Working Together
Here’s what to expect when you work with an architect:
An architect’s job is to lead the process of setting up and assembling the spaces that are critical to the building of any structure or facility. The training an architect goes through enables them to create spaces that are both of practical value and that are aesthetically pleasing.
1
Collaboration with engineers
Architects guide and coordinate the work of engineers in the associated trades, which include structural, mechanical, electrical and civil engineers, as well as interior designers and acoustical consultants, all of whom have an important role in ensuring the successful completion of the building to suit the client’s specific needs.
2
Collaboration with the client
As the client, you play an invaluable role in the design process. The information you provide about your priorities, your budget, the ways you will utilize the space, and your artistic tastes are essential in helping the architect achieve an end result that meets and exceeds your expectations.

A range of flexible solutions
As your architect, Dennis Batty and Associates will strive to provide you with a variety of possibilities and options for your building project. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege to work with many individuals and organizations, with many different types of building needs and desires. If you want it, chances are, we’ve built it.

An effective process
We are keenly aware that feedback is needed for you, the client, as well as the design and construction team, through every phase of the construction process. We ensure the project meets your specifications and is completed on time and on budget. The earlier in your building process that we’re involved, the more assistance we can offer you in ensuring you get the most value for your investment.

Houses of worship: our specialty
We’re not limited to any one architectural style. We’ve designed and built both traditional and contemporary churches and hold a special interest in designing churches and worship facilities that connect with today’s culture and that facilitate community.
We strive to be continually learning, not just about architecture and engineering, but also about church planting, growth patterns and the importance of cultural relevance. We make a point to regularly visit churches that are growing and leading the way in reaching the world. We talk with pastors and church leaders about what works and what doesn’t.
