Services Interior Design We believe that Interior Design actually begins in the parking lot. What is the person attending church expecting to see when they enter your place of worship? Is the signage adequate for directing visitors to your facility? When they enter your worship space do they immediately see what is important to you? Designing a space where we meet and worship our God is an awesome yet exhilarating responsibility. Voorhees Design can develop an interior
design "master plan" for
your church, fellowship hall, administration and educational facilities
with the interior finishes and colors that will produce a coordinated
look for present and future needs. We work with architects and
other consultants such as acoustians, lighting designers and
engineers. We speak their language. We are knowledgeable in codes
and regulations. We are budget oriented and can work on projects
ranging from small renovations to historical restorations or
new construction. Voorhees Design will ask the right questions
to help you discern the design
vision that is appropriate for you. |
Liturgical Consulting Liturgical worship is more than just words. It is the language of theology and prayer, music and preaching; it is the language of space, movement and community interaction. Whether processing change to an existing facility or developing a new building, there are times when outside professional services are required. Cindy Evans Voorhees can assist congregations in sifting through
the myriad of decisions that need to take place during a building
process. She can advise in the formulation of a building committee,
selection of the architect and general contractor and guide in
the bidding and building process. Voorhees Design assists communities
by incorporating their particular worship style into a building
program that reflects their spiritual beliefs. |
Project Management At times a faith community needs someone to manage their construction project whether it is a remodel or new construction. Construction law can be an awesome responsibility. Collecting proof of insurance with an additional insured on the church's property is part of good management. Tracking '20-Day Preliminary Notices' for the purpose of labor and material releases can be intimidating if no one has this experience. Cindy Evans Voorhees has over twenty years experience in the construction industry and is a licensed general contractor. She has acted as the 'owner's representative' on several construction projects over the years. By offering project management to the company's professional services, it has alleviated the stress and conflict of the building process. Workshops, Seminars and Retreats A worshiping community should generally process and evaluate the changes that need to take place before they begin a building or renovation project. By hiring a professional neutral party to listen to the priorities and perspectives within the community and decipher their goals and objectives, the community can achieve consensus and alleviate conflict. Cindy Evans Voorhees has conducted a variety of workshops, seminars and retreats to assist church leadership in education, master planning and strategic planning by taking the fear and mystery out of the building process. These sessions answer questions such as:
Voorhees Design can customize a workshop, seminar or retreat to
help you address your current and future needs to optimize the
outcome of your building project. |
