Operations 105, Class 3 Architectural Process. Guest Lecturer John was raised in Memphis,...

Class 3—Architectural Process We will devote two classes to hearing from an architect about the architectural process. To build a great building for your church, you must understand the issues from the architect’s perspective. What is the architectural process? Where does one begin—a phone call, a lunch or an offer to design? This leads into the “Request for Proposal” process. Whether you have skilled building professionals and contractors in your congregation or not, church leaders need to know the basics of the RFP process. Leaders must also understand the elementals of working with regulatory bodies, Temporary Use Permits (TUP) and Conditional Use Permits (CUP) and how to obtain the necessary building approvals.
