3. Initial concept by Gary, Dec 2016

4. Schematic Design Concepts by Doug

5. Design Development, Doug Carithers

6. Where are we now? We’ve achieved 50% design development drawings.
These were the drawings the congregation previewed before Christmas.
This is the first GC pricing phase that includes engineering and subcontractor cost estimates.

7. How much will it cost?
As drawn, the cost including design fees is estimated at $ million.
This is down considerably from the original conceptual design Gary Baumgardner drew for us in It is estimated at $3.750 million.
However, our goal, based on pledges, savings and borrowing capacity is $1.8 million.

9. What does this mean?
To proceed with the Design Development drawings, we would have deleted or shelled much of the work, including Fellowship and much of the Education wing.
As a team, we felt accepting this much compromise would effect the facility’s ability to help us achieve our ministry.

10. What can we do?
Without sacrificing space or the floor plan, we can achieve our goal of building this facility using a pre-engineered building. This greatly simplifies and reduces the structural costs.
However, it does come with limitations. For example:
Not practical with clearstory windows.
Best suited for square or rectangular layout.
We also deleted the portico and tower for additional savings.

12. Phased approach:
Understanding use of a pre-engineered structure doesn’t allow us the same design or construction flexibilities that wood framing does, it is our recommendation we consider development of the Word of God property in a phased approach.
This enables us to build this facility that serves our short to intermediate goals.
Have use of our property and facility now while paying down its’ debt rather than paying rent.
Position this building such that it is secondary to our future worship facility.

13. Master plan:

14. What might this building look like?

15. But, it doesn’t look like we thought it would…
No, it doesn’t. This represents what will become our secondary building. Think Fellowship, Education or perhaps a gym or contemporary service. Therefore, it’s only our temporary church. By any measure, it’s a significant improvement over what we have now. There are things we can do to make it more appealing. However, as it stands, we are still slightly over budget. So we’ve adopted the simplest, most cost effective design in an effort to push this project forward. Currently this design, including design fees, amounts to $2.1 million.

16. Options:
From a practical standpoint, we probably have two options: 1. Postpone property development until we have saved more. a. How long? That would depend. Let’s suppose folks were equally as generous as they were as the first pledge campaign, it’d take another 2 to 3 years minimum. 2. Proceed using phased approach.
