Construction Permits are Complete!
We now have an estimated construction schedule that will return the clubhouse to our use about December, 2019.
On March 14, 2019, the Centreville Farms Community Association (CFCA) Board received word that our final construction permit requests have been reviewed and approved. This process has taken many months!
This means that our restoration partner and General Contractor, Paul Davis Reconstruction, can begin construction.
We met with them on March 15, 2019 to discuss the schedule of events for the construction phase of the project. Early estimates are that the project will end in late November. Weather and unplanned events could adversely affect this estimate! For this reason we are expecting to have access to the rebuilt clubhouse in December.
For this reason we will not open the pool for the summer of 2019.

Clubhouse Rebuild Updates
September 2018
The CFCA Board of Directors has been very busy with the clubhouse rebuild, it is not a simple process.
As of September 15, 2018:
- Funding Gap closed with our insurer, more than $1m funding has been secured to cover rebuild costs. At this point in the project the CFCA board has identified no present need for any special assessments to the community.
- Rebuild cost estimates, line items and task areas have been identified, planned with our General Contractor. Architectural drawings and plans are better than 75% complete. These are essential for the construction permit process.
- Demolition orders have been given to our general contractor, Paul Davis Restoration of Northern Virginia (PDR). As of 9/14/2018, that permit is being processed by Fairfax county. This permit that ensures safety for workers conducting the demolition.
- Approximately 800 linear feet of fencing will be installed week of 9/17/2018.
- Demolition will be conducted once fencing is installed and the demolition permit is received.
- Expect the demolition to take about one calendar week to complete.
- Residents will have two days after the fencing installation to vacate the enclosed section of the parking lot. Vehicles remaining in the enclosed section of the clubhouse parking lot will be towed at owners’ expense.
Next Steps
Construction contract negotiations are in their final phases. An important, high priority goal for this month is to get the construction contract signed. Funding to start this work is immediately available.
The intent of the build project is to be ready around May first, 2019. This is not guaranteed because many factors are out of our control. The CFCA board and our builder are keeping this target completion date in focus.
Key risks to the build timeline include:
1. Build permits are needed by Oct/Nov at the latest to meet schedules.
2. The concrete slab needs to be largely intact and reusable. This will be assessed in the October timeframe, after demolition is completed.
3. Winter weather may have an adverse impact on the project
We will continue to provide updates on this, the community web site.
Neighborhood Projects
The FHA Board has approved the building of brick pillars throughout the community that the builder failed to provide in 2003. The pillars will be built this fall. Locations include: Matthews Vista/Arrowhead Park, Wisteria Arbor/Arrowhead Park, Joseph Johnston/Calamint, Granite Step/Centreville Farms, Stargazer Terrace/Centreville Farms, and Centreville Farms/Leland Rd.
The Cyclones Swim Team has adopted Leland Road. See NEWS, below for more information.
Community Reminders
Bus Stops - Parents please walk your children to the bus stop. There are too many cars collecting around the bus stops in the morning and afternoons. We haven't heard of any accidents, and we want to keep it that way!
Pet Waste- Please pick up after your pets! There has been an increase in complaints regarding residents not picking up their pet's waste. Fairfax County's "Pooper Scooper" Law states, "It shall be unlawful for the owner of any animal or animals to keep such animal or animals in such a manner as to cause unsanitary conditions. The owner or custodian of any dog shall be responsible for the removal of excreta deposited by such dog on the property of another, including public places." Fairfax County will fine pet owners up to $250 for failure to comply with this law. The Association can also impose fines for failure to abide per the Association's Pet Policy.
