Construction Documents are progressing toward permit set for Alabama ONE’s prototype Chantilly Branch in Montgomery, Alabama (see image), and the full renovation of their existing Northport Branch. Both locations will have drive-up ITM kiosks similar to models that have been implemented at other Alabama ONE branches. These projects will begin construction in late 2022 and carry into early 2023 and provide a vibrant and enjoyable environment for Members and employees alike. The efficient design will ultimately lower construction costs, while the integration of advanced technology maximizes operational efficiency and return on their investment.

CBI looks forward to further collaborations with Alabama ONE, their Team, and great work culture!

Consultants and Builders, Inc.  has recently completed the installation of two NCR Interactive Teller Machines at Associated Credit Union’s Dobbins ARB branch. CBI also installed a monument sign for better brand identification and representation for members. Site lighting was also added for afterhours use since the new ITMs are available for members outside normal business hours.

Echoing the original sentiments when the project idea was generated, Michael Huff, VP of Retail Services at Associated Credit Union noted “We believe that this type of drive thru service will be beneficial to the Dobbins ARB community for a number of reasons: Extended service hours, an additional access point for funds (going from one ATM to two ITMs), additional security – Members would not need to get out of their vehicles to utilize the ITMs, and innovative technology to facilitate timely transactions and offer what today’s Member is looking for; convenience as well as the ability to speak to a live associate to assist with more complex transactions without going into the branch.”

CBI looks forward to our next collaboration with Associated Credit Union in the renovation and reopening of a number of smaller downtown Atlanta microbranches shuttered during Covid.

Consultants and Builders, Inc. (CBI) has completed the relocation and renovation of Pinnacle Credit Union’s Main Office and Branch to it’s new location in the East Atlanta Village. The project scope included a teller line with TCR, interior wall and spatial rework, painting, flooring, new furniture and millwork, finish updates, banking equipment and security upgrades, walkup ITM, as well as enhanced lighting and signage. As one of CBI’s three concurrent projects with Pinnacle CU, we look forward to our collaborative efforts and long term relationship as they grow their market area for enhanced member service and fulfillment.

On the horizon for CBI and Pinnacle CU in the later part of 2022 is a new branch location in an iconic white marble financial building from Atlanta’s past in the West End/ Cascade area.

Consultants & Builders, Inc. will attend and exhibit at the Community Bankers Association of Georgia Annual Convention & Mini-Trade Show scheduled for September 14-18, 2022, at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island Resort. Please join Tyler Williams, President/Owner and Kurt Diedrich, VP of Consulting at Booth #18.

Following the July 4^th holiday celebration, the CDC Federal Credit Union held a widely anticipated ribbon cutting for their first independent branch prototype. Attended by the City of Tucker Mayor, Council Members and Directors, CDC FCU Executives, Board members, employees, community members, and neighbors, the weather was as stellar as the event itself.

The first speaker was Kimberly Jones, CDC FCU Board of Directors, who noted the credit union’s dedication to the surrounding community and serving members for generations to come. Mayor Auman then spoke, reminiscing the journey of the branch from initial City Council/Community meetings to the ultimate culmination of the ribbon cutting and then grand opening set for the following week. Great excitement surrounds the continued rejuvenation of the Northlake Mall Master Plan of which the CDC FCU branch is a iconic beacon. CDC FCU President and CEO, Australia Hoover, and Tim Gardner, CFO, closed in welcoming all to what was the culmination of many years of work and vision by the credit union community as a whole.

CBI greatly appreciates the partnership with the CDC FCU Executives and employees on this and future projects in collaborative growth.

Welcome all to the Tucker Community and be sure to stop by and see the CDC FCU family at 4816 Briarcliff Road!
