Date for Final Contract

Have been informed that the final contract will officially be ready for 10th March which is good news. Bad news is we go away on holiday that very day (which really is great news) so won't be able to look through the contract before we go. Our SC tells us that as we aren't making too many changes to the prelim there is a chance the final contract may arrive a few days early. If it does we can check all is present and correct, get an idea of how much we have spent up to now and sign off on it if we are satisfied. This will also mean Metricon will want a 5% deposit before lodging the building application. I wonder if that also means we get the Metricon sign erected on our block?
