– PROJECT REVIEW TRAVIS MILLWORK, INC.
RBFCU Manor, Texas
Credit Union Branch Millwork
A ground-up RBFCU branch full of one-off components. Teller lines, secure keying, and a solid birch feature wall, all crammed into a schedule that came due a year early.
The teller lines, bow-fronted with layered slats, reveals, and 3form face panels, built in Manor.
Scope: teller lines, birch feature wall, office mail-slot boxes, brochure display.
The build at a glance
♦ What we did
A credit union is never just boxes. Travis built the teller lines, the heart of the branch, with bow fronts, layered slats, varied colors, and staggered reveals, most of it shaped by hand. The face panels are 3form.
Behind them run the chaseways for security wiring, cat 5, and the odd-shaped cash machines, all hidden to keep the design clean. The back wall is solid birch hardwood. A curved solid-surface peninsula anchors the floor.
The details went deep. At each office entrance, a locking mail-slot box is built integrally into the door frame, hidden behind the glass. The branch carried nearly every material Travis works: solid surface, five colors of laminate, PVC and 3mm edge banding, stainless steel, slat wall, and 3form.
♦ The Challenges
Financial work is its own discipline. Every drawer and door was keyed differently, around 40 locks in all, each landing in its exact place, with three manager-only locks in the back workroom. The drawings were intricate, kicked back for revision more than once, and the branch-specific components meant a real learning curve. The hardest part was timing. The job was booked to finish almost a year sooner, then permitting delays pushed it late, and it landed on top of a specialty-department schedule already full.
Travis flexed production across both its campuses to absorb the work without dropping the branch’s demands. Not every shop can do that.
