This Building Review Board reviews plans and specifications for all new construction and major renovations and repairs in diocesan facilities, parishes and schools.
While not mandated at the very beginning of planning for a project of capital improvements, the diocesan Building Review Board should be consulted. Such a consultation will assit the board in its eventual advisory capacity and should minimize the possibility for delays later.
The pre-design and schematic design phases of building are to be carried out in compliance with diocesan law. Extensive consultation and review by the pastor (and principal and the local Building Committee) is recommended. If the total cost of the project exceeds $500,000.00 the schematic plans must be reviewed by the diocesan Building Review Board.
The design plans, after review on the local level, must be reviewed by the diocesan Building Review Board. This board then advises the local Ordinary, who must give his approval before the final plans and specifications (construction documents) are prepared.
Current members of the Building Review Board include:
Daniel Calongne, Matt Daigrepont, Tommie Cockfield, Fr. Randy Cuevas, Gerald Hebert, Henry Eyre, Fr. Michael Moroney, Charles Perrault.
