New Church Building Designing & Renovations

Planning a new church?
Do you want you new church to sound great?

Acoustics for a new church or a renovation is not about selling products or devices. Acoustics is about changing the way you build the sanctuary without changing the materials. It is the know how of building the same walls, windows and ceiling, but building them better - building them differently.

For a new church, buying acoustics is about paying for the right information to avoid the pitfalls which turns a potentially good building into a disaster. Most new church designs that churches bring to Architect are most often good designs. Some are even great designs. This is the best time to get acoustical help and even help for the original design.

As an independent acoustical and sound system consultant, I get to work with churches in all stages of their life cycle. I have compiled a very extensive array of church design details where there is no need to second guessing what works and what doesn't. The information JdB Sound Acoustics can bring to the table often leads to cost saving worth 3 to 10 times the fees for designing and consulting. How is this possible? By Experience and by including a proven old fashioned design technique that has long been forgotten yet it is cutting edge technology because of the advancements of building techniques and building materials. Today we can design spaces that our forefathers could only dream about.

A key step in sanctuary design is shaping the worship space layout on your actual style of worship. Designing a new church from scratch often costs less than taking someone else's design and modifying it for your needs. How often have church boards toured many other sanctuaries, added their design ideas to their new church to only learn later that they copied the same mistakes?

In the end, designing a church around acoustics actually costs less. Designing a church in the absence of acoustical guidance and then adding acoustical features later costs more. This is why it is so important to hire an acoustical consultant right away. JdB Sound Acoustics has gone one step further. They have included building design to the details needed for an Architect to complete the engineering of a church that will me your needs, your mission and your vision within the local community.

Here is a sample project. The exterior of the church is a collaboration of the final look.

Below is the beginning of the interior design by JdB Sound Acoustics and to be engineered by a local Architect. This church will sound like a Cathedral and behave like a modern contemporary worship space. Yet the shell of this church is a prefab metal building.
