What To Prepare For A Church Building Project

By Stella Gay


For any successful venture lies a solid plan behind it. Its a standard to any kind of project. You will need to plan. From the people who will be involved in it to the budgeting and the time line on when you expect it to start and finish. Without careful planning, you will risk not being able to get the result that you expect from it.

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.

Architect in charge. When it comes to building structures, you cannot just let anyone be in charge of it. A professional architect has to be the one who will manage the designing of the establishment. He or she is trained for the job. He knows the necessary materials that has to be used for a specific construction and can work well on a plan given the specific budget.

Volunteers. This has something to do with the people who are in charge of the legwork. Members of the community who have knowledge in carpentry or construction and who are willing to contribute their expertise can be of real help. Since they are volunteers, you will not have to pay them by their labor. In turn, you can use the extra money for other project expense.

Insurance for the builders. One of the most important matters that the planning has to include will be the insurance. You will never know when accidents will happen. Of course we are praying for the best. But to make sure that everyone who will not have any problems in any hospital expense that an incident can incur, it is first to verify the presence of insurance.

Activities for securing funds. There is a possibility that even with the current budget that you have, you will still find it difficult to pay for everything. This is where you organize activities that can generate money from the community. Concerts, exhibits and selling of things can be of help in here.

Timeline. Some people do not focus on this. But this can be of help to make an initial assessment on the amount of money that you will have to pay to the builders on the entire duration of the work. It will also help the architect make some adjustments on the plan to make sure that the establishment will be finished on your specified time. Of course, if it is not doable, he can tell you about it.

There is not shortcut to the success of any venture. You will have to work for it. Gather the heads of the department in the project and plan together.
