Praise the Lord for our new team of men who are overseeing our building project—Rathana (Kevin) Sin, Albert Gutierrez, Daniel Jones, and Shane Manly are God-sent men who are taking our building project to the next level!
Albert is working on the pricing of our underground plumbing and our first new estimate is $12,000 under our budgeted cost for this material.
We were given a number of great tips from our advisers about making changes to the HVAC mechanical drawings which could save us $95,000 or more in the end.
We may be able to save up to $1,300 on a material called Visqueen needed for the slab (21% savings from our lowest previous bid).
Materials breakdown for the rebar for the slab and foundation—We found a vendor that will give us concrete for $9,300 less than the lowest bid from before and that bid was about $7,000 less than the next vendor. We also found another rebar company in LA that is giving it to us $1,000 less than Home Depot, who was $7,000 less than the lowest bid previous to the new team’s arrival.
A company about two miles from the church may be able to save us $6,000 on the rock that we need for the foundation of our building.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS—Please remember that in order for our building to be built, we must continue to faithfully give that which we have committed. As a church, let’s stay faithful, and if we haven’t been, lets get back to doing what we know the Lord wants us to.
Please continue to pray for God’s favor, direction, and guidance as we seek to glorify Him and build our building in His time.
