This partnership combines the church building expertise and excellent reputation of the Story Construction team in the state of Iowa with the national church design experience and broad network of services offered to ministries through the Building God’s Way program.
Through a unique delivery model we call the Trinity Partnership, BGW Architects and Story Construction are aligned from the very earliest stages of design and take a team approach to exploring the best ways to reduce costs for the ministry.
Story Construction plays a crucial role in the BGW preliminary design charrette process, helping keep costs in check as we launch design ideas and explore solutions. Following the charrette, BGW Architects and Story Construction work together to develop a preliminary cost estimate, taking into account all potential site costs, fees and other soft costs that could be involved in order to provide the ministry with a realistic financial forecast for the project.
