  • Assisting parishes through the capital project approval process (CPI process),

  • Supporting parishes as they inspect and maintain their physical facilities,

  • Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations in addition to resolving outstanding building code and fire code violations,

  • Assisting parishes to participate in energy savings programs and

  • Providing technical assistance to the Real Estate Department and Risk Manager during major loss claims.
