Using Church Floor Plans from DigitalChurchPlans.com

Besides getting your church built with huge savings in church design, here are two very important additional uses and benefits that your church will realize by using our stock church building plans.

Use our stock church building plans to request competitive bids from contractors early in the process to truly understand construction prices in your area.  This is a huge benefit to the church.  Usually churches must go all the way through the design process and spend 10's of thousands of dollars on drawings before getting a construction bid price.  Unfortunately, what happens at least 3 times out of 4 is that the construction bid comes back much higher than the estimate.  Churches then have to pay the architect to redesign their plans to bring the construction cost estimate down to budget

Using our unmodified stock plans, your can get a very accurate idea of the cost per square foot to actually build.  Since the changes to the stock plan don't usually significantly change the construction price, your church can proceed forward with the project knowing what the real cost will be to build (not guess, conjecture or estimate).

Another huge benefit is that of saving time.  By having working drawings that are probably 90% or more like what you are going to build, you can begin the process of evaluating bids and selecting a contractor or design/build firm much earlier in the process.  This is especially important if you are trying to fast track a building program.

A picture is worth a thousand words.  Our concept drawings (like the ones you can purchase here) are great tools for communication.  Here are a few of the areas where good concept drawings will aid the process:

• Providing vision to the church and building committee.  As we said, a picture is worth a thousand words.

• Providing a catalyst for design discussion.  The concept document gives your church a good starting point to discuss the needs of the church, what they like and need and what they don't.

• Provides a "drawing pad" on which the church can sketch modifications for communicating to the architect

• Capital Stewardship Campaign.  A good church floor plan can help communicate the vision of the future church and is a great way to help raise excitement and financial support for a building program. (see example below)

For some of our floor plans, we also have renderings that are available for a small extra fee.  Color renderings turn 2 dimensional line drawings into photo realistic color "pictures".  The example at left uses both color renderings and the church floor plan

Color renderings are especially effective in capital campaign programs as many people have a difficult time relating to a two dimensional floor plan or elevation. 

A color rendering is often used in one or more of the communication pieces for the capital campaign, such as the one to the right.
