INTRODUCTION
COMPANY PROFILE
Armko Industries, Inc. is a Texas based Architectural/Engineering firm incorporated in January
1983 that specializes in roof consulting. Armko has been profitable every year it has been in
business and has a record of steady growth in both its client base and quality of personnel.

initial inspection to the specifications, plans and details, bid package, and provide quality
assurance to the final completion of the project.
Armko Industries, Inc. has specified over 150 million square feet of roofing in Texas for more
than 29 years. We have worked with over 450 school districts, universities and Jr. Colleges in
the State of Texas and provided quality control for over 6,000 projects in the public and private
sectors including manufacturing plants, hospitals, colleges, universities, school districts, and
other public entities, including various state agencies.
Our competitive level is attested to by our track record, longevity and continuing relationships
over the long-term with our clients. Having competent, professional, and technically-oriented
people, Armko does the things necessary to ensure successful projects. However, if a problem
does arise, it is addressed immediately and resolved.
Our roof and wall plans and illustrated details are completed via use of the most recent version
of AutoCAD by our Computer Design Specialists. Our specifications are CSI based and
prepared by our specification specialist, architect and roof consultants. Also, Armko is well
versed in the local, state and national building codes and ordinances.
Our services will include developing a calendar of events from the issuance of the design
standard to the project award date so that all parties will know and understand the exact dates
that will be set to meet the time frame required by the Owner in order to meet the project
deadlines.
Communication between the Owner and/or their representatives is of the utmost importance to
provide a quality set of construction documents for the public bid process.

We allow the existing conditions of the roof dictate the specifications that, along with the details,
are tailored for that particular roofing project. We understand viable alternatives and the initial
and long-term costs of those alternatives.
The fact that we are an Architectural/Engineering firm that has specialized in roofing for over
29 years is unique in itself. Our expert team of architectural, engineering and technical staff is
the key to providing solutions to tough building envelope and waterproofing problems and
delivering a successful project to the client quickly, efficiently, within budget and on schedule.
This is our commitment that drives our success.

