Benefits Of Using Our Church Design Services.

• You can save 50% to 60% on Church Plan Design Fees, even with design customizations.
  
  
• Determine the cost to build your church before you spend tens of thousands of dollars in custom designed plans, only to learn you cannot afford to build them.
  
  
• We can Financially Pre-Qualify and Establish Funding for your Ministry Construction Project before you start the design or building process. This can save you tens of thousand of dollars and hundreds of hours of un-funded planning.
  
  
• A picture is worth a thousand words. Our concept drawings are great tools for communication. Here are a few of the areas where good concept drawings will aid the process:
  
  
• Providing vision to the church and building committee. If you need plans to stimulate thinking or excitement for your building committee, these plans can be a great catalyst for moving the project forward.
  
  
• Providing a catalyst for design discussion. The concept document gives your church a good starting point to discuss the needs of the church, what they like and need and what they don't.
  
  
• Provides a "drawing pad" on which the church can sketch modifications for communicating to the architect.
  
  
• Capital Stewardship Campaigns. A good church floor plan can help communicate the vision of the future church and is a great way to help raise excitement and financial support for a building program.
  
  
• If you need conceptual plans for your church's capital campaign, you will save thousands of dollars by not having to pay someone to provide concept drawings for your promotional materials.
  
  
• Begin preliminary discussions with planning departments to discuss the project using real plans to discover any potential issues early in the process - not later when it is more expensive!
  
  
• Request competitive bids from contractors early in the process. This is a huge benefit to the church. Usually churches must go all the way through the design process and spend ten’s of thousands of dollars on drawings before getting a construction bid price. Unfortunately, what happens at least 3 times out of 4 is that the construction bid comes back much higher than the estimate. Churches then have to pay the architect to redesign their plans to bring the construction cost estimate down to budget. Using our unmodified church plans, your can get a very accurate idea of the cost per square foot to actually build. Since the changes to the stock plan don't usually significantly change the construction price, your church can proceed forward with the project knowing what the real cost will be to build (not guess or estimate).
  
  
• Save Time.  By having working drawings that are probably 90% or more like what you are going to build, you can begin the process of evaluating bids and selecting a contractor or design/build firm much earlier in the process. This is especially important if you are trying to fast track a building program.

A Few Facts About Our Service.

Our Architectural Design Partner has been designing church buildings for over 30 years and has completed over 1,000 projects to date. By reusing previously designed plans, your church can save the initial cost of the plan’s creation, thus saving thousands of dollars on architectural design fees.

For example. Your church is looking to build a 10,000 square foot facility that will cost on average about $100.00 a square foot. Typically, architectural fees for designing church plans can cost 7% to 12%, (sometimes higher) of the final building costs. Your church would normally incur a cost of $70,000 to $120,000 using a typical architectural service. Using a pre-designed building plan, modified to your needs and local building codes would run between $30,000 to $40,000, saving your ministry $40,000 to $80,000.

We will customize the church plan to meet the needs of your ministry your building codes and your geographical zones. Often building exteriors are changed to match existing buildings. Our architects attend site observation inspections if required for construction. All of our church plans will meet the standards of the American Disabilities Act. Some of the church plans can be mirrored to double the building size with minimum changes to the building.
