AN INVALUABLE, AFFORDABLE WAY TO KICK START YOUR PROJECT

 

While visiting your church for two or more days of focused work, your Cornerstone Collaborative navigator quickly engages your team to create momentum and excitement for your project. You receive an objective overview for your project, 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

 

•   renderings of conceptual designs

 

 

This service, offered on a flat fee basis, includes our preparation, travel expenses, and creative design focused on your church’s unique needs.

 

GETTING VALUE-PACKED RESULTS— HOW TO PREPARE  AND WHAT TO EXPECT

Preparation – Prior to the on-site Workshop, your church is asked to complete a VisionCAST 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 navigator will arrive with the tools

necessary to develop solutions appropriate to your ministry model.

 

 

CORNERSTONE COLLABORATIVE’S VisionCAST WORKSHOP INCREASES PROBABILITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION BY:

•     supporting the leadership’s view that the project is a spiritual undertaking

•     creation of broad support from staff, leadership, and stake holders

•     early focus on feasibility

•     prioritization of needs and focused problem solving

•     drawing from a rich legacy and vast experience with diverse clients and        extensive observations

•     increasing likelihood of financial participation through ownership in a collaborative process

 

 

 

AFTER THE VisionCAST WORKSHOP...WHAT THEN?

 

Once a direction and scope is established during the VisionCAST Workshop the Cornerstone Collaborative team can design a proposal for specific services customized to each individual church circumstance and local conditions. Usually the next step is to determine as reliable cost projection, present to the church congregation, and move into a capital campaign to engage the church and help fund the project.  Assistance is available in all of these areas on an a la carte basis. 

 

As the project moves forward, a team of licensed Cornerstone affiliates (and/or church affiliates as appropriate) can be assembled for the following, subject to state and federal regulations: 

• Architectural and Engineering (Stuctural, Mechanical , Electrical , Plumbing) design services

• Civil (Site) Engineering services

• Construction (including Design-Build) and Construction Cost projections

• Capital Campaign services 

• Audio-Visual design services

• Interior Design, Graphics, Theming and Wayfinding services
