Yes we had our own surveyor working for us. Moorings worked with our surveyor very well. Even when they pulled her out of the water. Our surveyor inspected everything and they took care of all our concerns. They took care of everything our surveyor and insurance company wanted. I would never do this without my own surveyor. The key is having a surveyor you can trust and depend on. Moorings was wonderful in working with us to insure when we took possession everything was addressed. It was a long process but worked out great for us.
