Temporary Parking in Houston, TX

Fort Bend Independent School District has registered a temporary parking renovation at Colony Bend Elementary School, located at 9800 Richmond Ave in Houston. The project, filed under the name Temporary Parking, involves providing crushed concrete for a 13,721 sq ft lot. The estimated cost for this renovation is $142,281, which works out to $10 per square foot. This specific scope of work is distinct from the broader educational facility, focusing solely on surface preparation for vehicle storage.

The project was registered with TDLR in July 2026 with a target completion of August 2026; no plan review or inspection has been recorded since, so whether it proceeded is not confirmed in the public record. The filing indicates a construction start date of July 2026 and a completion date of August 2026. Because the scheduled build window is only seven days, the work is designed to be rapid and efficient, consistent with the nature of temporary surface improvements rather than structural alterations.
