FBC Rockwall, Interior Classroom Renovation

The First Baptist Church in Rockwall is undertaking an interior renovation at its 610 S. Goliad facility, a project filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as FBC Rockwall, Interior Classroom Renovation. The scope of work covers the renovation of four classrooms and the associated corridor, totaling 2,075 square feet of interior space within the existing building structure.

Registered in April 2025, this renovation and alteration project carries an estimated cost of $125,000. This figure works out to $60 per square foot, a cost point that sits below the county median of $90 per square foot for similar TDLR-registered renovation filings in Rockwall County. The total estimated cost is also below the county median of $239,000 for this project type, reflecting a focused, interior-only scope rather than a full structural build-out.

Project Scope and Design

HH Architects, Inc. is the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Jeffrey A Gutknecht. The work is privately funded on private land for private use, specifically for the First Baptist Church Rockwall. The church has one other TDLR-registered project totaling $7,426,000, indicating this classroom renovation is a smaller, distinct initiative within their broader development activities in the area.

The scheduled build window for this project was 92 days, starting in April 2025 with a planned completion in July 2025. This timeline is close to the county median of 90 days for comparable renovation and alteration filings.

Current Status and Record

TDLR completed plan review in April 2025, and the filing status is marked as Review Complete. Although the scheduled completion date of July 2025 has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record, and no official closure or completion certificate is available in the TDLR database for this specific filing.

The project is part of a broader pattern of construction activity in Rockwall, where 122 renovation or alteration projects have been registered in the last 24 months. This specific classroom renovation fits within the local median size of 3,083 square feet, being slightly smaller at 2,075 square feet, which aligns with the targeted nature of the interior updates described in the filing.
