Project Approvals and Requests

Capital Improvement

If a project's total budget is less than $3.5 million, or if the project is less than $500,000 of new space, or if it's an infrastructure upgrade with a budget of less than $7.5M, it's an improvement project. Any roofing, paving, hazmat, remodel, or even a new project that meets these criteria falls into this category. Work includes civil, utility, parks, courts, jails, armories, schools, general, mechanical, and electrical.

VS

Capital Development

Conversely, if a project's total budget exceeds $3.5 million, or if it adds more than $500,000 in new space, or if it's an infrastructure project with a budget greater than $7.5M, it's a capital development project. Most remodels and new construction projects fall into this category and include schools, courthouses, prisons, health clinics, office buildings, laboratories, research facilities, and parks.

New DFCM Pay Application

We recently redesigned our pay application and added some new functionality that should make managing construction projects easier. Updates include a built-in instructional video, a new schedule of values, a PCO log and the ability to auto-generate change orders directly from the pay app file. Any new DFCM projects should use this updated file.
