To get technical input from Campus Development for your planning and budgetary purposes on capital upgrades such as: renovations, furniture reconfigurations, employee moves, or any other proposed changes to VIU's buildings, systems, or grounds, please complete and submit a Request for Consult Form.

What is a “Request for Consult”?

• This is a service we offer for initiatives that are supported "in principle" by your department head.
• The engagement typically involves a few conversations with someone from our Projects Team to review the needs, objectives, goals and proposed location.  It typically involves a minor assessment of the proposed scope and a high-level response in memo format, including an approximate estimate.

Having trouble opening the form?   The form is actually a MS Outlook email template.  Try saving the link/file to your computer and open it directly from Outlook.

To engage with us on a self-funded capital upgrade that is approved in your budget, such as: renovations, furniture reconfigurations, employee moves, or any other proposed changes to VIU's buildings, systems, or grounds, please complete and submit a Project Request Form.

What is a “Project Request”?

• A Project Request is for work that requires planning & coordination because it is multi-disciplinary nature, usually involves a longer timeline (eg: weeks vs days), and is higher in value.  It is work that needs a Project Manager to help lead and coordinate objectives, scope, schedule, budget, stakeholders and communications.  If that is not the nature of your request, please visit Facilities Services to submit a Service Request.
• A Service Request is a task-focused repair or installation, usually involves a shorter timeframe (days vs weeks), and is lower in value than a project.  It is work that can usually be provided using Facilities Services Trades staff, or that involves a single trade provider (eg: Electrician, HVAC Tech, Building Maintenance Worker, Groundskeeper).
