19th, 2008 Selecting the "Right" Building Delivery System for Your
Church 60 minutes, starting at 7 p.m. EST
When
faced with the prospect of a building program, most church building committees
assume the very first step is to hire an architect. It's pretty rare at this point
in time for any of the committee members to think about the "building delivery
system" they will use for their project. This is mainly because they are
unaware there are such things as building delivery systems that exist. Yet, this
decision far surpasses even the importance of choosing an appropriate architectural
or building firm. It is the one decision that has more influence and impact on
the successful outcome of a church building project than any other. This session
will help you:
Select
and tailor a building delivery system that will be the best fit for your church.
Understand
the degree of risks for your congregation inherent in the different building delivery
systems.
Avoid being led into building delivery systems that are not good
for your church.
