St. Charles First Assembly of God Church Project Size: 70,000 square feet The building previously housed an automobile dealership. The church initially planned to add onto their existing facility which would require a parking garage. Upon preliminary budgeting and feasibility study performed by JHOOKER, it was determined that a new location would be more cost effective. A new property was identified and renovated to accommodate the growing congregation. The project consisted of the complete demolition of the interior of the existing dealership. Four columns were removed and the existing beams were “hung” from a new 75’ span beam that was installed on the roof. This allowed for the sanctuary to be housed within the service garage area.     Faith Christian Fellowship Faith Christian Fellowship included a 20,000 square foot addition and a 12,000 Square Foot interior remodel using a MEP design build approach for design and construction. The sanctuary has a seating capacity for 1100 people. A key feature of this project is the upgraded lobby and the creation of a “Main Street” to create an area for fellowship and member interaction. By using the design build approach we were able to perform an extensive design review, examine constructability methods and create a savings to the church of $900,000.     Calvary Church West Project Size: 18,000 square feet The project is located on 40 acres in a flood plain. The building and parking areas were raised approximately 8 +/- feet to accommodate the flood plain. The facility is a pre-engineered structure with masonry and EIFS façade. A complete fire protection system with holding tank and fire pump were included in the project.     Morning Star Church Morning Star Church is located in O’Fallon, Missouri. This 28,000 square foot ($3,500,000) new church is a hybrid building using a combination of pre-engineered structural steel, masonry and insulated metal panels. JHOOKER facilitated the design and constructability review and value engineering for the project resulting in savings to the church.     Crossroads Freewill Baptist Church Project Size: 4,860 square feet Project consists of a one-story wood framed structure that is approximately 4,860 square feet in size. The exterior facade is masonry with a shingle roof. Site concrete, asphalt paving, site grading and utilities are included. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing design build.     Newstead Ave. Missionary Baptist Church Project Size: 14,000 square feet Newstead Ave. Missionary Baptist Church is located in the heart of the St. Louis historic district. The project includes the addition of a multi-purpose room which will be used for a gymnasium, youth ministries, and food/pantry area. The existing sanctuary will be completely renovated. In updating the building to current standards, great care is being taken to preserve the distinct architectural features of its original design.     Prospect Hill Baptist Church A new addition and remodel of the existing sanctuary was completed in 2004. Great care was required in constructing the facility in order not to disturb the adjoining structure and neighboring properties.     New Covenant Church New Covenant Church is a 5500 square foot design build wood frame structure. The seating capacity for the new church is 200. In addition, all mechanical and electrical systems were design build to provide cost-effective solutions. Additional scope of work included all site work and utilities.     Celebration Church Celebration Church is a 6500 square foot wood frame construction with architectural EIFS. The mechanical and electrical systems were design build. The design of the church included a 200 person sanctuary, additional classrooms and a café area.     Midwestern Missionary Baptist Church Construction project consisted of a new annex and new gymnasium to Midwestern Missionary’s current building.     New Beginnings Lutheran Church A new 6,000 sf facility was constructed for New Beginnings in Pacific, Missouri. The building consists of a pre-engineered structure with an EIFS and metal siding exterior. Site improvements include the installation of new parking areas, site utilities and grading as required for the new addition.     Union Ave. Christian Church Project Size: 20,000 square feet This project consisted of the renovation of a historical landmark. Union Avenue Christian Church was built in 1908 and the sanctuary was completely renovated in 2007. JHOOKER Construction also added a new orchestra pit for the Union Avenue Opera. Great care was taken to maintain the historical beauty and integrity of this church sanctuary with a focus on preserving its unique style and design.     Believer's Temple Word Fellowship This design build 25,000 square foot multi-purpose church is the first phase of a multi-purpose/ fellowship building expansion program for Bishop Scott’s Believers Temple Word Fellowship. This project included a 8,500 square foot combination sanctuary and multi–purpose room with a seating capacity for 750 people. Included in the design was 15 classrooms for adult and children ministries. To enhance the function of the church a full service kitchen was designed into the building. In addition the upper level includes a walking track. All mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems were design build. The building structure is a pre-engineered metal with a combination of metal siding, brick veneer and EIFS exterior.     Chapel of the Lake As the selected design builder on this project we are providing extensive pre-construction services for the church. Services include site feasibility studies, budgeting and estimating, value engineering, constructability review and scheduling. Based on our early findings the church has secured another property that best fits their future growth needs. As the design builder our goal was to provide the church with the best information to facilitate their decision process. Presently we are moving into conceptual design of the church on the newly purchased property with an anticipated construction start of early 2007.
