Completion
Stage 6: Completion
Once the Contractor has completed the work they will ask you to sign to say you are satisfied. A HIO will then arrange an inspection of the work to ensure that it has been completed in line with the approved plans and that it is of an acceptable standard. If you have a contribution to pay, you must pay this directly to the Contractor, before the Council will release the grant payment
The payment will not be made to the Contractor until both you and the Home Improvement Officer are happy with the standard of the work. If there is a Building Regulations application the Building Control Officer will also need to carry out a completion inspection.
The Contractor should send all paperwork (invoices, certificates, instruction booklets, etc.) directly to you.
The Council will make payment directly to the Contractor once the work has been inspected and all necessary documentation received.
