Design & Construction Services accompanies, guides, and supports our parishes during new construction and renovation projects.
Successful construction projects require close collaboration between the parish, Diocesan Office of Design & Construction Services, the Office of Finance, and often The Catholic Foundation of Central Florida. Projects begin by evaluating needs, defining the scope of work, creating schematic designs and detailed drawings, permitting, bidding, and construction. These major steps are detailed below:
Phase I: Project Initiation
Evaluation of the entity’s needs and funding source(s). Solicit proposals from pre-approved design professionals to create initial programming and design. Click here for more details.
