The Office of Property & Construction is the primary liaison between parishes and the diocesan Building and Real Estate Commission, the body that reviews and recommends approval to the Bishop for major construction projects, renovations and land purchases and sales. The office also provides direct consultative services on much smaller projects, such as re-roofing work. Construction and cost information from prior diocesan projects is available for reference, as is information on architects, consultants and general contractors. Drawings and contracts are reviewed prior to being executed on behalf of the parish.
