LifeWay Architecture - On-Site Consultation
On-Site Consultation AN INVALUABLE, AFFORDABLE WAY TO KICK START YOUR PROJECT While visiting your church for two days of focused work, your LifeWay Architecture consultant quickly engages your team to create momentum and excitement for your project. You receive an excellent objective overview for your team, preliminary ministry-focused design solutions, and guidance for moving forward. This intensive on-site process includes: • evaluating existing property and buildings • exploring options for renovation and/or new space • considering needs for additional property or relocation • developing a preliminary project budget and financial plan • a master site plan concept sketch • conceptual floor plan(s) for new construction and or renovation This service, offered on a flat fee basis, includes our preparation, travel expenses, and personal service.
GETTING VALUE-PACKED RESULTS—HOW TO PREPARE AND WHAT TO EXPECT Preparation – Prior to the on-site consultation, your church is asked to complete a Church Ministry Profile that we provide. This questionnaire will supply crucial information needed for our consultant to prepare for the visit. As part of this process, your church is also asked to provide a professional topographic survey of the property and scale drawings of any existing buildings. Everything should arrive in our Nashville office several weeks prior the visit. Then, your consultant will arrive with the tools necessary to develop solutions appropriate to your ministry model.

DAY ONE—The consultant begins the visit with a tour of any existing facilities and property, accompanied by a person who is familiar with how each space is used. Following a brief meeting with the pastor, the first day concludes in a two-hour meeting with the team, committee, or task force responsible for the project to discuss our observations, pertinent church history, vision for the future, your community, the growth strategy, financial position, funding possibilities, known space needs, and general parameters for the current project and long term. When the meeting ends, the consultant is prepared for the next day’s tasks with consensus for the direction of the design.
DAY TWO—The consultant prepares for a concluding evening meeting with your full team to include a strategy for the phases of construction, sketches to communicate the plan, and preliminary cost projections. That evening, the consultant presents recommendations and conceptual master site plan and phase one floor plan sketches, hears additional input from the church leadership, and attempts to reach consensus on next steps for the project. Because of our ability to quickly grasp the key Issues and design creative and purposeful solutions, clients often tell us that this is the most valuable two days they have ever experienced. The architectural consultants at LifeWay would count it a privilege to listen to you, hear your heart, learn of your church’s journey, answer any questions, and provide a proposal for your on-site consultation or any of the services we offer.
