PRELIMINARY DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

How your program is developed:
We work with the Pastor and the church’s vision to develop a facility and campus layout (Master Plan) that will clearly communicate the Building Program’s Design, Uses, and Schedule for completion.

CBA will meet with your church and complete a Standard Program Questionnaire , a Budget Outline, and Preliminary Site Development worksheet for your project.

From the information collected, we will then create a set of Preliminary Drawings that include a Floor Plan and Building Elevation. To get started on the preliminaries we will need a copy of your properties topographic and boundary survey, one of our Project Developers are able to assist with this process.

Design/Build Program Development






Working with your committee.
We work carefully with the building committee leaders developing your Building Program. Our Project Developers will help you tailor a written program to begin the task of coordinating space, facility uses, construction and costs. You can download a program template here: Standard Program Questionnaire .
