About Us
The Institute for Leadership in Capital Projects (I-LinCP) is a non-profit organization currently serving the Texas region to better the capital projects industry.
Through education, research and development and collaboration, the Institute for Leadership in Capital Projects (I-LinCP) is a catalyst and change agent in the capital projects industry.
We couple supporting industry leaders with bringing solutions to improve the planning, design, delivery, and operations of capital projects.
A capital project is a large-scale, long-term investment to build, improve, or add to a capital asset. Capital projects are often expensive and require a lot of planning and resources to complete. They can include new construction, renovations, landscape projects, and infrastructure projects.
Capital projects are usually funded by sources specifically set aside for capital purposes, such as proceeds of bond sales, long-term financing contracts, and other dedicated revenues.
Costs for ordinary repair and routine maintenance work necessary to keep a facility or asset in useful condition for its function and occupants are typically included in the operating budget and not the capital budget.
