Daniels & Daniels

Designing and constructing a church building that fulfills your vision for ministry can be stressful. We understand you want a seamless church construction process that will not overwhelm your staff or congregation. With the right planning, you can perform due diligence on an undeveloped site, new building, or existing building and eliminate budgetary surprises. Our transparent, collaborative team at Churches by Daniels can help you accelerate your ministry with reliable, budget-friendly church pre-construction planning and management.

As experienced church construction consultants, Churches by Daniels serves churches by overseeing all facets of your church construction project. As church designers and builders, we are involved in each project from planning through completion. Our church construction consultants work with the architects during planning and design to provide for a better end result at a lower cost. And the daily working relationship with the project architect assures the owner of good quality construction.

Building a beautiful, functional church space that welcomes your community can be stressful-especially when it comes to finding a reliable church builder who can bring your unique ministry vision to life. As your ministry partner, we promise a transparent, honest approach to the church construction planning and building process. We understand how pastors can feel uncertain when looking into constructing a new building. That's why the Daniels team compiled two guides to give you an overview of what you need to know.

The Design-Build Process, also known as "design-construct" or "single responsibility, " is a system of contracting in which one entity manages the architecture, engineering and construction-all under one contract. In the church design-build system, the architect and construction contractor work together as a team. Churches benefit from building projects that are streamlined and fiscally responsible. In this regard, the Design-Build approach offers advantages over the traditional design-bid-build process.

When a church building committee (owner) chooses an architect to design their project, rather than asking an architect to bid the design, the church fills the role of the general contractor. They negotiate with a construction manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of the project to get the most cost-effective results. At Churches By Daniels, we recommend the construction manager first establish a fixed fee for his services. This construction delivery method is accepted industry-wide as the least expensive method of construction.

Building a church that invites, welcomes, and engages a congregation is an exciting and stressful endeavor. We know you want to steward this decision well. At Churches by Daniels, we understand how valuable your church space is to your ministry. Our church architect and design services evaluate your current and future programs to develop designs that work within your budget and stay true to your mission and values. It's our goal to share our experience and expertise openly and transparently with you, empowering you and your church building team to make the best decisions throughout your church building process.
