Memorial Lutheran Church & School

Memorial Lutheran Church & School is the owner of record for a privately funded addition project at 5800 Westheimer Road in Houston, Texas. The filing describes the work as additions to an existing building, with a total estimated cost of $350,000. The scope includes an aluminum fence with masonry columns along a portion of the property line, three proposed sliding gates for vehicle access at existing driveways, and a minor private concrete sidewalk tie-in to the existing public sidewalk with a pedestrian gate and crosswalk striping.

PEA Group is the design firm of record, and Monica J Harris serves as the registered accessibility specialist. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in May 2026. TDLR completed plan review in June 2026, and construction was scheduled to finish in August 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

Project Scale and Cost Context

The filing lists a square footage of 40,000 sq ft, resulting in a computed cost of $9 per square foot. This figure is below the county median of $100 per square foot for similar additions to existing buildings in Harris County. The estimated cost of $350,000 is also below the Harris County median of $441,000 for this project type. The scheduled build window of 89 days is shorter than the county median of 182 days, indicating a rapid timeline for the approved work.
