In October 2010, a vehicle ran into the PNC Bank on the corner of South Main Street and Bay Street in Berlin, MD. Significant damage occurred to the building, which is located in a National Historic Register (NHR) District.

GMB’s services were obtained to observe the damaged section of the building and provide recommendations to stabilize the structure. This included full design drawings detailing the renovation and new construction portions of the existing building and façade to restore the structure to its original condition. GMB presented the restoration design to the local historic commission to maintain the character of this historic property, which was approved.

GMB was again contracted in 2011 to review the existing drive-thru canopy and rear bank access, and suggest alternative options for review and presentation to the Berlin Historic Commission via graphic renderings.

We are thrilled with the current operation of the new Hampstead Wastewater Treatment Plant designed by GMB. The operator’s level of stress has dropped dramatically since the upgraded plant has become fully operational.

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.

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.

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.