McKinney, Texas
DESIGN TEAM
BACKGROUND
Concept for Project Staffing
BCDM Architects has assembled a Team of
highly qualified individuals that have extensive expertise in various phases of planning
and design for religious facilities for our
Catholic Church clients. It is important to
note that each firm has additional personnel
available to your project at various stages
and bring a combined total manpower of
more than 100 people. In an effort to
ensure each member of our Team is able to
most effectively participate in the project
being proposed by St. Gabriel the Archangel,
we have established the following Concept
for Project Staffing:
BCDM Architects
BCDM will serve as the Prime Architect,
responsible for management, planning, and
design leadership throughout each phase of
the project. This Leadership will be provided
through the ongoing involvement of Jim
Dennell, our assigned Principal-In-Charge as
well as Kevin Strehle, our assigned Project
Manager. Jim will lead the programming and
master planning efforts as the Project
Architect (designer) of all liturgical components of the project with involvement from
the other consultants that are part of the
Team as appropriate for the level of detail in
the programming process at the particular
point in time.
Jim Dennell, AIA, LEED AP will provide programming, design, and cost control leadership on the project. He has performed in
these capacities on many of the Catholic
Church projects undertaken by BCDM as
well as many educational projects. Mr.
Dennell is intimately familiar with the philosophies of “Built of Living Stones” and the
“General Instruction of the Roman Missal.”
St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church
will not have to educate Mr. Dennell on
Catholic Worship. Jim’s understanding of the
Catholic faith and how to integrate elements
of spirituality into a project are instrumental
components of achieving consensus during
the design and capital campaign phases. His
Catholic understanding also negates the
need to include a dedicated Liturgical
Consultant in the planning and design process at an additional expense to the parish.
Kevin Strehle, ASLA will serve as the Project
Manager for the St. Gabriel project. Mr.
Strehle has an educational background in
architecture as well as education and professional practice expertise as a landscape
architect-making him ideally suited for his
role as Project Manager. Mr. Strehle will be
responsible for coordinating schedules of
our in-house staff as well as maintaining
communication among our engineering consultants. Kevin has served in a similar capacity on past religious and educational projects
for BCDM as outlined throughout our proposal.
Kevin will have an active role in our Team’s
Permit Approval process – ensuring the St.
Gabriel project does not encounter any
zoning, height restriction or code difficulties.
Mr. Strehle has already begun the dialogue
with city officials in McKinney and understands there is a high degree of design
review required to achieve project approval.
We are committed to maintaining open
communication with the city of McKinney.
He will be involved, together with the civil
engineers from Baird, Hampton and Brown
in developing an efficient and sustainable site
planning solution – including the incorporation of outdoor spiritual gardens that will
allow parishioners to begin their spiritual
journey immediately upon entering the project site. Tom is passionate about creating
outdoor learning environments and spiritual
gardens that utilize native plant materials in
a manner that provides educational value as
well as minimizes maintenance. Tom’s creativity in designing for tight site conditions
will produce a variety of design solutions
that will meet the needs of St. Maximilian
Kolbe in a manner that is harmonious with
the surrounding neighborhood
Bob Mabrey, AIA, REFP will provide educational planning and design input as appropriate for St. Gabriel’s future planning. In
talking with Kevin Bird in advance of com-
pleting our RFQ response, we have learned
that St. Gabriel may, at some point in the
future, add a school to their existing campus.
Mr. Mabrey is a Recognized Educational
Facility Planner (REFP) as designated by the
Council of Educational Facility Planners
International (CEFPI) – one of only 268 such
recognized professionals in the United
States, Australia and Canada. This expertise
will allow him to efficiently identify for St.
Gabriel, the appropriate amount of detail
regarding a future school to ensure the
placement on your campus of the new
“Place of Worship” does not hinder future
development possibilities.
Mr. Mabrey is also a certified strengths
coach – using the faith based “Living Your
Strengths” program developed for use by
religious organizations. His leadership abilities will be utilized as appropriately to assist
in consensus building throughout the process. It is further our understanding that
Kevin Bird will be initiating the strengths
training program with the St. Gabriel Parish
Building Committee.
Charlsi Kratina, IIDA is the in-house Interior
Designer for BCDM and will work closely
with Jim Dennell as well as St. Gabriel’s interior design subcommittee to develop many
of the interior details. She will be involved
in selection of materials, furnishings, and artwork to ensure the completed facility is
designed as an integrated whole. Charlsi is
very conscious of selecting materials which
include sustainable characteristics such as
low VOC and utilizing adhesives that are not
harmful to the environment. Charlsi will
have an instrumental role in our Team’s
design and coordination of liturgical art.
Steve Mainelli is BCDM’s Construction
Manager. During the programming and
design phases for St. Gabriel, he will work
closely with Kevin Bird and the entire design
team. He will provide constructability
reviews and offer alternatives that might be
deemed more cost-effective. Mr. Mainelli’s
involvement in the early stages will reduce
coordination issues and potential change
7
orders during construction-all paramount to
a successful IPD process. He will also assist
in the Redi-Check process. Steve Mainelli
will provide leadership during the
Construction Administration Phase. He will
review all shop drawings for specialty religious items, etc. BCDM anticipates routine
site visits to be coordinated effectively with
the chosen construction manager to avoid
duplication of efforts and costs.
Baird, Hampton & Brown
Baird, Hampton & Brown (BHB) will be
responsible for 100% of the mechanical/electrical engineering analysis and design.
Building systems are very important in the
design of religious facilities – giving added
attention to the importance of quiet
mechanical systems, manageable control systems, integration of technology and the
importance of utilizing “lighting as art.” They
will assign costs to the required systems to
assist St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic
Church in making decisions. BHB is located
in Fort Worth, Texas to ensure superior
coordination with BCDM. The BHB engineers are committed to sustainability as evidenced by the number of individuals within
their firm who have received recognition as
L.E.E.D. accredited professionals.
BHB will also provide civil engineering services on the St. Gabriel project. Their
understanding of the expansive soil conditions in McKinney will be important as
BCDM’s structural engineer, Brian Klare, P.E.
designs structural systems that are structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.
The engineers from BHB will also work with
BCDDM in developing fire sprinkler system
designs that meet their functional purpose
and are also aesthetically pleasing – this
requires an attitude of collaboration.
Baird, Hampton and Brown are part of the
BCDM Team on Holy Cross Catholic
Church in Frisco, Texas and we have found
them to be a well-qualified partner who is
committed to working as part of an integrated Team.
Electro Acoustics and Acoustic Design
Associates
Chris Jordan and Bill Johnson of Electro
Acoustics and Acoustic Design Associates
respectively have worked together on many
religious facilities, including Catholic Church
projects. In any new worship facility, both
sound and audio/visual are important components of the design to create a proper
balance between the spoken word and
music ministries.
Both firms provide their services in a designbuild environment on most projects – providing them exceptional understanding of
the principles of Integrated Project Delivery
as desired for St. Gabriel.
These two firms have provided initial consultation to BCDM Architects in the development of the master plan for Holy Cross
Catholic Church and school in Frisco, Texas.
Armko Industries
At the urging of Kevin Bird, BCDM
Architects has included Mr. Ray Stringer of
Armko Industries to consult with our Team
in regard to building envelope waterproofing,
etc. Mr. Stringer is performing in a similar
capacity for St. Francis of Assisi in Texas.
The exact scope of Armko’s involvement will
be determined jointly with Kevin Bird and St.
Gabriel’s Parish Building Committee. In general, their services may include design input
and subsequently thorough review of the
construction documents as they relate to
envelope waterproofing – making recommendations on design enhancements.
Armko will be available to coordinate with
the Construction Manager in the development of a building mock-up of the envelope
– taking into consideration insulation, waterproofing and water testing.
Ray is a licensed architect and truly understands the importance of effective integration of his services with the entire project
Team.

DOCUMENTS GUIDING
DESIGN
Documents Guiding Design
BCDM Architects, more specifically Jim
Dennell, has immersed himself in the tenets
of both “Built of Living Stones” and the
‘General Instruction of the Roman Missal”
(2011 updated version) to ensure he fully
understands and comprehends the intent of
these documents as they relate to designing
new “Places of Worship” that support the
liturgy.
“One of the most significant and formative
experiences in the life of a parish community is the process of building or renovating
a church. As part of that process, parish
members are called upon to study the
Church’s teaching and liturgical theology
and to reflect upon their personal pieties,
their individual tastes, and the parish history. By bringing together these personal and
ecclesial elements in faith and in charity,
parishioners help to build a new structure
and to renew their parish community.”
~ Built Of Living Stones
As we have detailed throughout our proposal, BCDM Architects and our individual professionals take very seriously the opportunity given to us on past Catholic Church projects to both educate and evangelize
throughout the planning and design process.
The above listed documents are tools we
utilize to give substance to the teachings we
work to impart on parishioners and others
involved in the process.
In all instances, BCDM Architects provides
leadership to our Catholic Church clients –
guiding them through the various design
solutions available so parish representatives
can make the most informed decision possible for their local faith community and associated culture.

