Columbia, S.C.— Mashburn Construction is proud to partner with Bamberg County and Craig Gaulden Davis | PBK on the restoration and renovation of the Historic Bamberg County Courthouse, an investment that will preserve one of the community's most significant landmarks while creating a safe, modern facility capable of serving residents for decades to come.
Guided by its mission of “Partnering to Deliver an Exceptional Building Experience”, Mashburn is committed to working alongside Bamberg County, CGD | PBK, and community stakeholders to restore a building that has long served as the heart of county government. The project reflects the company's broader commitment to strengthening South Carolina's communities through thoughtful construction, preservation and long-term stewardship of public assets.
The renovation will breathe new life into the courthouse through extensive structural improvements, modernization of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, accessibility upgrades, life safety enhancements and careful restoration of historic architectural elements. The project reflects months of collaboration among architects, engineers and specialty consultants to develop a construction approach that respects the building's historic character while meeting today's performance and code requirements.
"Historic renovation projects require a different level of planning and craftsmanship than new construction," said Richard Kinard, Executive Vice President of Mashburn Construction. "Every decision must balance preservation with performance. Our team is honored to partner with Bamberg County to restore this important piece of its history while delivering a courthouse that will safely serve the community for generations.”
The groundbreaking ceremony marks the beginning of construction on a project that represents both an investment in public infrastructure and a commitment to preserving one of Bamberg County's most recognizable civic buildings. Upon completion, the renovated courthouse will once again serve as the home of county judicial operations while standing as a testament to the County's dedication to its history and future.
For nearly 50 years, Mashburn Construction has partnered with clients across South Carolina to build spaces that strengthen communities and improve the lives of those they serve. The Bamberg County Historic Courthouse Renovation continues that legacy by preserving an iconic public landmark while preparing it to serve future generations.
