CLIENT OBJECTIVES
At PSA, we take pride in understanding our clients’ unique needs and delivering tailored solutions that exceed their expectations. In this particular case, our client was a church that had previously shared a building with another congregation. However, it aspired to have its own dedicated space – a place where it could not only worship but also generate additional income by renting it out to the community.
It envisioned creating a versatile venue that could accommodate worship services, events, and an office. Crucially, it required a scalable room that could adapt to different event sizes, complete with cutting-edge audio-visual capabilities. Ensuring the safety and security of all visitors while adhering to building regulations was paramount. However, achieving all this within a tight budget presented a significant challenge.
OUR SOLUTION
Through an in-depth briefing with the church committee, PSA’s experts thoroughly understood the client’s requirements.
Our design incorporated:
- Sustainable systems like energy-efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation.
- Lighting
- Power
- Plumbing
- Audio-visual systems
A key feature was a flexible space that could expand or condense by removing fixed pews, accommodating larger groups with ample ventilation or creating an intimate setting for smaller gatherings.
Despite site access challenges on a steep hill, our team skilfully executed the mechanical and electrical plan. The outcome was a warm, inviting, multi-purpose facility completed on time and within budget constraints.
THE OUTCOME
The end result was a warm, inviting, and highly flexible space where families and communities of all shapes and sizes could congregate under one roof. Not only did we deliver the project on time, but we also achieved it within the client’s tight budget constraints.
