The Works
Stage 5: The Works
Before work commences, particularly for complex works, the HIO may carry out a pre-site visit with you and the Contractor. At this meeting, you should be given an approximate start date and it is a good idea to ask any questions that you may have about the work at this meeting whilst the HIO and the Contractor are both in attendance.
The contract is between yourself and the contractor and you will be asked to sign a formal agreement to that effect. The Contractor will advise how long the proposed works are due to take, discuss any health and safety requirements
