If you choose to construct your own project, the project is on your own time, like any other DIY home improvement project. You cannot expense your own labour.
If you or a family member have a registered business license that does landscaping, hardscaping, or building and has the appropriate skill set to build an LID feature. This requires a quote that must be pre-approved by Green Venture if you or a family member are building the LID project. All work done by contractors must include detailed receipts. It is at Green Venture’s discretion to determine whether payments made to your own or a family member’s company for labour are eligible.
To assess eligibility, at a minimum a company must meet the following requirements:
- Hold a valid registered business license
- Have a publicly available relevant portfolio of work (e.g., website or social media page)
- Possess an applicable accreditation or certification required for LID installation
