Church buildings are more than just structures. For the congregations who use them, the church is a spiritual sanctuary, a place of worship. Church building construction plays a central role in helping a worship center become a connection point for the community.
To achieve this, Weaver Commercial Contractor approaches new church building design with an approach developed by our partners at BGW Architects known as “Intelligent Design.” By incorporating faith-based principles into the church construction process, we can achieve the results your congregation needs.
What is “Intelligent Design” in Church Construction?
At WCC, the framework of “Intelligent Design” in church design and construction integrates the Biblical principles of relationship, stewardship, and outreach during each stage of the project. We start by building strong relationships with church leaders and the congregation to understand their vision, values, and needs.
With this relationship as the foundation, we then seek to act as wise stewards by practicing responsible resource management, ensuring that the project is financially sustainable and honors the congregation's investment. We also consider the church's role in the wider community, helping design spaces that will facilitate their outreach and service initiatives.
WCC’s 5-Step Design & Construction Process
The principles of relationship, stewardship, and outreach begin in the pre-design phase, where we collaborate with the church to develop initial concepts and provide a project cost estimate. With the preliminary designs in place, we then help churches and congregations navigate the financial aspects of the project, including capital campaigns, fundraising, and lending options. By providing comprehensive construction drawings and specifications, you can enjoy accuracy and clarity regarding expected church building construction costs, timelines, and outcomes.
WCC also undertakes extensive pre-construction activities to ensure the success of your project, including permitting, bidding, and establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). This keeps the project on time and on budget. We then follow through during the church construction itself with a commitment to high-quality and timely work.
