Vital Seed is able to help local churches and church networks plan and procure designs and contractors for their new building projects.
It is our experience that many, many church projects are started with insufficient planning and without the correct resources and expertise. Local church build teams/ comities often fail to understand the complexity and processes in procuring new buildings. We have first hand experience of $100,000s of waste due primarily to poor advice, poor decisions at an early stage and inexperienced personal leading the project. This waste is not just damaging to the local church's budget, but even more so to the advancement of God's Kingdom.

- Defining the team required for success
- Extracting the projected needs of the new facility from the churches departments as required
- Outlining the many options in types of building construction available
