BENEFITS
OF
MYLER'S DESIGN / BUILD DESIGN / ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
These
are several value added benefits that Myler's associate team of architects includes
in its basic design, architectural, and engineering services and fees for which
other architects will charge you extra to the basic fees they quote you.
ARCHITECTURAL
INDUCED CHANGE ORDERS
According
to industry statistics, architectural induced change orders will add an average
of 7% more to the cost of your project. This type of change order is caused by
the lack of clarity in the architectural working drawings and creates unanticipated
extra costs to you during construction. These change orders usually do not create
added value for you, but are merely extra costs. What does this mean to your church?
With many other architectural and contracting firms, you will pay an average of
7% or more architect fees for architectural induced change orders and will end
up paying a general contractor an average of 7% or more than the original bid
price contract amount. Most churches just aren't able to take this kind of financial
risk.
What
does Myler do for you? Myler Church clients are not saddled with the costs of
architectural induced change orders. When Myler gives you a Guaranteed Contract
Price, your contract price will not increase.
PLANNING:
NEEDS ANALYSIS AND PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS
With
the typical AIA architectural contract, you as a church are totally responsible
for doing your own planning. There is usually a cost of $2,500 to $4,500 to your
church if you request the architect to assist you in this task. The planning
process of determining the right type of facility to build, the right amount of
space to build, and setting a building budget within what your congregation can
afford is critical to the success of your project. Because the planning process
is so critical in getting your building program off on the right foot, Myler is
willing to invest $2,500 to $4,500 of our own money in our peoples' time and effort
in helping you with this crucial planning process.
MASTER
PLANNING COSTS
Most
architects will charge you $5,000 or more for master planning services. At no
obligation or cost to your church we invest our own money in producing this vital
and integral master plan for your church.
COLOR
RENDERING COSTS
Most
architects will charge you $1,500 or more for a color rendering. We invest our
own money in providing a colored rendering for your church.
3-D
FLY AROUND
Most
architects will charge you between $5,000 to $8,000 for a 3-D Animated Fly Around.
Myler feels this is an important resource for you during the time you will be
raising money to support your building program. We invest $5,000 to $8,000 of
our own money in providing a 3-D Fly Around for your church.
ARCHITECTURAL
TRAVEL EXPENSES
Architects'
contracts have a provision for being reimbursed for travel expenses to and from
your project. This can amount to an average of $2,000 to $5,000 or more of extra
costs to you. Myler invests our own money in traveling to and from your project.

in four parts: There will be a design phase consisting of developing schematic
and design drawings that will illustrate and define the size and scope of the
Project for you, as well as a master plan of your site. There will be a working
drawing (Construction Document) phase consisting of developing the detailed drawings
and specifications that will be used to construct the Project. There will be an
inspection phase during the actual construction of the Project. And after your
project is successfully completed and you have been using it for one year, there
will be a one year follow up inspection to make sure all warranty work is documented
and taken care of for you.

MYLER'S
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
When
you are building a new church facility for your congregation, consideration has
to be given not only to the initial building costs, but also to how much it will
cost your congregation to maintain and operate the facilities over the next 40
or more years. Though initial costs will be quite important to you, we are sure
you are concerned about the long run maintenance and operational costs, too. Myler's
design philosophy is to give your congregation the best long term value for the
dollar invested. Our team of designers will be designing your new church facility
to be highly functional and "user" friendly for your programming needs,
affordable to your congregation, aesthetically attractive for your community,
easy to maintain, and be cost effective for you to maintain and operate for as
long as you are going to be using it. In order to accomplish this for you, during
the preparation of the design, architectural and engineering construction documents,
we will be including the following things.
Through
value engineering and life cycle costing studies, Myler will be researching products
and systems that will give you the maximum
and best value for your investment…while
minimizing the initial costs of construction.
We
will be specifying materials that require minimum maintenance wherever possible,
saving you maintenance costs. Myler's team of architects and engineers will be
designing heating and air conditioning systems to meet your church's needs and
use a minimum amount of energy, saving you energy costs. We will insulate your
new facilities adequately and specify glass products that will reduce heat and
air conditioning loss to reduce your utility costs.
Our
designers will design your new church facilities with a
practical eye towards future expansion,
modifications, and your long term church programming needs thereby
saving you expensive retrofit costs in the future.
We
will be including material, products, and systems that
reduce the cost of insurance for
you on both the new church facilities and the contents of the building.
If
possible, we will orient your new church facilities to increase the value of solar
energy and decrease weather related problems caused by prevailing wind patterns.
If
you have existing facilities, we will make sure the
design of
your new facilities is
complimentary to the existing.
LOCAL
CODES & PERMITTING ISSUES
At
no additional cost to you, Myler will be teaming with a reputable local architect
and a site engineer in your area who have knowledge of local code issues and have
established good working relationships with local zoning and permitting officials.
They will assist Myler's team of architects and engineers in the site (civil)
engineering, permitting, and inspection requirements for your project, as well
as providing a local contact person for you.

WHAT
OTHER CHURCHES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MYLER'S
DESIGN / BUILD DESIGN & ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
"Your associate
team of architects have done a great job
of bringing our God given vision of a new sanctuary to a physical reality we can
see. The building is going to fit all of our growth needs and it blends in beautifully
with the community around us."
Rev.
Gary G. Glanville Northwest Baptist Church
"The
creation of a religious property does not happen by accident or some architectural
slight of hand. I have watched the designers listen and respond to the needs of
the parishioners of St. Joseph's parish with a plan that honors the liturgical
and aesthetic components of the project without overlooking the financial implications.
This is what distinguishes Myler from others - close attention to details and
the economy of the project."
Richard S. Vosko, Ph.D. Designer & consultant for Worship Environment
"Thank you for the patience and cooperation
exhibited by the architectural staff in working with our various committee throughout
the process of designing and developing the architectural plans for our new worship
facilities. The plans are of excellent quality and, once built, our new facilities
will be very functional, attractive to our community, and should be easy and inexpensive
for us to maintain and operate."
Straud
S. Carlton Chairman Building and Steering Committee Byne Memorial Baptist
Church
"This is one of the finest sets of
drawings we have seen. The clean lines and details make it easy for us to do our
take-offs. This allows us to be very precise in our pricing and more competitive
in our bid to the church. And it sure makes it a lot easier to install our portion
of the project!"
