Abstract: For small and less complex projects, the appointment of an agreed surveyor could help both building owners and adjoining owners to deal with notifiable works much more speedily and affordably. However, for more complex and contentious projects where there is potential for the process to go wrong, such an appointment may prove to be challenging to say the least. In particular, questions may be asked that may test the resolve of the agreed surveyor. Such issues may include undue inconvenience, a test to the impartiality of the agreed surveyor, in particular in relation to his or her statutory duty to uphold the Act. So, what criteria may be used to define undue inconvenience and what would be the consequences of the proposed notifiable works creating undue inconvenience for the adjoining owner?
