06 Aug Earthmover Credit Union – Romeoville IL
Earthmover Credit Union engaged The Redmond Company to expand its branch network with a new ground‑up location in Romeoville, IL. The 4,447 sf project includes a 3,212 sf branch and a 1,235 sf canopy, creating a one‑level facility that supports the credit union’s continued growth following its recent rebranding.
This Romeoville branch is the second new‑build facility Redmond has completed for Earthmover, following the Batavia location. Redmond has also delivered remodels at four additional Earthmover branches, giving the project team direct knowledge of the credit union’s standards, operations, and expectations.
Maintaining schedule has been a key priority for Earthmover. Redmond built additional time into preconstruction to allow for an extended permitting window, giving the owner a more reliable start date and reducing the need for schedule adjustments. Bidding was strengthened by Redmond’s established relationships with local subcontractors and experience from previous Earthmover projects.
Redmond is providing design/build construction services for the Romeoville branch. The team is also using design/build Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) subcontractors who worked on earlier Earthmover locations, allowing familiar teams to apply lessons learned and anticipate building needs.
Redmond provides consistent project information, including allowance log updates with each pay application, helping Earthmover track decisions with confidence throughout construction. As the sixth project between Earthmover and Redmond, the Romeoville branch continues a working relationship built on trust, direct communication, clear processes, and transparency.
