Project Cost Increases

At the beginning of our journey to BUILD we started with some seed money, a gift of land, sale of the West Campus, some concept drawings and a step of faith. With the advancement of tenders and shifting realities, our overall project costs increased, due in large part to factors outside our control.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS AND COSTS

Spring 2018 to October 2021

In a nutshell: What caused higher costs than the original estimates?

Some of the cost increases were due to changing global realities impacting material costs and timelines and some of the increases were in response to community/ministry consultations, county requirements, new information arising on the construction site or the tendering process. And, finally, some of the cost increases were due to decisions made for the long term benefit of the church and our ministries, designing with the future in mind as new insights emerged.

Have any questions about the details of cost increases? These and other questions are included in our FAQ.
