In this third and final part of our Church Build Project series, you’ll discover how budgeting can make or break your next new build or remodeling project.

Every project has a budget, but there is often a mismatch between church aspirations and available funding. Teamwork between the owner, architect and contractor is critical to finding the right balance between dollars and space.

When looking at the project’s overall budget, initial construction costs are only a small fraction of the total expenditures over the life cycle of a new church building. This session will focus on strategies for balancing construction and operating costs, and identify ways that thoughtful design can reduce continuing costs over the life of the facility.

Creative planning, design and construction strategies can help your team achieve the maximum result within the funds available.
