable of discovery, your quoted survey fee was based on a finite amount of time allocated to "discovery". Upon completion of the survey, you will be given a written "punch list" of "preliminary findings" and a verbal debriefing which highlights the findings. Note: Your payment is
required before written report(s) are released.

Reports are sent electronically as Adobe Acrobat PDF
attachments by email ... We understand if your planning is such that you are
in a hurry for the final
report ....
kindly let us know this before the survey and we will respond to your needs ... and yes ... there is an additional fee for expediting the written report process.
