This is a unique and hopefully fun way to discover what your church building budget should be. Simply answer these key questions. Don't worry if you don't know the exact answer—give us an estimation if you'd like. Or you can tell us you don't know. The more accurate you are with the answers, the closer we will be with your cost estimation. Oh, and by the way, this isn't done with some automated web magic—this information goes to one of the NACDB's national network of professional estimators who will use their knowledge of your specific location and current building material costs to formulate what this should cost. Allow a few days for us to get back to you—we'll email it to the email you list below. Let us know if you have any questions with this.
