Community Bank – Executive Vice President

The relationship that Wayne Davis / WMDavis, Inc. has with the Community Bank of the Chesapeake dates back many years…..to the early 1980’s. WM Davis, Inc. is very well respected in the area by the business community and the bank shares that sentiment.

Nearly all of the bank’s locations throughout the area have been constructed by WMDavis, Inc.  We have always found the company to be reliable, professional, realistic and genuine. Each of these traits are valued by the bank and I trust any well run, long-standing and successful firm……such as WMDavis, Inc.

More specifically, our projects run close to planned schedules, and the on-site supervisors are always very willing to keep us abreast of both good news and coming challenges.

In sum, Wayne Davis & WMDavis, Inc. are considered to be long standing partners of the bank and we look forward to may projects in the future.

Best,

Jim DiMisa

Mechanicsville Fire Department – John Montgomery

As President of the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.  I have had the pleasure of working with W M Davis on the Mechanicsville fire station project and I have been pleased with their cooperation.

W M Davis spent time with the Department’s committee in a collaborative effort to ascertain our needs and assisted us through the permitting process by meeting with county and state regulatory agencies.

The Davis team constructed a quality facility.  The attention to detail and craftsmanship are evident on every component of the building. At this time, the building has been occupied for only 3 months with no major problems, however, we still have some small things to complete.

I feel comfortable recommending W M Davis for a project.  You may contact me with any particular questions that you may have.

St. Mary’s Recreation and Parks – David Guyther

The W.M. Davis Company built a new block restroom building at the Wicomico Shores Public Landing. This building included both a men and women’s restroom. They did an excellent job, were very good to work with and finished the project in a timely manner.

The Company also performed a renovation project for us at Lancaster Park. The project involved renovating one building in a former housing development built in the 1940’s known as the Flat Tops. The Flat Top house was renovated into what is now known as the United States Colored Troops Civil War Memorial Interpretive Center. This was a complete renovation inside the building and some minor renovations on the exterior. Once again, the W.M. Davis Company was easy to work with finishing the project on time and the quality of work was very good.

I would strongly consider The W.M. Davis Company for future projects. Sincerely,

David Guyther Parks Manager

W. M. DAVIS, INC. – MECHANICSVILLE VFD ADDITION AND RENOVATION

Dear Mr. Davis:

It is with great pride and satisfaction that I am able to write you in recommendation of

W.M. Davis’ recent performance at the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department in Mechanicsville, Maryland.

The existing building for Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department dates to 1976 and has had several additions and renovations throughout its lifespan. Over the years the department has increased its membership and fleet of response vehicles to the point of exceeding   the  capacity of the station. To accommodate the departments requirements a new seven bay fire station with accompanying living and administrative area was designed.

Your team worked hand in hand with the design team and Owner throughout both the bidding and construction process to bring the project within budget. You demonstrated thoughtful execution of the contract documents to ensure that the project was well coordinated and constructed. The product delivered by your team has certainly resulted in a renewal of spirit within the department and passion towards providing volunteer services to the Mechanicsville community.

I look forward to continuing our relationship with your  staff and would consider W. M. Davis, Inc. for any construction project.

Very Sincerely,

Gary Campbell | Senior Associate | Manns Woodward Studios, Inc.

Frederick Sass – Solomons Island Yacht Club

Thoughts regarding the performance of W. M. Davis, Inc. on the Solomons Island Yacht Club (SIYC) building addition and renovation in 2009/2010.

The Solomons Island Yacht Club signed a fixed price design-build contract with W. M. Davis, Inc. in September 2009 to construct a 2400 square foot two story addition and renovation of our Clubhouse building, located on the harbor in Solomons, MD.  Construction started in November 2009.  I was the chairman of the (SIYC) Construction Committee and negotiated the contract and chaired the committee that was responsible for overseeing the entire construction project.  I along with the Commodore, approved all of the bills and change orders.  The design build aspect of the project meant that W. M. Davis, Inc. was responsible for the architect’s work as well as the builder’s.  SIYC contracted separately with the engineering firm of COA, Inc. for the site engineering and design.  The process worked well and we are very pleased with the entire outcome of the project.

This was a major addition to a building originally constructed in 1944, which had been modified and enlarged over time.  As a result, a number of construction and design issues arose during the construction process that had to be worked out among SIYC, W. M. Davis, Inc. and the architect.  Wayne Davis was involved personally during the entire project and all issues were resolved to our satisfaction regarding design, quality and price.  The project was finished as we requested in time for our “Opening Day” in the spring of 2012.  The total cost of the project was very important to the membership.  It was their primary concern and the project was completed within budget including change orders.  The quality of the design and the quality of the workmanship is excellent.

The membership of SIYC is very proud of its new building.  It is beautiful, inside and out and the attendance of the membership at Club functions has significantly increased as a result.

I am also very proud of the new building and would be happy to show it, inside and out, to anyone who would like to see it.  Just give me a call on 410-610-8807.

I would definitely turn to W. M. Davis, Inc. to do a project again.

Sincerely,

Frederick Sass
