Ceiling Fan Placement on Vaulted Ceiling

We're building a new home and have ordered a pre-wire
for later installation of a ceiling fan. The contractor
has cut a hole at the 'V' of our vaulted ceiling to
place the fan in the center of the room. However,
we are concerned that when we try to install a ceiling
fan, we won't be able to get a professional looking
installation unless we can mount the ceiling fan flush
with the ceiling. With the pre-wire directly in the
'V', we're afraid that we won't be able to cover the
hole in the ceiling with the fan canopy. Is it
standard industry practice to install a fan from the
'V' of a vaulted ceiling? If not, what kind of special
methods would be required to use the pre-wire as is, or
should we request that it be moved down to a flat surface
on the ceiling? Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!
