Calvary Dallas Design Proposal

Mr. Rick Botello,

On behalf of our entire team here at WAVE, we would like to thank you for the opportunity to work with you. WAVE is a full-service ministry resource firm specializing in AVL/A Integration, Brand Experience, Ministry Consulting, and Technical Team Development.

We would be honored to work with you and your team as you dream and create the next chapter of Calvary.

When Experience Matters.

When Experience Matters

The vision of WAVE is to design and deliver projects that enhance the unique story each church is trying to tell. WAVE operates under the understanding that God is calling each church to use their unique personality to reach the world.  The church is called to connect with the unconnected. WAVE’s calling is to maximize that connection.

Clients Are Partners

We see every church we work with as a partner in ministry. Much different than a sub-contractor, WAVE is most often hired because of our ministry related work in some of the most dynamic churches in the country. Because of the shared vision and collaborative design strategies we engage in, WAVE is honored to be a strategic ministry partner with the church. Our calling is to come along side you and help you achieve your calling.

Burn-In & Custom Shop

Our development team takes great pride in making sure your products are properly burned-in and tested and your project is laid out meticulously. Each piece spends time in WAVE’s burn-in room before it ever hits your project site. Detail is at the front of their priorities all the way down to the custom rack plates and floor boxes.

Our goal is for you to see and feel the amount of detail and care that has been put in to every piece of equipment we touch. Your ministry is our priority.

  • Custom Rack Layout
  • Laser Engraved Faceplates
  • Racks Prebuilt in Burn-In Room
  • Detailed Cabling
  • All Pieces Tested Before showing up on site

Install

Once a project design is agreed upon, the Project Management Team immediately engages in the process. Their job is to make sure that your project is completed on time and in budget. They work very closely with our Lead Installer and his team to make sure that all details are covered. In all projects, there are bumps in the road. Communication and the ability to think strategically through tough situations is what makes these teams great.

 

The WAVE installers and Project Managers do whatever needs to be done to see the project through to completion. Our teams are trained and commissioned to keep the church’s ministry their top priority.

Custom Programming & Products

From our VenueFLEX surround  sound, to ControlFLEX’s custom control and automation sequencing, the ability to make your room function just the way you want it, is now literally at your finger tips.

  • Venue FLEX
  • Control FLEX
  • Choir FLEX

SURFER

WAVE’s highest priorities have always centered around service and design. Although WAVE and its offerings have grown, those two priorities have not changed.   In a church culture where the use of technology is growing faster than the budget for staff to support it, there must be a process in place that gives both staff and volunteers the confidence to believe that they aren’t in this alone.

Introducing SURFER.  SURFER is WAVE’s remote access and system monitoring network. SURFER gives both clients and the WAVE – Technical Services Team the advantage of analyzing all aspects of IP addressable technology for performance, connectivity, and system changes from any location.    The SURFER network combined with WAVE’s FLEX product line will allow for peace of mind, real time diagnostics and rapid response to technical issues.    The Pastoral staff should not need to worry about technical systems operation while creating an unforgettable experience for someone to connect with God. SURFER was created so you can do what you do best and avoid worrying about technical problems.

Pricing and Terms

The initiation of a Design Contract with WAVE will provide the following deliverables required to move forward with your building’s functional design:

Programming and Needs Assessment

Opinion of probable cost and functional description
Listing of major equipment and Schematic design
Infrastructure requirements for architectural and engineering coordination

Pricing:

The Fee associated with a design contract is based in a large part on the overall determined AVL budget for the project. An estimate of 5-7% of the overall budget is negotiated for the design phase of the project. Unless otherwise agreed upon, assume this to be the price associated with the design of your project.

The collection of the Design Fees are broken into 4 billing segments. Each invoice will be directly tied to receipt of a specific deliverable:

Design-phase fees shall be billed as follows:

Contract Initiated: 25% of design fee

Opinion of probable cost (O.P.C.) and functional specification delivered: 50% of design fee

Listing of major equipment and schematic design concept delivered: 75% of design fee
