VOLUNTEER CHRISTIAN BUILDERS
Miscellaneous Guidelines
1. If cherry picker, forklift or front-end loader is available from a church member, this will save
time and work for the Volunteer Christian Builders if they do not have to set trusses by hand.

2. If equipment is available to off-load lumber, shingles, sheet rock, etc., it is very helpful.

3. Check with several suppliers of materials for best prices. They can also determine quantities
of materials for you.

4. Installer of HVAC will need to coordinate ductwork installation prior to sheetrock work.

5.
Baptistery should on site by first day of construction.

6. It cannot be over-emphasized that materials must be on-site prior to start of construction.
Most churches and suppliers do not realize how fast a truckload of material can be used in
framing up a building with a crew of 20 men.

7. We strongly encourage church members to be a part of the construction crew.

8. The ladies are generally willing to join with members of the church to participate in other
ministries such as projects to benefit community ministries.
