Is your church traditional...or dated?

At Fredrick & Emily’s, our experience in working with hundreds of architects and other design professionals gives us a huge knowledge base to draw from in helping you come up with the right design for your church. We address not only the esthetic issues, but also the need for functionality and, of course, the costs. 

We’ll start the design process with an extensive question and answer session with key individuals to determine the framework and goals for the renovation. The ability to build consensus in the church is a vital step in creating a finished product everyone is proud of. Our varied experiences means we know how to get a plan through committees and approved by the church members.

When creating a plan for renovations, it’s also important to take into account not only what your needs are today, but your plans for future expansion. Putting the forethought in at the beginning of the project saves time and money as you grow.

Our services include space planning for the altar area. This is especially important for many churches today with the growth of music, musical instruments, choir and the needs for this space to be flexible.
We also study foot traffic flow and are conscious of wheelchair accommodations.

The right application of products for individual church settings.

As we get into specifics, once again experience is crucial in knowing where and why certain items fail. Frequently designers specify products that may look good but aren’t functional or durable for the church setting. Carpet that may be great for a school or a commercial building doesn’t necessarily make it the right fit for your church. Some furnishings may look great, but don’t last long. All the materials we specify are built to last. Some even come with a lifetime warranty!

Once all the necessary information is reviewed, we’ll create a complete renovation plan. This plan will include detailed blueprints and full color renderings to show exactly what your church will look like. The plan would include the specs for all equipment, materials and a projected renovation schedule.

Our design experience is in renovating churches, not building new. This specific focus combined with our vast experience means Fredrick & Emily’s is the right choice for your next project.
