Since building our first religious facility in 1919, life-changing cultural and religious centers have been a key part of our legacy. We have diverse experience serving as construction managers for more than 60 churches and religious institutions. Our experience spans new buildings as well as expansions and renovations.
We understand each facility supports a significant mission to make a positive and long-lasting impact in the lives of community members, and we share this passion with our partners.
We also recognize the sacred and personal nature of each building and are sensitive to the complexities of a worship project. Our team will ensure your project is completed to the standards and requirements of your ministry. Our highly qualified planning and construction experts will engage with church leaders and provide expertise related to cost, constructability and scheduling that help the ministry remain accountable to members while we serve as good stewards of the allocated funds.
“I have worked with other General Contractors and Christman is by far the best. They were very well organized, communicated well, and came under budget!”
