TruEdge Builds partnered with Meriwest Credit Union to design and build a new prototype branch. The goal was to balance four things: a distinctive member experience, staff comfort, operational performance, and a repeatable brand standard for future locations. The finished branch pairs private consultation offices with an open, welcoming public space. It advances Meriwest's member experience, staff well-being, and long-term branch strategy.
Summary
Engineering a Custom Digital Display
The 98-degree display corner, the excessive power demand, and procurement colliding with the Chinese New Year shutdowns are risks any client with a specialized feature will recognize.
The Challenges
Creating a Repeatable Prototype
Clients rolling out multiple locations need a model that reflects their brand, works operationally, and scales. The test fits, 3D modeling, and VR reviews show a process that reduces risk before construction and sets a standard for future branches.
Navigating Landlord Requirements
Clients leasing retail space face strict rules, heavy documentation, and third-party approvals. The 50-page construction manual, dust-control standards, and utility boring under the parking lot show TruEdge can deliver in a tightly governed environment while working closely with the property team.
TruEdge sent an international representative to vet multiple manufacturers and verify components against the required angle, schedule, and electrical criteria. The result, a system meeting every requirement at 20% of the original power, shows TruEdge can protect both schedule and operating cost. To satisfy the landlord's construction manual, daily communication with the property team kept reviews, field activities, and approvals moving without compromising the shopping center’s standards. Test fits, 3D modeling, and virtual-reality reviews refined the branch before construction, and brand-driven finishes, technology, and spatial decisions produced a cohesive, repeatable prototype for future locations.
