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. BGW Architects and its builder partners are also 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.
