A word to Pastors from Mr. John Stokes:

"Many Pastors have experienced this dilemma: they have had plans designed and found them to be way over budget. They had to put their plans for growth on hold. However, they took the opportunity to call The John Stokes Company and we evaluated their needs, their plans and their vision and came up with a plan and a design that met their criteria. We built  a quality facility within their budget."

"John was very persistent and handled everything. He got things done. He handled all the zoning and permitting issues and all the changes that were necessary which relieved a huge amount of pressure from me. John brought together the budget, the vision and the construction. He got it done. He did not give up the battle. He brought a $1.6 million project in at just over $920,000. It was a remarkable process." Saving the church over $600,000.

Mr. John Stokes:
"Here is a common scenario that we have seen all too often. You have a vision for growth and to provide additional facilities for your people and to effectively reach the community. You contract with an architectural firm to draw up your plans for the vision. The cost come back way over budget and your project has 'stalled'. You have to put the vision that God has given you on hold. Do as other pastors and building communities have done. Give the John Stokes Company a call; give us an opportunity to assist you in moving forward. You have nothing to lose. There is no cost and no obligation for our free consultation and analysis. We can help with the design, construction and also the financing."

"As part of our research to select a contractor, we visited some of the facilities designed and built by The John Stokes Company. Not only did John have the best bid, we liked what we saw. We were impressed with the quality and design of the finished product. We had initially contracted with an architectural firm to design the facility. It was significantly over budget and we put our plans on hold. We contacted Mr. John Stokes and he evaluated our plans, redesigned the facility in a way that met our needs and fulfilled our vision and brought the project in line with our budget saving us over $500,000."