BCDM
Religious Design
Building Church Community while
Building Churches
BCDM facilitates a faith-based project
development process that gathers input
from the church community-at-large and
provides the leadership necessary to develop consensus and results in building a stronger church community while also building a
church facility.
Good Stewards of the Land
Our design team creates site and building
designs for our clients that foster responsible stewardship of the natural resources
God has granted to each of us. We accomplish this through the use of sustainable
materials, efficient building systems and the
design of outdoor spaces that are an extension of the overall worship experience.
Design that Enhances Ministries
The BCDM design team develops aesthetically pleasing, functional, cost-effective
design solutions that enhance the ministry
programs that are unique to the specific
faith traditions of our clients. Our designs
have been recognized at local, regional and
national levels.
Vision Creation resulting in Capital
Campaign Success
The ability of the BCDM team to create a
spiritually uplifting vision of the proposed
worship, fellowship and educational environments has resulted in unparalleled capital
campaign success - we have never been
involved in a Catholic church campaign that
did not meet its financial goals.
Balance of Design and Technical
Abilities
BCDM assembles a design team for each
project capable of providing a balance of
professional services, incorporating aweinspiring design solutions that are also technically correct. A successful worship environment is spiritually uplifting, provides
exceptional acoustics that enhance both
music and the spoken word and utilizes lighting as art to create the sense of spirituality.
Catholic Diocese Experience
BCDM Architects has successful Catholic
church projects in fourteen different states,
including Texas, for seventeen Dioceses
across the country. Our work encompasses
more than 70 completed projects. At the
current time, we have 14 church projects in
the Capital Campaign phases - some of
whom are raising funds for Phase II projects
associated with BCDM master planning
efforts.

Holy Cross challenged BCDM to design a
Master Plan that respects the site’s natural
character, is not dominated by huge parking
areas, and uplifts the church as the campus’s
focal point. The 32.2 acre site is characterized by a 6.5 acre wetland within a rolling
native landscape. The master plan accommodates 225,000 SF of building area, including:

central church courtyard overlooking site

The proposed solution is designed to create
a sense of pilgrimage to the church. A
prayer walk symbolizes Christ’s path to
Golgotha, journeying through the native
landscape to an outdoor Stations of the
Cross plaza, and ascending steps to the main
church courtyard. The main church access
drive allows a departure from the busy traffic on Lebanon Road to the place of worship, meandering through the natural
landscape and climbing the hill to reveal the
church atop the slope. Parking is concealed
from the street by campus buildings and in
dispersed around the site in landscaped
The campus buildings all focus toward the
church, which is themed to reflect the “Holy
Cross” name. A prominent entry tower and
portal mark the entry into the outreaching
arms of the gathering space through special
processional doors. A cross-shaped
Baptismal Font then welcomes parishioners
into the Place of Assembly. The church’s
seating is arranged in a “deep-U” configuration with curved pews and is covered by a
cruciform-shaped roof and lantern over the
altar. The church’s exterior – clad in native
Texas stone – is of a color and texture reminiscent of the Via Dolorosa, and creates the
design language for the village-like campus.
Phase One Schematic Design is currently
underway. The Phase One project design
includes a majority of the site’s development
(including grading, drives, parking, site utilities, pond area ball field, and landscaping),
the Rectory, the Outdoor Storage building,
and a portion of the future School building
to be utilized in Phase One as a multi-purpose structure that houses the full range of
the parish’s ministry functions. This Phase
One building includes a spacious Place of
Gathering and 800 seat Place of Assembly,
liturgical support spaces, Music/ Choir practice space, Parish Hall with meeting/ conference spaces and kitchen, Youth ministry
space, Food Pantry ministry space, Parish
Offices, Educational Office space, and
Religious Education classroom spaces that

The St. Francis Xavier site is a very challenging, long and narrow, downtown Phoenix site.
Traffic issues on the site are a concern, with
multiple pedestrian/vehicular conflict points
resulting from a shared central parking area.
There is also an impression that the parish
has lost prominence over time and that the
church is secondary to the site.
The proposed master plan seeks to restore
the prominence of the parish, re-focusing
on the church as the symbolic center of
the campus.
Objectives include:





Restoration of the church and parish as
the focal point and "unifier" of the campus
Resolve current traffic flow and parking
issues between neighboring entities
Remove pedestrian/ vehicular conflicts
on campus
Create a new SFX "Education Center"
to house a 2-unit elementary school and
religious education classrooms for English
and Spanish curriculum
Create a new SFX "Parish Center" to
house social and meeting spaces, parish
offices, and related support spaces
The proposed solution:

Removes internal vehicular drives from
the campus, forcing all drives to the
perimeter and making central campus
entirely pedestrian



Creates the new SFX Education Center to
east of the existing school, allowing the
existing school to remain fully functional
throughout demolition and construction.
The new 2-level Education Center is
organized around a central courtyard
which opens to the west.
Removes the existing rectory/ parish
offices complex to expose the entire east
elevation of the church, and create a new
outdoor gathering court, or "Placita", as
the symbolic gathering point for the entire
parish and campus
A symbolic walk symbolizing St. Francis
Xavier's missionary journey buffers
parking and connects the church to the
Education Center. Interpretive plaques,
shade structures, gardens and small side
courts relating to future parish facilities
will enliven the walk and unify the
campus. 

