Planning is an
essential part to any type of construction, especially to churches!
Do you need more space for your church? If so, what kind of space
do you need? Can existing space be utilized, or will you have to add
to your building? Do you have enough land to expand? Will you need
to start a new building elsewhere? These questions and others should
be answered during a needs analysis or feasibility study.
A feasibility study is conducted by an architect prior to any
other steps.
