Consultants and Builders, Inc. was chosen to design and renovate an existing bank building for one of the latest de novo banks, Loyal Trust Bank (in organization), headquartered in Johns Creek, GA.

The bank will be the first and only multi-cultural, Asian American Bank headquartered in the Johns Creek market and will serve the surrounding area with a hi-touch and hi-tech community banking style for business and consumer customers. By adding on square footage under the drive up canopy, the bank is able to house over 20 employees to a number of different positions.  The bank will utilize a 2 person teller POD, drive-up remote tube and ATM as their delivery touch points.  The building will be fully updated with new paint, tile, carpet and lighting.

The bank’s plan is to open in the 4th quarter of this year.

Peach State Federal Credit Union celebrated the grand reopening of its remodeled branch facility with a ribbon cutting ceremony today. The branch is located in the Richmond County Board of Education building in Augusta, GA. The interior build out incorporated the new prototype color scheme of the credit union. New LED lighting, paint, wallcovering, flooring, and millwork was included.  A teller pod was introduced in this 600 sf space as well as a conferencing table. In addition, a coffee bar was added to the lobby.  New office furniture and an added break room rounded out this renovation.

One of the tellers stated so many members come into the branch and say, “I feel so at home.”  We feel that the members are comfortable in the space because we transformed it from a dark and dated space to a clean, bright, and functional environment: all without losing the warmth the credit union naturally conveys. We collaborated with the client on developing design elements which are engaging, and which match the client’s cutting-edge marketing efforts. This collaboration translated in design as the engaging blue sky and cloud wallcovering, the prominently displayed core values on the waiting area wall, the inviting and open nature of the teller pod concept and the use of dynamic marketing via flat screen display.  Read more…

“The Future is Here”……Consultants and Builders, Inc. just installed two NCR Interactive Teller Machines at Associated Credit Union’s main office branch.  The credit union’s main office previously had no drive-ups and now has two full service ATMs with teller assist.  Members can simply touch the screen and communicate with a teller in real time, with the teller guiding the member through the transaction. There is no need for tubes under the ground or a drive up window or even full time tellers, as the Interactive Teller Machines can handle a number of different transactions into multiple accounts.