The purpose of the shrine is to provide an
opportunity for people to develop and discover the Catholic faith. Often, the faith is
seen with the convoluted influences that distort its origin and intents; this secluded place
allows for the discovery of Catholicism without such outside distractions.
Upon entry to the site, visitors experience a
natural prairie setting. Once inside the entry
portal, the visitor is drawn to a central,
tomb-like room naturally lit by a large light
opening in the roof. In the center of the
room is a pool of water, the source of which
is dripping from a metal sculpture symbolic
of the Holy Spirit. Also in this space is a
conference and gathering room and an information area.
The chapel structure itself is 45 feet at its
highest point, made of arching members of
wood and steel. As visitors enter the chapel,
the water from the entry portal does as
well, further symbolizing the presence of the
shroud of Christ. Etched in a prominent
piece of glass at the front of the chapel is an
image of the Holy Family. With an open
view of the prairie and river valley beyond,
this image appears like spirits in heaven.
carved into the natural grasses, the effect
being a very serene setting.
A cluster of small residences will be located
on the lower section of the site for retiring,
religious and retreat purposes. Also, a
retreat shelter will be located on an isolated
section of the site for groups to gather and
discover their faith. 
Future Development
Another portion of the site will be the
walking trails, built into the natural prairie
landscape. This will be to provide a path for
pilgrims to walk physically as they journey
spiritually. Again, the water stream trickles
into the area as a constant reminder of the

Building Consensus
Comprehensive Master Plan of a
Large, Traditional Parish
In 1996, BCDM began working with
Fremont’s St. Patrick’s Parish to develop a
detailed Master Plan for the next 50-to-75
years. St. Patrick’s had long-since outgrown
its 100-year old original church and was in
need of new facilities to accommodate not
only worship, but also fellowship and educational activities.
Retaining the Parish History
Once it was determined that the original
400-seat St. Patrick’s could not realistically
be expanded into a 1,100 seat church, the
parish focused its concern toward designing
and constructing a semi-traditional new
building on a new site. The Parish wanted a
new church whose architecture, both inside
and out, made a statement of Catholic tradition. BCDM’s design solution incorporated
both the rich tradition of the Catholic
Working with the Building Committee and
the Parish’s Fund-Raising Consultants, the
architects of BCDM developed a schedule of
several consensus building activities. For
example, very early in the planning process
the architects sat outside of each Sunday
Mass to give the Parish-at-Large a chance to
visit with them individually. This was done
before any project decisions were made, and
gave everyone the chance to provide input
to the planning process.

Later, as the Master Plan was being developed, regular “Town Hall” meetings were
held where literally hundreds of parishioners
gathered to hear the architects present their
findings to date, ask questions, and offer
comments regarding the direction of the
Master Plan. In time, diverse opinions of
project goals merged toward a common
vision through the process of consensus
building.
The Design
The Nave floor plan is an innovative cruciform plan in which the traditional cruciform
proportions are widened to create a sense
of "one community around the altar," reduce
distances between the rear pews and the
altar, and maintain the historical sense of a
cruciform plan.
Two levels of upper clerestory windows
bring natural light into the upper column of
the space to create an uplifting, spiritual
environment.
The Weekday/Reservation Chapel doubles as
overflow space to add 100 additional seats
for heavily attended liturgies. 

There is a strong connection between the details, furnishings, light fixtures, and the windows. They all express a variation of a geometric
theme. The exposed, skeletal structure in the existing building is celebrated, and expressed throughout. The exposed structure in the new
space reflects the marriage of new and old in a fashion that is complimentary. There are creative ways of admitting light throughout. Overall,
this is an interesting transformation of an older building.

Master Planning
BCDM was retained by St. Patrick Catholic
Church in Gretna to formulate a Master
Plan for their growing parish. The Master
Plan included expanding their current
Church from 200 to 950 seats, adding a
lower level, Fellowship Hall and Church
Offices. Provisions were also made for
phasing the project so that the Fellowship
Hall can be finished at a later date as the
parish continues to grow. The Church addition, Religious Education Center and Small
Offices comprised Phase I. Phase 2, scheduled for construction in 2010, will contain
the Fellowship Hall, expanded Offices and
added Classrooms. A full 5-day Elementary
School and Pre-School are planned for the
long-range future as Phase 3.

allowing natural sunlight to penetrate into the new nave. Two

courtyards will be used as additional outdoor rooms for various religious and social functions, as well as spontaneous social
interaction. 

The Prescott Valley, Arizona Parish of St.
Germaine was at a crossroads in planning
for their future facilities when they selected
BCDM to design a new Masterplan for their
current site. Growth in their Parish population was severely taxing their limited site
and building; yet the people preferred to, if
possible, develop and expand their present
home rather than move to a new site.
Additional refinements are being studeied in
order to break the Master Plan into multiple
phases, with the first phase to begin as soon
as possible and take advantage of lowered
construction costs.
The architectural style selected to unify the
campus is a merger of historic mission style
and the vernacular architecture of the
Prescott Valley area. 
The property was landlocked, surrounded by
residential properties and public streets.
Reuse and modification of the existing buildings, making them an integral part of the
Master Plan, was important in order to
reduce costs.
Several alternative design solutions were
prepared, one of which involved the creative
relocation of a dajacent street in order to
improve traffic flow, expand the site size and
increase visibility of the new church as the
focal point of the site. Existing buildings will

