When a church’s mem­ber­ship out­grows its wor­ship space, con­gre­ga­tion lead­ers often strug­gle with the deci­sion on whether to expand the cur­rent facil­i­ty or build a new church. Regard­less of the direc­tion tak­en, detailed plan­ning helps to estab­lish goals, stay on bud­get, and ensure thor­ough and well-man­aged com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the fel­low­ship.

The build­ing indus­try has seen a rel­a­tive­ly recent trend of archi­tects, design­ers, and home­own­ers mov­ing away from ener­gy con­sump­tive forms of con­struc­tion and the imple­men­ta­tion of more sus­tain­able, less expen­sive con­struc­tion meth­ods.

Before you begin your con­crete foun­da­tion forms DIY project, con­sid­er these five dis­ad­van­tages of DIY con­crete form con­struc­tion.

Under­stand­ing new build­ing codes is cru­cial for con­struc­tion pro­fes­sion­als and home­own­ers alike, espe­cial­ly with the increased fre­quen­cy and inten­si­ty of hur­ri­canes and tor­na­does.

Con­crete pump­ing has changed the way con­trac­tors place con­crete on job sites. Rather than haul­ing heavy loads in wheel­bar­rows or rely­ing on cranes and buck­ets, a con­crete pump deliv­ers liq­uid con­crete through a sys­tem of hoses, pipes, or booms — direct­ly to the point of place­ment.
