STEPS IN BUILDING OR RENOVATING A CHURCH

For any congregation, building or renovating a church is a major undertaking. No matter the religion, each congregation has its own unique needs.  Another important consideration after 2020 is social distancing due to COVID-19. With any commercial building, it is important to hire a construction contractor who is experienced, comes with good recommendations or reviews, and is able to organize and direct the project to your set budget.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT

To set the budget, you must understand the needs of your build or renovation for your congregation. What are the parameters of the new building? You need to understand the demographics of your congregations. For example, are there a lot of families and young children? You may need to plan for childcare and a place for learning. Establishing the budget and the needs of your congregation is imperative to ensure that your new building will be everything you want.

CHOOSING A COMMERCIAL BUILDING CONTRACTOR

Once you establish the needs of your church renovation or new build, the next step is to find and hire an experienced church builder for a consultation.

SCHOOL RENOVATIONS IN 2021

In 2020, COVID-19 caused schools to change from in-person classes to online. Many schools have taken advantage of this time to make much-needed renovations and complete modernization projects on school buildings. These renovations have been made for space, environment, learning, health and safety reasons.

SCHOOLS RE-OPENING
Many public schools in North Carolina are preparing to teach students in-person again this spring. For schools to reopen and accept kids for in-person learning, schools must make some changes to their current facilities. It is important that school buildings take precautions for the COVID-19 pandemic, and it can also make schools safer spaces for the future. Renovating a school building is beneficial when it comes to increasing space inside for necessary social distancing. Contractors can also add wall partitions between seats and create outdoor teaching areas. 

FACILITIES MATTER

THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF A GENERAL CONTRACTOR

A general contractor plays an important role as someone who coordinates and supervises every aspect of a building or remodeling project. A general contractor oversees the project from start to finish, making sure that each portion of the project is done to the utmost satisfaction. Hiring a general contractor takes away the logistical stress and responsibility to oversee a construction project and is highly recommended. 
 
SUBCONTRACTING AND COMMUNICATIONS
 
A good general contractor has experience working with quality subcontractors and are known for quality work. In addition, the general contractor will also act as a liaison between the business or homeowner and the subcontractors in order to keep everything on track according to schedule until completion of the project. A good general contractor takes it to the next level by working also the design team, architect, and interior designer to finish out the project. 
 
PROVIDES QUALITY CONTROL
 
One of the ways that a general contractor provides quality control is by monitoring and overseeing the construction timeline. The completion timeline plays an important role in any project. If a project goes beyond the estimated completion date, there is a good chance of going over budget. While delays cannot be prevented due to the weather, a contractor can work hard to ensure the subcontractors are sticking to the schedule and making up any weather-related delays when possible.
 
Another way a general contractor provides quality control is by checking the completed work of a project. A general contractor should always be available to routinely check work on the building project. Most general contractors do scheduled and unscheduled checks.  Having a general contractor inspect prior to an official building inspection helps to prevent delays in completion and helps corrections or changes be made.
 
PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS
 
A very important reason for hiring a commercial contractor is because they understand the ins-and-outs for permits and licenses for commercial building.  A contractor is familiar with the permits and licenses that you will need to legally complete your project.  In addition, they will schedule inspections as needed and make sure everything passes code.  A general contractor will work directly with the city of Fayetteville to schedule all required inspections and make sure the project stays on schedule while also staying to code.