PROJECT APPROACH
Project Approach
Our Approach to Catholic
Church Process
Understanding of Catholicism
BCDM Architects are blessed to be involved
in building the Catholic Church community.
Although we are architects, we are Catholics
and Christians first. Our firm is convicted in
building faith along with structures. Three of
the four of our directors are strong practicing Catholics and our fourth is a devout
Christian that embodies the principles of the
Catholic faith. The proposed team is also
practicing Catholics that have worked on
several Catholic churches together and consider the building process as a personal ministry to evangelize and educate all those
involved. At BCDM we are open about our
faith. The exposure of our staff to the evangelization and education opportunities of
our process have become instruments which
have converted staff to the Catholic Church
as well as producing a Deacon and most
recently a seminarian. It is paramount
that the process is built with living
stones, the parishioners of St Gabriel
the Archangel. This will be one of the
most significant and formative experiences in the life of your parish community. BCDM will serve as to bridge the
world of the visible with the mysterious
invisible that endures across generations.
All come to the table with good will but we
must be aware that the devil wants equal
time, so it is critical that the community be
balanced with prayer. All will have varying
levels of understanding of the liturgy. The
process of building worship spaces affords a
perfect opportunity to educate people what
the Catholic Church teaches and thus deepen their sense of Catholic identity. This will
be even more special during this “Year of
the New Evangelization.”
Jim Dennell and Kevin Strehle have successfully been humble servants to facilitate this
significant and formative process on many
Catholic Church projects. Their exposure
to the Catholic faith from birth and as ministers in their parishes has formulated a
deep respect and understanding of the liturgy and the Church’s teachings. They credit
their contributions from God through the
power of prayer. It is so important to balance our temporal tendencies with the
works of the Holy Spirit. The ultimate
occurs when we die of ourselves and allow
God to direct.
Project Approach - Integrated Project
Delivery
BCDM has been involved in a variety of
unique construction delivery processes – we
are pioneers in creating an efficient and integrated process that reduces cost, increases
quality and reduces risk. We have used
Integrated Project Delivery that incorporates the owner, architect and contractor(s)
as one entity and the savings are shared proportionally. These include the Holy Family
Shrine and the Riley Building on the next
page.
43
Project Approach
Church Process
1) Holy Family Shrine
2) Riley Building
Both projects proved that when the owner,
architect and contractor shared risk, were
vested and integrated, the value of the project increased. Life cycle upgrades of materials and enhanced design were afforded by
eliminating redundant and non- essential
activities. Contracting and legal costs were
reduced, which allowed added savings. The
positive attitude and trust that developed
increased efficiency and quality and lowered
cost. The IPD delivery allowed all key
players to be involved in the initial
stages of the design. Cost, methods of
construction, anomalies of the building
type and local conditions were all discussed and vetted before major directions and decisions were made as a
team. Without the IPD process, initial
decisions are made by the architect without
the resource of the contractor. Many times,
after major investments of cost and time
have been made, the initial assumptions of
the architect are not accurate. As a result
designs are altered -with concessions. The
owner as a vested team member understands the value of making timely decisions
and being organized. The ability to delineate
expectations led to meeting expectations for
all.
The traditional sequences were redefined
when key players were involved and when
activities were performed. Key Contractors
were introduced to the project initially to
gain their expertise and to build ownership.
Architects and engineers were used during
construction for layout and to make final
decisions. Also, the team could procure
materials and contracts just in time to
improve schedule and costs. A variety of
contracting was utilized. Key contractors,
such as mechanical and electrical, were
negotiated and selected, while others were
bid. Contracts included lump sum cost to
cost plus to get the best pricing. We were
able to evaluate the best packaging of work
to get the best price and develop bid packages accordingly. In some cases, buying
direct and contracting labor was the most
practical. We were able to work directly
with artisans and coordinate with other
trades to gain customized design elements
at lower commodity pricing.
As much as we feel IPD is an ultimate delivery, we understand some in the industry
have not made the cultural transition. BCDM
has been instrumental in taking the principals of IPD and infusing them into more traditional deliveries.
Example 1 - Holy Spirit Catholic
Parish in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
At the time this project began, Design/Bid/
Build was a more accepted delivery. We
were able to convince the parish to select
the general contractor at schematic design
and utilize them as a Construction Manager
at Risk. The parish was fortunate to have an
experienced parishioner, which had just
retired from a major international construction firm to act as the owner’s representative. The selected Construction Manager and
their Project Manager were also parishioners. This team was immediately
bonded by Christ and the attitude and
trust followed as if this was an IPD
44
Project Approach
Church Process
contract. We were able to utilize all the
principals we learned from our past IPD
experiences. The guaranteed maximum
price was set after receiving quotes and bids,
which reduced the contractor’s cost risk
and decreased the overall cost to the owner.
Example 2 - St Joseph Catholic Parish
in Le Mars, Iowa
The LeMars design and construction community had an extremely traditional Design/
Bid/Build culture. To increase the benefits of the IPD principles, BCDM met
with the probable General
Contractors and reviewed the early
stages of the project to build their
ownership and gain perspectives of the
abilities, capacities and methods of
construction. We determined that there
was a wide range of quality among sub contractors. We suggested limiting selection to
prequalified contractors and suppliers
approved by us and the owner. This allowed
the General Contractors to reduce their
contingencies and select preferred subcontractors they wanted. The low-bid General
Contractor was a parishioner and the attitude and trust was immediate. The contractor was transparent with his costs and
equitably adjusted his initial bid to save costs
and improve quality.
Example 3 - St Vincent de Paul Parish
in Wildwood, Florida
This project is the result of a design/build
completion that BCDM Architects was
selected to design jointly with Emmett Sapp
Builders. This was the first Design/Build
construction delivery the Orlando Diocese
has undertaken – all in an attempt to meet
the Parish’s budget. The Parish and Diocese
had undergone a prior attempt to build the
project using a traditional design/bid/build
process that was over budget at the completion of the bid documents. Scrapping the
design, they opted to try the Design/Build
approach. Our BCDM/Emmett Sapp
Builders Team immediately utilized
the principles of IPD to develop a
design that integrated a team of
design professionals, contractors and
suppliers. The result was a design that
can be constructed for 33% less than
the previously designed project. The
use of Building Information Modeling (BIM)
accelerated the contractors bidding process
and gave them security in what they were
bidding. The REVIT model allowed bidders
to “virtually” build the project and suggest
economies to the project -resulting in a
design that not only was the lowest cost but
was the preferred design.
Our success with implementing IPD principles on many of our projects is due to our
ability to understand the integration of
design and construction. BCDM has acted
as Construction Manager as Agent on
numerous projects over the last 18 years.
The experience with Architect- Led CM
projects, along with having two Construction
Managers on staff, keeps us current with
costs, methods and materials of construction

