Project Scope and Specifications

The physical changes are concentrated on safety and accessibility features for the endoscopy suite. The addition of lead shielding to three rooms indicates a focus on radiation protection, likely related to imaging or diagnostic procedures performed in that area. The installation of power operators with push plates on the doors leading into these rooms addresses accessibility requirements by ensuring these doors can be operated with minimal effort. The scope is limited to these 1,380 sq ft, distinguishing it from larger structural expansions. The cost per square foot of $543 reflects the specialized nature of the materials and labor required for medical-grade shielding and automated door systems.

In the context of Collin County renovation filings, this project’s estimated cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter of similar projects. The scheduled build window of 91 days is close to the county median of 92 days for comparable renovation and alteration work. The high cost per square foot compared to the county median of $78 is consistent with the specialized medical equipment and safety modifications involved in endoscopy suite renovations.
