Developing an Elevation Construction Schedule
The following activities are a sampling of project milestones that should be included in a construction
schedule and may be monitored by DEP/HMGP Team. The project schedule should represent all phases
of the project. The start/end dates for these phases (not necessarily each of the sub-phases) should be
reflected in the construction schedule provided by the contractor, and will be revised as necessary.
Pre-Construction Phase:
•
•
Architectural/Design/Survey Work
Contractor Hired
•
•
Utilities Disconnected
Permits Obtained
•
Site Preparation
Elevation Construction Phase:
•
•
Lifting of Structure
Homeowners Temporarily Relocate
•
•

•
•

Homeowners Return to Home
Note: The applicant shall comply with Period of Performance requirements to complete all elevation
activities and submit eligible expenses in the approved format to DEP such that reimbursement may
occur within 700 days of the FEMA approval (obligation) date. Project milestones will be used to keep
the project moving forward. Failure to meet the identified timeframes may result in disqualification.
· Extensions will be considered on a case by case basis but may not result in a project schedule that will
not be reimbursed within 700 days from approval/obligation.
