Illinois Church Design Process
Our design process begins with a unique spin on an age-old architectural exercise called a “charrette”. Unlike typical design methods in which the church architect works separately with little “back and forth” input from the owner, this highly collaborative effort takes place over a 3 day period at the church or school site, allowing design solutions to evolve quickly with real-time adaptations by the architect, based on the feedback of key ministry leaders and the local BGW Builder.

Illinois Church Construction Experts
In addition to their local expertise with church building and Christian school construction, BGW Builders are also 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. Through a unique series of meetings that we call Pre-Construction Stewardship, our goal is to break the pattern of conflict and miscommunication that is typical in the construction industry.
We also believe that every church construction or Christian school building project presents a unique ministry opportunity. BGW Architects and its builder partners 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, the Ministry of Construction program offers a step-by-step guide to organizing a successful outreach effort during construction.
