The local authority has responsibility for the detailed administration of the Defective Concrete Blocks Grant scheme. This includes the assessment of applications for eligibility and payment of grants to successful applicants under the specific remediation option approved. 

Where a local authority has approved a homeowner for grant assistance under the scheme the responsibility for engaging a supervising engineer and a contractor to complete the qualifying works rests solely with the applicant.
