Speed of construction and economy are the biggest selling points for many congregations. Also post-frame construction works well for adding classroom additions and multi-purpose rooms when it would be much more costly to bring in excavators for installing continuous foundations for other kinds of construction.

Won’t our church look like a ‘barn’ using post-frame construction? Actually almost any type of external appearance created by other types of building systems can be achieved using post-frame.

Are post-frame buildings energy efficient? Long term savings in heating and air conditioning expenses are possible because of the wide spacing between structural members and the exceptionally spacious cavity created within post-frame buildings.

Does your building match your churches ministry mission and vision? Our design professionals at Hanover Building Systems will meet with your building committee to determine what kind of building will meet your vision and cost parameters and work with you until this is achieved. 

What gives Hanover Building Systems an edge over other builders when it comes to church construction?  Our company employs a retired pastor who has experienced numerous building programs in his ministry tenure. There is a personality to church buildings that is different from other commercial structures and needs to be designed to meet specific ministry and peoples needs. The building should be molded around the needs of ministries rather than have ministries fit into a floor plan.

Flexibility is key to church design. At Hanover buildings we are able to build both conventionally and post-frame and blend the building types to meet a churches need and budget constraints.

Congratulations to Family Life Worship Center on their newly completed church addition by Hanover Building Systems!

I found Hanover Building System, Inc. not only professional but also very personal. The work they provided for Family Life Worship Center was not only that of the highest quality but the workers were exceptionally polite and courteous. Bi-weekly there was a meeting of all personnel involved in the building project that I found very informative and helpful. Everyone at Family Life Worship Center was very satisfied with the results. We will need additional improvements in the future and we will use Hanover for all our building needs.

These are a few construction photos from a new church building project in PA. Hanover Buildings has specialized in church construction since 1982. We are church builders in PA and MD, serving Adams, York, Franklin, Cumberland and Dauphin Counties in South Central PA; Carroll, Fredrick, Baltimore and Harford Counties in MD.

You may know us as a 27-year old privately-held firm with strong roots in the Greater Hanover community. Hanover Buildings serves several counties in South Central Pennsylvania and Maryland.

We’re your advocates from start to finish for you and your dream. Our team values are honesty, integrity, clarity, sensitivity, and vision. We bring this set of core values and skill to each project.

We deal in straight talk, providing helpful insight and suggestions when appropriate. This means we use listening, the communication skill typically used less often. Listening will help us ask the pertinent questions key to determining your goals, vision, preferences, and needs, and this always results in a better framework for moving forward with a project.

Don’t get me wrong, we’re seldom confused with order-takers. We especially love the first part of each job because it is the conceptualization process that drives the direction and design of the building. It’s got to meet your stated needs and fit within your budget, but that leaves a lot of room of different choices and variations. We specialize in this, although our clients say we’re also good at building.

Our promise to you … we’ll help you crystallize your building needs, offer several different ideas and designs, and deliver your dream on-time and within budget. In the process clients often become friends. What could be better?