Project Approach
Church Process
and innovative ways to streamline the design
and construction process. Our frequency
and volume of Catholic churches makes us a
great resource of data to our owners and
contractors when establishing opinions of
probable costs.
Whatever construction delivery is used, the
principals of Integrated Project Delivery are
the heart of BCDM’s process. Those principles include collaboration, communication
and integration-while leveraging technology.
The goal is to utilize the resources of the
team in the most streamlined and efficient
manner- adding value and decreasing cost
through the lifecycle of the built environment.
“Our Mission is to collaboratively lead those we serve in the creation of innovative environments,
using our God-given talents for the betterment of our communities.”

Project Approach
Church Projects
At BCDM we believe that a “standard,”
single approach to the involvement of
our Clients in the creative process does
not work. We strive to tailor each project to meet the specific needs and
desires of the individual Client.
We believe strongly in the “Minds of
Many” principle as a guide to finding
and developing the proper solution for
each project. If our firm is retained to
assist in developing a comprehensive
Vision for St. Gabriel The Archangel’s
facilities, we intend to search the minds
of your Pastoral Staff, Building
Committee, Subcommittees and a
broad cross-section of your Parish, then
blend those thoughts with ours to create a solution that best fits the needs of
St. Gabriel The Archangel.
“Plans fail when there is not
counsel, but they succeed when
counselors are many.”
Proverbs 15:22
In all projects, it is imperative that the
process focus on the following attributes:
 God-Centered
 Consensus Based
 Truthful
 Communicative
 Realistic
 Excited
The following is a summary of how we
would propose to orchestrate the planning and design for St. Gabriel The
Archangel.
Conceptualizing
(Programming)
Determining and defining expectations is the
key to programming. It is important for key
stakeholders to educate each other to the
level of their understanding.
Utilizing an integrated process throughout
the entire project is a goal for BCDM. We
feel it is critical to identify key stakeholders
and involve them at the earliest stages possible. For the owner this means those that
may campaign for or contribute to the project. It also should include those who will be
making final decisions, the users and those
will operate the facility. As for the constructor, this means having the Construction
Manager selected at the initiation of Master
Planning. The Design team will include key
consultants to confirm direction and build
ownership in the design. We also see the
value of including the Capital Campaign consultant during the master planning phase to
identify initial feasibility of giving and for
them to gain key project information they
may need for the campaign. Their expertise
throughout the master plan can play a big
part in developing a fund raising strategy at
the appropriate time. The master planning
process also cultivates leaders to execute
the campaign. Doing this as an integrated
Team saves time and reduces the risk of
burn-out the parishioners involved.
The beauty of integrating all stakeholders in
the process is the ownership and understanding people gain. While some individuals
may have no role in decisions -they are
allowed to understand the origin, direction
and goals of the design. This is also important for the users and operators of the facility. The success of any good design is how it
functions. If the design is based upon liturgical principles, it is important for ministers to
utilize the building in that way to realize
optimum performance. If sustainable principles are designed into the mechanical and
electrical systems, the ultimate success and
projected paybacks will be achieved when
these systems are operated according to
original design specifications.

Meeting Frequency
During the master planning phase we like to
personally meet as many people as possible,
as a group or individually (the flow chart
above details those meetings). We also like
to conduct GoTo meetings every week or
two with a core of decision makers
(Program Manager, Committee Chair(s),
Pastor, Director, Construction Manager) to
keep on task and build ownership. GoTo
meeting is an on line meeting platform that
the team can access to hear and view material in a live setting.
Once we begin the Design Development
through Construction Document phases we
like to meet weekly or bi-weekly to again
keep people on task and build ownership.
Scheduled meetings, conducted with purpose, leadership and agendas lead to efficiencies and reduce misunderstandings. The discipline of these meetings leads people out of
their silos and reinforces collaboration. The
frequency of these meetings allows information to be shared at critical times - increasing value and decreasing costs. People
become more accountable and more
productive when they interact more frequently.
Sustainability
At BCDM, we believe that accomplishing
design as an integrated system between the
site selections, architectural design and systems is an important part of each project
we undertake.
Some of the principles we will give consideration to during the planning and design of
the important St. Gabriel project includes:
 Greater value on associated life cycle
costs in addition to initial development
costs.
 Environmental responsibility as a sound
investment and a benefit to business
practice.
 Prioritization of the health and
psychological well-being of the individuals
in our built environment.

BCDM is proud to have designed the first
Catholic Church project registered for
LEED certification (Holy Spirit in
Bowling Green, KY). Although the owner
has not finalized their submittals, the first
Phase will be LEED silver. Many individuals
on our staff have achieved LEED accreditation. Long before it was required by code,
we were implementing sustainable principles
into our projects. Water-to-water heat
pumps to provide chilled and hot water to
fan boxes was one of the major energy
reduction measures incorporated into the
Holy Spirit project. This system allowed us
to “diversify the load” – taking full advantage
of the fact that the worship center and
other parts of the facility were not fully
occupied simultaneously. Since the waterto- water system acts as a central
source, we were able to reduce the
tonnage by 40%. This system design
decision not only lowered initial costs
but the life cycle gain was significant.
The St. Joseph Catholic Church in Le Mars
(IA) project, which included the same system, is seeing a $29,159 annual savings with
a projected payback of 4.2 years for incremental construction. The key is to
include innovative solutions that are
sustainable and at or below the cost of
a more traditional system design.
BCDM Principal Kevin Strehle is a landscape
architect with a supplemental educational
background in architecture - and is a great
resource to assure our projects have sustainable innovations that integrate site and building elements harmoniously.

