Category: News • September 30, 2024

Before you make any final decisions on your 2025 branch renovation or new construction budgets, take a moment to consider the insight you might gain from a company that’s been in the business for over 30 years.

Our strong reputation in the highly competitive design-build industry is anchored by the lasting partnerships we’ve built with professionals across every trade and practice relevant to commercial construction. From architectural design, including civil, structural, and mechanical engineering services, to construction execution, brand implementation, and furniture installation, Solidus can speak to the risks, expenses, and time constraints associated with all these disciplines and more. With a current and comprehensive data mine at our fingertips, we offer expertise that can be very difficult to find and almost impossible to attain without proper direction or familiarity. While it may take private parties weeks or even months to gather information from each of these entities, our team can have all the answers you need in a matter of days, and in some cases, hours.

A thorough construction budget must encompass more than just the broad strokes of a project. There are fine details that must also be accounted for and facilitated. Our seasoned estimators take time to answer essential questions that are often overlooked during budget planning. What goes into preparing a construction site for winter conditions and what are the costs associated with this work? How much of our budget will need to be spent on safety equipment and temporary utilities? Can our branch remain open with minimal disruption to our daily operations and customer experience? These are legitimate concerns that can impact a tight budget, and if you don’t have a frame of reference informed by years of application and experience, you might not plan accordingly.

Solidus’s ability to help our clients shape and maneuver around their budgets extends beyond our construction expertise. After all, we’ve spent the bulk of our 30 years serving the needs of community banks and credit unions and we understand how their customers expectations have evolved. Our design choices and service recommendations are informed by market data and offered with the sole purpose of streamlining our clients day-to-day operations and improving their branches overall efficiency and performance. These strategic changes help our clients make the most of their budgets and provide a framework for reducing costs and increasing revenue for years to come.

Whether you want to open a new branch in a new location or update the interior design of your current branch network, establishing an accurate budget and realistic timeline is critical to reaching these goals. Equipped with deep wells of information and decades of construction experience, Solidus can provide the tools and guidance you need to offset costs, reallocate funds, and avoid mistakes, ensuring your construction plans go smoothly, from conception to execution.
