Advent Lutheran Church

This 4,050 sf octagonal sanctuary addition to an existing church was designed with a sloped slab on grade to provide clear visibility of the pulpit area from all seats. The structure featured steel columns with wood framing, masonry walls and a 30' vaulted ceiling. The unique shape of the space necessitated individual cut-to-fit calculations for each angle in the exposed beams as they were being placed. We also built a 2,600 sf classroom building for the facility. Through proactive weekly owner's meetings we were able to recoup all weather-related delay expenses and value-engineering accounted for an additional $55,000 in costs we were able to return to the church.
