Project Scope and Design
Registered with TDLR in November 2019, this new building was designed by Pgal to consolidate multiple judicial and administrative functions into a single structure. The estimated cost of $8,000,000 reflects a comprehensive build-out that includes distinct spaces for various county officials.

The estimated cost per square foot is $186, which is above the county median of $120 for projects of this type. These figures place the project in the top quarter of estimated costs among 76 TDLR-registered new construction filings in Grimes County.
