Our Services
Many churches design elaborate and ornate facilities that often times are too expensive to build or would require incurring large amounts of debt to complete. At S.O.A., we want to help churches be good stewards of their finances and resources, by designing and building comfortable and stylish spaces that accurately meet space needs without wasting dollars on overly lavish details that could be better used to reach people for Jesus Christ. With this goal in mind, we offer many financial benefits to churches that use our full Design-Build bundle, including a credit on architectural services once we enter the construction phase and our Giving & Financial Assessment to assist with funding options.
*Due to the nature of our design process, S.O.A. promises NO change orders on all new design-build construction. However, changes requested by the church (i.e. finish/fixture changes) during the construction phase may incur an additional fee or be subject to budget review.
While bundling with a full Design-Build contract is always better stewardship, each step in our process can be broken out into individual services. We also have additional services that extend beyond the construction phase for long-term support with your new facility.
