Building Churches… Building Dreams.
So How Does One Actually “Build A Church?”
Building the Team- A successful build requires a dedicated team working together. Perhaps no other step in the process is as crucial to success as building the right team. We personally interview and hire a civil engineer and architect for the project. We then invite these parties to submit a proposal based on expertise and experience with similar projects. Utilizing the knowledge we gain during this process, we will submit a fact-based recommendation for both the civil engineer and the architect for your review.
Defining the Project- Once the team is complete, the Engineer, Architect, Building Committee, and Eden will begin to define the project. The team will meet and develop the programming designed specifically around the needs of the church.
A Powerful Partnership- Eden manages every stage of the process, and we hold your input and concerns in the highest priority. Our management not only assures the project stays with in scope and time, but it saves the church members a huge amount of time and effort.
Open Book, All the Time- As the architect draws the plans, we will be updating full project budgets at concept, 25%, 50%, and 100% completion. You will see all costs throughout the entire process.
Staying Local- Once the design portion of the project is completed, we implement a unique approach to selecting subcontractors to complete the build. Our goal is to utilize 95%-98% local subcontractors for every aspect of the job. We encourage you to participate in this process. We want to know local contractors that you recommend and those you prefer not to be contacted. We will bring our resources to the table to round out any gaps in the build.
A Cost Effective Approach- Once a contractor list is established, we will request a proposal from each. In addition, we will handle background checks and due diligence. Once all the bids are received, we compile all the proposals and establish the Guaranteed Maximum Price of the project.
Eden Religious Facilities is committed to being completely transparent with you throughout the process. The numbers that make up the Guaranteed Maximum Price are no exception. You will know what we know, period.
The “Easy” Part- Once all bids are selected, we have a completed site design, construction drawings, obtained governmental approval, finalized financing, and established a Guaranteed Maximum Price. We will now offer our services as a church builder to the committee. Because of our experience, the building the facility is the easy part for us. After 20 years of development, we can say without reservation: Getting the church to ground breaking is without wasting time or money is the key to the entire project!Get answers and costs before you make the investment to build.Planning a construction or renovation can be a daunting process.
