Dekker/Perich/Sabatini LLC specified a pre-engineered metal building for Immaculate Conception Catholic Church to stay within the project budget and design a long-lasting, low-maintenance facility. Varco Pruden Buildings supplied the primary building with straight columns, roof structural system and high wind roof (HWR) standing seam metal roof panels in Cool Colonial Red for the 7,630-squarefoot project, completed in May 2013.
Vega is a small farming community approximately 40 miles west of Amarillo. The new church replaced the original church built by farm settlers in the region. The project budget was determined by community donations. Dekker/Perich/Sabatini worked with the church building committee, assisted with fundraising, and provided construction documents and construction administration.
