Project Initiation

All construction, reconstruction, improvement, enlargement, alteration, painting and decorating, or major repair to existing facilities on campus requires a Project Request Form before work on a project may begin. When you see a need for improvements to a building, you may initiate the process by completing the Project Request Form, obtaining all required signatures, indicating the funding source and funds available, and submitting the Project Request Form to Planning, Design, and Construction.

The required signatures include your Department Head or Supervisor, your Dean or Director and your Vice President or Provost. These signatures indicate that the funding source is available and may be used for the project you are requesting.

If you require that an estimate be provided and approved prior to commencement of the work, you may submit a Project Request Form to include all required signatures and a note within the request that an estimate should be provided prior to proceeding. Planning, Design and Construction will obtain a project budget approval from the funding source approver prior to proceeding.

When the properly completed Project Request Form is received in the Planning, Design and Construction department, the supervisor will assign the project to a Project Manager. The Project Manager will contact you to assess your needs, determine the scope of work, resolve scheduling needs and work with you to achieve your goals. The Project Manager will be responsible for complying with applicable laws, building codes, standards, regulations, labor agreements, and overseeing the entire project until it is complete.
