Step 1: 

All new construction and renovation projects must be requested through the Construction Management team.  Contact Johnny McElroy, Associate Director of Construction, to begin the process.

Once the project has been authorized, the team will schedule the initial project scope meeting to complete preliminary schematic drawings and opinion of construction cost estimate. If the project is large enough will be contracted out to a Design Professional for design services.

Step 3: 

The project will be submitted to the Vice President of Operations with the construction cost estimate for final approval. The VP will evaluate the construction estimate with the source of funding to determine final approval.
