About the Project

This was Keller’s third project for Intercity State Bank. Our relationship with Intercity State Bank has evolved throughout the past 18-years, but it always starts with the “Discovery” phase. This architectural programming step involved several interview-style meetings, focusing on client needs rather than architect decisions and required an extensive amount of planning between Keller and Intercity State Bank. The same client-centered approach was used by Keller’s Interior Designer. Intercity State Bank desired a blend of contemporary styling and elements matching their corporate headquarters. The design featured an innovative steel framework at the main and employee entrances, with natural stone accents repeated throughout the building. Value engineering allowed the client to decide on design elements during the design and pricing phase. Keller’s scheduling process included an interactive “Calendar of Events” to keep the client informed. Post-contract, a detailed electronic schedule with milestone events was implemented. As a design/build self-performing general contractor, Keller overcame supply chain and weather-related issues, utilizing technologies like Revit, Procore, and Tremble. The new building was constructed in front of the existing facility, allowing the bank to remain operational. Upon completion, the bank moved into the new building, and the old facility was demolished.
