06 Aug First State Bank of Campbell Hill – Coulterville IL
First State Bank of Campbell Hill is moving forward with a new 4,100‑sf branch with a more functional, single‑story structure to replace an aging facility. The ground-up project maintains the familiar aesthetic of the existing branch while improving daily operations. Throughout planning and construction, Redmond is engaging local subcontractors and suppliers, many of whom are long‑standing bank customers, making community involvement a core part of the delivery approach.
Redmond’s design/build delivery method gives the bank clear visibility into each step of the project. Because the owner is highly engaged but not experienced in construction, Redmond’s transparent communication and responses from both the design and construction teams provide attentive, steady guidance. The team’s bidding process has been particularly beneficial, allowing for subcontractor awards to reflect more than lowest price. By considering location, existing relationships, and owner preference, Redmond aligns selections with the bank’s priorities while maintaining control over quality and scope.
Design decisions emphasize continuity with the First State Bank of Campbell Hill’s established look without introducing high‑end finishes or trend‑driven features. The wood‑framed structure incorporates the elements the bank uses today, including wood door casings, a standard teller line, a hip roof, and a brick exterior with pilasters and precast concrete.
