A Strategic Plan To Follow
A Master Plan is a strategy for managing growth and maintaining a healthy facility in the process. Strategic planning for your present and future needs is critical to the overall success of any project.
Building Your Future, Together
A church master plan is a concise written-out and defined declaration and ultimate plan of the church's tentative assumptions about God's will for their church life including directives for the guidance of the church's physical facilities and the objectives for the church's organizational space and land planning often resulting in floor plans and site plans reflecting the church's future growth potential.
Developing a master plan can prevent mis-steps and ensure that resources are used to their full potential. The master plan process can stimulate a church or any other business organization to directly address and examine their present and future goals, ambitions and objectives.
Critical Planning Considerations
A master plan should address essential questions about your current situation, immediate needs, and future growth potential. Our comprehensive approach ensures every critical factor is carefully considered.
-
Current Facilities Assessment – Where are we right now and what is the current condition of our facilities? Are our existing facilities sufficient or can they be successfully modified?
-
Immediate & Future Needs – What do we need to accomplish in the immediate future? Can we anticipate what our needs are likely to be in the future?
-
Site Capacity & Growth – Will our current site support our anticipated growth? How can we best use our current site and can it grow with us?
-
Phased Growth Planning – Does our master plan address and plan for our immediate needs, our short-term needs and our long-range (20-year) needs?
A Plan Of Value
The first step of any master plan is a current assessment of the client's existing circumstances. A thorough understanding of your current conditions will often begin to suggest master planning solutions.
Comprehensive study of your existing physical facilities to understand current capacity, condition, and potential for adaptation or expansion.
Consideration of existing properties and examination of newly purchased properties to determine optimal land use and development opportunities.
Evaluation of your needs, goals, dreams and aspirations to ensure the master plan accurately reflects your organization's vision and mission.
Development of "Project Goals and Objectives" document that serves as the foundation before any architectural design begins.
Understanding the Present
An important result of a thorough assessment of the client's needs is our pre-design document titled: "Project Goals and Objectives." The actual design of the architecture of any project does not begin until the "Project Goals and Objectives" are completed and approved by our client.
Understanding the client's dreams, desires, hopes and aspirations during the early phases of a project will ensure that the resulting design accurately reflects the client's major needs.
Projecting for Growth
Architecture is never static nor does it stand alone unrelated to space and time. Architecture is created to provide for spatial needs and to respond to a client's dreams and desires. Both our corporate clients as well as our church clients deal with the changing times.
It is always our task at Barnes Design Group to embrace the client's present needs within our design solutions while also providing design guidance addressing the future.
