The Trinity Partnership
BGW has established a reputation for utilizing a delivery model that is uniquely different from standard construction models, offering the best of the design-bid-build and design-build approaches while avoiding their inherent downsides.
Created exclusively for ministry organizations, this approach seeks to transform the job site by reducing conflict, scheduling delays and change orders, and has proven to significantly lower construction costs. Learn More
Pre-Construction Stewardship
During the pre-construction phase of the project when we are getting final permits from the city or county, BGW and its partner builders conduct a unique series of meetings with all interested subcontractors called Pre-Construction Stewardship to review the plans together prior to soliciting their bids. Unlike standard approaches in which the architectural plans are completed and then sent out to contractors for bid, this process allows us to uncover more efficient and cost-effective ways to accomplish the work and make the necessary changes to the construction documents. In addition to value engineering ideas, this process allows us to clear up any confusion in the plans and significantly reduce or eliminate change orders.
Our goal through the Pre-Construction Stewardship Process is essentially to break the pattern of conflict and poor communication that is often normalized in the construction industry. It also allows us to identify opportunities for in-kind gifts to the project by engaging your membership in a survey exercise that helps to uncover any linkages that your ministry stakeholders might have to the local construction industry. Once identified, these “linked subcontractors” would then be vetted by the General Contractor to determine their qualifications for the project. Many times, we find that these relationships can lead to additional value added to the project through 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 now!
We believe that every church or Christian school building project presents a unique ministry opportunity. Building God’s Way is deeply committed to helping you impact the workers on your job site 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. Through simple acts of kindness, hospitality and appreciation, your ministry will be able to build relationships with local construction workers that will be on your property for several months or more.
