Things To Think About On A Church Building Project

By Stella Gay


Creating something big is never easy. It requires planning and the right amount of funding to get something done. This is exactly why there is a need to assign various committees, along with their heads. They will be the persons who will lead the members and will oversee the progress of the project to make sure that things are taken care of according to the plan.

One of the major considerations when it comes to preparing for anything is the selection of the right persons who will be in charge of some specific tasks. Church building project is among those ventures that needs careful planning given the limited funding that the church has. Depending on the size of the establishment, they may need to secure additional with the help of the whole community.

Still, despite this challenge, we still see this as something that has to be done. Its more than just being a simple building. Its something that can benefit the whole community of believers in the area. When planning for any type of projects, here are some things that you can think about.

Hiring the architect. The building of any structure cannot be managed just by anybody. Getting the service of a skilled architect is very important in making sure that details are considered very clearly. The architect will be the one responsible for creating the structural design and making sure that t required materials needed to achieve the look is present.

Volunteer labor. While you can ask for volunteers to do the legwork, you should also not set aside the idea of asking community members for volunteers. Not only will this help your church save money. It will also encourage camaraderie and cooperation among the people.

Insurance. This is important to make sure that the workers at the same time you, are protected from any kind of expenses in case any accidents while at work will happen. When you hire builders outside, ensure that they are covered by some insurance before agreeing on any deal.

Avenues to secure the funds. If you really fall short of your budget, then you can look into ways on how to raise the money. Activities like concerts for a cause, garage sale, special exhibits and the like have the potential of raising money that you can use. Know your options.

Clear time table. Lastly, think of the estimated time when you need to have the project completed. Having this will help see how much money will you have to spend for the everyday expense. Also, this will give the architect and the workers some idea on when their output is expected. Of course finalizing this will need the presence of those who will be on field. They will be the once who can validate if the time you give them is doable or not.

Invest time on planning to ensure the smooth flow of the project. There are a lot of community members who are willing to help. Be sure to inform them of the ongoing project and ask for those who are interested to be of help.
