    The first prototype First Shore Federal Savings & Loan Association building in Salisbury was designed to replace an aging modular building that had outgrown itself in terms of space and the services it could provide its customers. Erected in the same place as its predecessor, a major design challenge was successfully met by the placement of a temporary trailer banking facility elsewhere on site while the old building was demolished and the new one was constructed. This enabled the facility to continue its daily operations with only a minor impact on its customers. The new building projects a visual image of permanence and banking safety through the use of brick and traditional design detailing.

    GMB was contracted for the design of a second branch facility, based on the Salisbury prototype, in Pocomoke City in 2007. The new facility replaced an older, smaller facility on an adjacent site. The old facility remained open for the duration of the new construction.

    GMB was pleased to be asked by First Shore Federal once again in 2013 to design another prototype facility in downtown Millsboro, Delaware. Save for some minor refinements required by current codes and some challenges to satisfy Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) requirements for street access, the Millsboro branch facility kept the predominant features of the prototype intact.

    Harper & Sons, Inc. 

    For over 35 years, our firm has appreciated the outstanding engineering and architecture that GMB can be trusted to deliver. Project after project, we have found their designs to be sound and thoughtful. We’ve experienced the same successful outcomes while executing design-build and traditional general contracted projects – a ‘nuts and bolts’ design approach with excellent constructability, functionality, and pleasing atheistic that benefit both the constructor and project owner. We highly recommend GMB for any commercial, institutional, or civil construction project.

    We recently finished the second of three projects for which GMB won the bids in the last four years.  I would like to thank Morgan Helfrich, Deane Townsend, and the entire GMB Team for their attention to detail, great communications skills, and mindfulness of budget. They are impressive to watch as they make great progress in the development of construction documents for our newest facility in Federalsburg. I look forward to the continued utilization of their knowledge, experience, and architectural skills to complete our Federalsburg project.  I highly recommend GMB to anyone contemplating a building or renovation project of any size.

    Town of St. Michaels, MD

    In 2020, GMB completed a DNR funded Harbor and Stormwater Infrastructure Study for the Town of St Michaels. This valuable study projected the flooding and sea level rise by 2050 and then identified at risk areas and associated mitigation strategies for our main harbor and adjacent infrastructure. This was the valuable foundation the Town Commissioners needed for their planning and developed community awareness and support. Building on this study, the Town of St Michaels created the Climate Change/ Sea Level Rise Commission to pursue grants to implement these mitigation plans. Thanks to GMB’s study, the Town has been successful in pursuing grant funding.
