MC would like to wish our associates, colleagues, and families a safe and Happy New Year. We are excited for the new opportunities and changes that this new year will bring.
Our offices will be closed on Monday, January 2nd and will reopen with normal business hours on Tuesday, January 3rd.
Over the past month, MC had the pleasure of partnering with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for our annual holiday giving campaign. This year our employees went above and beyond our goal and donated over $3,000 to help ensure that no family receives a bill for treatments, travel, housing, nor food. Thank you to all who have donated to our campaign and helped push us over our goal.
Happy Holidays from all of us at Morabito Consultants!
In observance of Christmas, MC will be closing early today, December 23rd, and will reopen with normal business hours on Tuesday, December 27th.

The property will be rebranded as “The Villages at Mondawmin”. Together with Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, BCT Design Group, Mahan Rykiel Associates, SRBR Engineers and MK Consulting Engineers, the site is being redeveloped as a community hub and will house healthcare, childcare, and job development services as well as space for a local non-profits and entrepreneurs. Structural services include reconstruction of the north façade, new openings in existing masonry walls and new exterior promenades, stairs and ramps. The article below was featured on the front page of the Baltimore Sun on Friday, December 16th, 2022.
Please join us in welcoming our latest hire – Carl Svagerko, PE! Carl is a University of Tennessee graduate and joined MC as a Project Manager. He brings eight years of experience structural engineering including building inspection, restoration, and remediation, as well as repair design. Welcome to the team, Carl!
HUGE congratulations are in order. Please join MC in celebrating Henry Rand on becoming a certified Special Inspector (Limited) in the state of Florida! We are incredibly proud of all the work Henry continues to provide for our FL clients.
In the fall of 2021, MC identified serious deficiencies with the structural slab ramp which served as the primary entrance and exit to the VA Hospital below grade parking garage. Emergency temporary netting and steel beams were installed in spring of 2022, while full ramp reconstruction design documents were promptly developed. Construction began in August 2022 and moved swiftly to rebuild over 2,000 square-feet of ramp slab. Not only was all damaged ramp concrete properly repaired, but the estimate MC prepared for pre-construction repair quantities were not exceeded during the demolition process. After all repairs were completed, the highly traveled slab was properly protected with a long-lasting hybrid polyurethane-epoxy traffic membrane to prevent harsh chloride and carbonization damage. Vehicular traffic returned to this critical parking structure on November 14, 2022. MC is proud of the work completed to restore the safety and durability of this facility’s entrance ramp for decades to come. Further, MC and Veteran Design & Construction Inc. received “exceptional” ratings for design, cost control, and management of the project from the VA’s post-project Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR).
MC has the privilege of working alongside SM+P Architects and Lewis Contractors on the renovations currently taking place at the Maryland Golf and Country Club in Bel Air. Check out the drone footage of the steel beams being placed for the new 1,660 square-foot, outdoor pavilion. The pavilion construction is scheduled for completion by February 2023 and will provide an outdoor dining area overlooking the golf course and includes a covered bag drop-off.
In honor of Giving Tuesday, MC will be kicking off the holiday season by partnering with St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in efforts to ensure no family receives a bill for treatments, travel, housing, or food.

MC would like to take this time to thank our clients, families, and friends for your continued support and trust in our company. In observance of Thanksgiving, our office will be closed Thursday and Friday this week and reopen at normal business hours on Monday, November 28, 2022. We hope everyone has a safe, healthy, and relaxing holiday.
