In addition to their local expertise with church building and Christian school construction, BGW Certified Builders are skilled in delivering the unique Building God’s Way Approach that has consistently proven to cut construction costs by reducing conflict, scheduling delays, change orders and product mark-up.
Collaboration During Preliminary Design
The involvement of a Certified BGW Builder is critical during this early stage of design, to help keep projects grounded from a cost perspective as we launch ideas and explore solutions. Even the best designers can often go down the road of cost-overruns during preliminary design as the project scope is developed. Our experienced builder partners offer valuable feedback on the cost implications and constructibility of each design decision, value engineering ideas and opportunities for cost savings, as well as expertise in developing a preliminary construction cost estimate.
Pre-Construction Stewardship
Unlike standard design and construction approaches in which the architectural plans are completed and then sent out to contractors for bid, BGW Certified Builders engage in a unique process to explore the plans at a much deeper level with the architect and the subcontractors prior to soliciting final bids. Through this series of pre-construction meetings, the goal is to break the pattern of conflict and poor communication that is typical in the construction industry by asking the subcontractors to take our drawings, review them, and then come back to discuss them in individual sessions.
In addition to value engineering ideas from subcontractors about more efficient and cost-effective ways to accomplish the work, this process allows the BGW team to make the necessary changes to the construction documents that can clear up any confusion in the plan set, which can significantly reduce or eliminate change orders. PCS also incorporates a survey exercise that helps to identify construction industry relationships that the ministry might have in the local community that can lead to additional value added to the project in reduced mark-up or gifting of materials or labor.
The Ministry of Construction
God has great plans for the ministry that will happen within your new building, but you don’t have to wait until the building is completed – you can start during construction! BGW Certified Builders are deeply committed to helping ministry clients impact the workers on their job sites with the love of Christ. An integral part of the BGW approach since its foundation, this program offers a step-by-step guide to organizing a successful outreach effort during construction. Through simple acts of kindness, hospitality and appreciation, your ministry will be able to build relationships with local construction workers.
