Instagram Facebook TikTok The Biggest AV Mistake Churches Make During Construction Projects In this episode, Jake and Sean explain why church AV should not be treated like gear you add at the end of a construction project. AV is a specialty construction trade that affects structural planning, electrical requirements, HVAC coordination, sightlines, cabling, equipment racks, control systems, and long-term volunteer usability. They unpack when churches should bring AV into the process, why pre-design consulting matters, how realistic budgets are built, and why you cannot accurately quote a system that has not been designed. They also discuss how better planning, detailed documentation, and experienced project management can prevent costly surprises and help churches steward construction projects with wisdom. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.
