Modification of Stock Church Plans

DigitalChurchPlans.com  provides unstamped church building plans to churches, allowing them to get those plans modified by their local architect or by us at ABL Architecture & Design.  Modifications to plans fall can be thought of as falling into three broad levels of complexity.

As a general rule, modifications that would be typical of the lowest level of complexity changes such as removing or moving interior, non load-bearing walls to resize a room, dividing a large area into smaller rooms, combining smaller rooms into larger spaces, changing door and window positions, sizes and types, and even moving certain rooms around.  This is typical of a church plan that very closely meets the needs of the church as is, and provides the greatest cost savings.  Church design cost savings with this level of complexity of change may well be expected to exceed 80% (depending on square footage).

The next level of complexity would be large scale redesign or relocation of rooms, substantially changing the interior floor plan of the church, substantially moving "wet walls" (walls with plumbing in them), moving corridors, fire rated walls, or firewalls, add a balcony, or substantially changing the elevation of the building.  This level of complexity can still be readily accomplished with huge cost savings using our plans, with savings that can reasonably be expected to exceed 50% or more (depending on scope of changes and square footage).

The third level of complexity is when the church desires to add a floor or basement or change the footprint (size or shape of exterior walls).  In cases such as this, where extensive changes are required, the church should be careful to discuss this with our architect to see if the church should consider another plan before they purchase a stock plan.

Master Planning

Regardless of where you get your plans, before you build a church you should have a master plan.  A master plan will help you visualize the church property in its fully developed state, to help make sure you build this building in the right place in order to fit into a larger plan as your church grows.  A master plan is also a wonderful tool for casting and maintaining focused vision, and can be an important part of a capital stewardship program.

Color Renderings

Sometimes it is difficult for church members to visualize what the church will look like when completed.  A color rendering of one of our church plans brings the two dimensional plan into lifelike 3-D reality through a photorealistic color rendering of the exterior.  Color renderings of our plans are available for an additional fee.
