Anderson-Shiro CISD JR. High Roof Renovation

The Anderson-Shiro CISD completed a $2,100,000 roof renovation on the current elementary school, which is also designated as the future junior high. Located at 458 FM 149 West in Anderson, the project involved the renovation of 52,440 square feet of roof space. This work falls under a Renovation/Alteration filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).

The construction schedule ran from March 2026 to August 2026, totaling 183 days. This build window is close to the county median of 190 days for similar renovation projects in Grimes County. The estimated cost of $2,100,000 places the project above the county median of $736,513 for comparable filings, although the cost per square foot of $40 remains below the county median of $101.

Project Administration and Design

GLS is listed as the design firm of record for this facility renovation. Phillip Bertram Chapman served as the registered accessibility specialist for the TDLR review process. The project was registered in February 2026 and involved public funds, as indicated in the official filing documents.

TDLR closed the project file in May 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This status indicates that the regulatory oversight for the specific scope of work has been finalized. Anderson-Shiro CISD holds one other TDLR-registered project in the area, valued at $38,000,000, which has completed its review. The design firm, GLS, has been involved in six other registered projects across Texas, including facilities in Livingston, Lufkin, and Wills Point.
