The Origin Point

Every place, project, and community has a creation story—a unique narrative that answers who built it, why it matters, where it came from, and how it came to be. These stories aren't just historical footnotes; they're the foundation of lasting value and meaning.

At CBM, we believe the best creation stories emerge from thoughtful planning, genuine stakeholder engagement, sound engineering, and innovative delivery. Our work is about more than building structures or implementing plans—it's about creating the conditions for new legacies to take root and flourish.

Here, we plan to share the ideas, insights, and news that shape how we think about creating value in the built environment. Whether it's a new approach to an old problem or a lesson learned in the field, this is where we explore what it means to build with purpose.

Clarksburg Sector Plan Draft approved by The Montgomery County Planning Board: A Milestone for Montgomery County

We are excited to say the Montgomery County Planning Board has approved the draft Clarksburg Gateway Sector Plan!

This framework for development respects the community's character while addressing real needs—housing, connectivity, and infrastructure that works for residents and businesses alike.

Behind every great plan is a dedicated team. Our thanks go to the Montgomery County Planning Department staff whose years of technical work, public outreach, and careful revision brought this vision together.

We're looking forward to the next chapter—working to turn this plan into built reality.
