Do I need to engage a Qualified Person (QP) for my Dormitory Transition Scheme (DTS) application, and can these professional fees be funded?

While not compulsory for the DTS grant application, you should consult QPs to discuss your retrofitting plans such as the extent of works required and time needed to complete the works. You may also need to engage a QP when you commence retrofitting works. The DTS grant does not cover the professional fees charged by QPs.
