Did you know that 95% of the cost savings on your project is going to be determined by the steps you take BEFORE YOU EVER HIRE AN ARCHITECT?

The Traditional Hire An Architect & Design Something and bring everybody else in later approach is not only costly, it many times can make the difference between your project being successful or not.  It is the very reason that the major corporations and government entities are moving away from the traditional design-bid-build approach to team approaches such as design/build or owners representative services.

At Build-Masters Group LLC we understand the value of developing the right teams and the need for flexibility. 

The design and construction process is a risk-laden process that requires the experience, and focus of a church development team that can navigate the church development process. It requires a manager that is experienced in managing the multiple and complex tasks of land use regulations, concurrenchy requirements, civil engineering, structural, electrical and HVAC engineering, audio-video-lighting and production design, acoustics, financing, fundraising, contract negotiations, accurate cost estimating throughout the entire project, as well as trends impacting your ministry.

Design Services- At Build Masters we take great pride in our design coordination services and our ability to help a church understand what they can afford, what ministry space they require, what their overall campus and master-plan should look like and how to design the most cost efficient and dynamic space within their budget. Anybody can design a building, very few can design the right ministry space that is customized to your needs, is within your budget and is the right fit for your ministry and your community. 

Through our Design Services we coordinate the entire design process and utilize some of the leading church design architects in the country that understand ministry, specialize in church design and are great partners in the overall project team.

We begin by doing our homework up front to know exactly what you can afford by having lending approvals by church lending companies, doing our due diligence in land use, zoning impacts, traffic impacts, concurrency requirements, site development costs, building code impacts, soft costs, impact fees etc in order to help you establish the right total project budget. Once we have established a budget, we then interface with your ministry to understand your vision, goals and direction to understand what your overall space needs and space utilization requirements are. We listen to your staff to understand not only your current ministry but where you are headed 5-10 years in the future. Because we understand ministry dynamics and trends we are able to design the right type of space for you ministry and help you identify the most cost efficient methods of bulding it within your budget. 

BEFORE WE EVER DRAW THE FIRST LINE- We know exactly what the banks will lend you, what the site development costs are, what the concurrency requirements will be, what your ministry requirements short and long term will be, what your master-plan and phasing strategies shall be and what the total project costs should be within 10%-15% before we have ever drawn the first architectural line. No more guessing, put it out for bid and hope that your project works!

Construction or Owners Rep Services- Because of the complexity of real estate development in most areas of the country, you can no longer manage a church development project effectively without having someone internally or externally managing the process of design, development and construction.  You need a manager that is experienced in church development and the various disciplines that can challenge the architect, contractor, civil engineer, MEP and Structural Engineers, AVL and Acoustical consultants in a way that saves you time, money and headaches.  

At Build-Masters we view ourselves as a partner and an extension of your staff. Whether it is through our Construction Management Services where we act as the design/builder, or through our Owners Representative Services where we are able to manage any part of or the entire process of design or construction as your advocate, we stand ready to serve you and your leadership. 

At Build-Masters we have the experience, relationships and expertise in church development with over $400,000,000 and 300+ churches of design and construction projects, to know how to deliver a quality project, that meets you ministry needs, brings your project in on time and in budget without all the hassles typically associated with construction process.
