CHM - Practical Completion

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item is allocated under the Capital - Home Modifications category. The line item 06_182495321_0111_2_2 is designated for the Practical Completion payment stage of a major Home Modification (HM) building contract.

Practical Completion marks the point where the building works are substantially finished, and the premises are fit for the participant's use, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. This is one of the final scheduled payments to the building contractor.

The payment against this line item is typically triggered upon:

Substantial Completion: The builder certifies that the works are complete, except for minor defects or omissions.

Inspection and Certification: An official inspection (often by the Project Manager or Allied Health Professional) confirms the accessible features meet the required standards and are safe for use.

Handover: The builder formally hands the modified property back to the participant.

A small retention amount may be withheld under the contract to cover the Final Completion stage (rectification of minor defects during the maintenance period), but the majority of the remaining funds are paid at Practical Completion. This support is crucial for finalising the building contract and completing the approved modifications that enhance the participant's independence and access to their home. This item falls under NDIS Registration Group 0111: Home Modification Design and Construction.
