Planning a new construction or renovation process can lead to budget concerns, especially if you have a small congregation. However, doing the job yourself can get expensive when hiring individual architects, interior designers, builders, and materials. A design-build firm can be a more cost-effective solution to help bring your vision to life. You can receive three money-saving benefits to your church budget by hiring a design-build firm. 

Accurate Bidding

You may seek out an architect to build design plans before looking for contractors. 

But, when the contractor is hired,  design flaws that affect your budget might be uncovered. With a design-build firm, an architect and contractor can work together to help reduce these costs for a more accurate bidding process. 

Reduced Labor Costs 

When starting a new construction process, you need someone to oversee the project and coordinate the details. This can help you focus on your ministry and prevent scheduling delays due to miscommunication. In addition, hiring a design firm can help you streamline communication among team members to save time and cut overall labor costs. 

Lower Building Material Expenses

The cost of building materials is on the rise and could put a strain on a tight budget. The overall expenses for these materials can fluctuate, depending on availability. A design-build firm has established relationships with vendors to help cut costs without affecting quality. These professionals can also reduce the expenses for the equipment and tools needed for your project.