Collaborative Leadership
Our Leadership has been the key to our
success and is truly a differentiator-knowing
the human dynamic along with an equal
understanding of the dynamics of the building process. A building process that is contiguous from master planning through construction to building operation results in
successful design solutions. As much as the
St. Gabriel project will be a building endeavor, it will be a human experience.
Collaborative leadership integrates the
human resources throughout the duration of the project. Appreciation,
understanding and patience for all
team members are vital to gain ownership and optimize the results of good
design. Inclusion of key stakeholders and
other design disciplines throughout the process enrich the possibilities of a design. As
leaders we feel it is our responsibility to set
the boundaries and help the team establish
goals. Leadership requires making people
accountable and telling them what needs to
be heard. Truth is at the center of leadership- which produces trust. Trust produces
openness and openness produces collaboration.
Education and Evangelization
The National Conference of Catholic
Bishops encourages education of the liturgy
and the Catholic teachings to be conducted
by the parish during the building process.
We feel it is a personal ministry to include
this education in our process. As
Catholics we see it as our responsibility to use the process to evangelize and
educate those involved about the liturgy and our faith. Before we begin programming and design we will educate those
involved on the principles of “Built of Living
Stones” issued by the National Council of
Bishops and the parallels of the liturgy, scripture, Church’s history and Her teachings as
they all relate to the “place of worship.”
Visual Programming
BCDM is proud of the development of our
“Visual Programming” process. We came to
the realization that our clients don’t always
know the size and scale of spaces and elements of Church design. With our depth of
projects, we are able to include examples of
different options available when developing
the program statement. The Visual
Program includes diagrams, pictures of
similar spaces and sizes, level of finish,
cost and several options to calculate
space size. The digital program
Includes definitions, enhanced descriptions and quotes from “Built of Living
Stones” and the “General Instruction
of the Roman Missal.” Once completed,
the program links our cost data to produce
initial budgets.
50
Project Approach
Our Approach to Catholic Church
Projects
Integrating the Capital Campaign
Consultant during Master Planning
Often the Capital Campaign Consultant
(CCC) is selected after master planning. We
see duplicate efforts are taken by the CCC
to gain knowledge and understanding of the
Parish. If the CCC is integrated into
the master planning they will be able
to optimize the number of touches
with the parish, while gaining firsthand
knowledge of the development of the
project. Combining the effort to gain the
information needed for the master plan and
the capital campaign at one time will reduce
the calendar days usually taken before funding is secured. The momentum established
from the master plan process seamlessly
continues into the capital campaign. This
integration will facilitate St. Gabriel’s goal of
moving into capital campaign as quickly as
possible, while providing a clear design of the
parishes needs, wants and associated costs better articulating the design and exciting
the parish.
Building Information Modeling
We will use REVIT as our BIM software to
create our designs. From the beginning, we
will be able view our ideas in 3-dimensional
forms. We will present live images of
the model and will be able to manipulate the model in any view to help the
stakeholders visualize exactly what is
proposed. This tool is extremely useful to
all design disciplines, bidders and constructors. We have found it invaluable during
design development to integrate systems and
materials in innovative, cost-effective ways.

Bid Package Review
At the completion of Design Development,
we will identify with the Construction
Manager, the probable bid packages and contracts. Once these are identified, we will
review the needed documentation for bidding and construction. This will assure
lowest costs and maximize efficiency,
while reducing requests for information (RFI’s) during construction. The
process of identifying the documents needed
stimulates the Construction Manager to virtually build the project before construction.
The Construction Manager will gain early,
intimate understanding of the project -when
value decisions can be optimized.

USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Use of Technology
Benefits of BIM Modeling
Modeling for Visual Aids
BCDM exclusively uses REVIT software for
BIM modeling for the design and production
of our projects. We have used it during
design to produce rendering quality
views and images. We constantly use the
model in our GoTo meetings, starting with
master planning and continuing through construction. The use of 3D drawings brings
people along in one- fourth the time of a 2D
drawing -with 100% accuracy. There is no
ambiguity in their expectation.
work in different packages for quick scope
verifications and complexity of work. During
construction we have used the model to
preview the work to be constructed and
communicate details better. These efforts
have optimized the contractors’ readiness
when commencing and sequencing construction. By virtually building their work, they
gain the experience as if they had built it
before.
There has been no down side to the technology. The efficiencies gained are greater
than the learning curve. Our learning curve
has reduced to nothing - allowing us to
make numerous enhancements on each
project we design. BIM is developing a new
culture as we reduce the 2-Dimensional
mentality to using 3D. Also, the culture is
transitioning from paper to digital. The up
side is the accuracy of modeling and preventing issues in the field. We have reduced
RFI’s to almost zero. Our time is now spent
enhancing design and increasing value to the
project instead of crisis management. The
finished product has increased noticeably.
Our change order/contingencies have
always been low but we have seen
them reduced by as much as 50%. One
of our most recent Catholic Church
projects (Design/Bid/Build) is being
dedicated in January and has change
order performance of less than 1% to
date. This is exceptional-particularly
given the necessary interface with
existing buildings.
We therefore highly recommend BIM technology and will use it to the highest levels
possible. The BIM technology supports
our integrated approach and is our
preferred way of executing our process. We have been able to develop new
possibilities and expand the uses of BIM for
each of our projects. For St Gabriel the
Archangel, that may include our recent
development of Linkman which links our
Consultant Use of BIM from
Baird, Hampton & Brown
Our consultants use Revit (BIM) and use it
through design to discover conflicts and
integrate systems. The ability to understand
the Church design is greatly reduced and
more time is spent on creating optimum
value than comprehending the design.
Contractor Use of BIM Model
We also provide the Construction Manager
with accurate quantities for budgeting. We
can filter elements in the model to highlight
52
Use of Technology
specification software SpecLink with our
modeling software Revit. The link is able to
populate data between the two. Thus, all the
objects placed in the model contain the
specification information of each specific
product. For example, by simply touching a
window component in the model, we will
see the specification and any information we
would like to add. Some information may
include the supplier’s contact information
and the type of glass. We see this
expanding the use of the model during
construction and continuing through
your operation of the facility. It also
quantifies how many of these windows are in
the model –providing a great tool for the
team during budgeting and confirmation of
bid packages. The other enhancement we
are developing is the expansion of the use of
the model for operational use. The REVIT
software contains viewing programs that can
be used by your staff-allowing you to access
the as-built information in the model. By
adding the operational data to the mechanical and electrical systems and equipment, the
building owner and maintenance staff will be
able to retrieve the required preventative
maintenance information throughout the life
of the building.
As-Built Drawings
The As-Built drawings are a data rich digital
model that can be loaded to a laptop or
Ipad. The As-Built drawings become a
one-stop center of information- replacing the rolls of drawings and reams of
paper of the past. Any notes or photos of
construction can be attached as a file and
keyed to the model. A click of the mouse
reveals the picture. Throughout construction, we will review with the CM and the
contractors the construction progress and
revise and add information to the model
each time.

PROJECT PROCEDURES
Project Procedures
Proactive Management of
Construction Communication
BCDM is proud to have a great record of
response during construction. Building our
own projects as Architect Led Construction
Management we understand how critical
timely response is. Therefore we anticipate
the time required by or staff to make them
available during construction. We reduce the
crisis by previewing work with all the stages
of work with the BIM model. We develop
a list of preconstruction issues associated with each phase of construction
to review and preempt questions. We
have found the use of the BIM model
has reduced RFI’s and Change orders.
We believe in controlling the issues before
they control us.
Tools for Managing your Project - From Design through Construction
BCDM’s approach to project management is to maximize the benefits which can be
derived from utilizing a variety of tools we have available to us, including:
A custom developed project checklist (derived from industry-wide best practices
and past lessons learned) to ensure all steps are executed in a deliberate and coordinated manner.
A resource planning software (Deltek) that identifies the available time of each
individual within our firm and the projects they are assigned to – allowing us to manage workload and effectively assign personnel to meet project objectives.
Use of Revit software as a Building Information Modeling (B.I.M.) tool to
increase 3-dimensional visualization of project elements, reduce coordination conflicts
and assist in project costing and scheduling.
A L.E.E.D. checklist that facilitates active dialogue among our design team and client groups to maximize sustainability alternatives – regardless of a client’s ultimate
desire to pursue formal L.E.E.D. certification.
Use of Timberline cost estimating software, to develop more detailed, accurate
cost estimates – eliminating surprises in project budgeting.
Execution of a Redi-Check Interdisciplinary Coordination System as part of a
comprehensive review of the documents and ensure effective interrelatedness of all
disciplines.
Use of the Submittal Exchange software to facilitate paperless communication
among all project stakeholders.






Additional Documentation
In the event RFI’s and ASI are needed we
produce these immediately if not the same
day and post them using a predetermined
communication platform such as Submittal Exchange. Submittal Exchange is a
collaborative, secure online system for
exchanging, reviewing and archiving
construction submittals, RFI’s, PCO, ASI’s
and other design and construction communication.

These tools will allow our Team to execute the processes and achieve the results
desired by St. Gabriel The Archangel.
Omitted Items
If information is left off the drawings and are
the result of an error on our part, we will
equitably contribute for the additional cost
of any non value added work.
Owner Provided Items
We know there will be owner provided
work that needs to be coordinated with the
construction and we will add and distinguish this work on the drawings. We
require that the parties involved in providing,
coordinating or installing the owner provided work participate in the preconstruction conference so it is understood how the
owner work and construction work can be
accomplished without impacting the cost or
schedule.

Honoring our Past; Building Our Future was
the Parish’s central theme as they undertook
the replacement of their existing worship
space, social hall and parish offices on the
site of the former Gehlen Catholic School.
The progression of faith begins as
parishioners enter the site and are greeted
by the statue of the church’s patron, St.
Joseph, and welcomed to worship by the
steeple, designed as a replica of one from the
old church, bells dating back to 1877 as well
as a clock welcoming people to worship and
prayer.
BCDM successfully blended contemporary
technologies with traditional styles of the
past - integrating as many elements from
the old church as possible, including the high

the 600-seat (expandable to 800) worship
space. A 6,700 s.f. social hall and 2,700 s.f.
office are visually connected to the worship
area by the four supporting legs of the
steeple.
The placement of the baptismal font on
axis with the altar is a reminder of the
connection between baptism and Eucharist
as sacraments of initiation.
The overall sense of spirituality within
the worship space is achieved through
incorporation of artistic stained glass from
the existing church in the upper windows
together with the spiritual story of St. Joseph
depicted in the lower windows-refurbished
from St. Michael Church in Munich, Germany.
