We use rules of thumb to help determine the probable size of your new church. This method is very quick and can help you on a very basic level. One of the best rules of thumb is to compare one of our previous projects to your needs. If your needs are similar, the size of your building should be similar.
Another very basic rule of thumb is: For a new facility each attendee will require 55 square feet. Obviously this is a one size fits all template but it may help you get started. We will use detailed methods and plans to determine your actual needed size.
