Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood acquires Georgia-based Stevenson & Palmer Engineering
ATLANTA – Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc. (GMC), announced that it has completed the acquisition of Stevenson & Palmer
Engineering (SPE), a Georgia-based firm with more than 50 years of experience providing engineering and infrastructure
services throughout the state. The combined expertise and scope of services provided by the two firms will fortify and expand
their depth of resources, in addition to further establishing GMC’s footprint in the Georgia market.
“This merger combines two firms focused on serving clients, while growing our geographic reach and service offerings in
Georgia,” said Jim Teel, GMC Vice President of Georgia. “We are committed to placing the interests of our clients first and
ensuring they are provided with the most talented professionals in the Southeast.”
GMC’s ability to provide local service in Georgia will
be greatly enhanced through the well-established
relationships SPE has developed over the years, as
well as the offices the firm has located throughout
the state. Additionally, integrating GMC’s multiple inhouse disciplines will enable SPE to expand the services
offered to its well-founded client base and create more
opportunities for growth.

“Stevenson & Palmer Engineering has worked closely
with numerous Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood employees
for almost two years,” said Corkey Welch, former SPE
President and now GMC Senior Client Manager. “I am
personally excited to complete the merger and finally be
a part of the GMC family.”

GMC and SPE have several collaborative efforts underway,
including the St. Marys Tabby Trail and Downtown Streetscape,
Newnan Fire Station and the City of Jackson Pocket Parks.
SPE has more than 50 years of Georgia-based experience
providing engineering and infrastructure services to
municipalities and counties throughout metro-Atlanta and
across the state. While the firm has grown steadily over the
last four decades, the cornerstone of its business continues to
be quality services for a reasonable price.
Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was founded in 1947 and is one
of the most comprehensive multi-disciplined architecture
and engineering firms in the Southeast. The GMC Georgia
City of Milledgeville Council Chambers renovation ribbon cutting
team has continued to expand since its inception in 2011,
with a portfolio of work spanning across the state. Some of
these projects include the recently completed renovation of the City of Milledgeville City Council Chambers, Elbert County
Comprehensive High School Renovations and Camp Merrill Wastewater Treatment Facility, in addition to water and sewer
projects for the cities of Covington, Dahlonega, Dalton and Toccoa, to name a few. GMC was also recently selected by the
Baldwin County and Pelham City School Boards to provide architecture and engineering services for various projects.
Teams from both firms have been working on integration plans to ensure a seamless transition for employees, clients and
consultants. “The SPE team is still in place – we’ve just added a few names and a new list of services to our resume,” said Welch.
“I look forward to serving the existing friends and clients of SPE and new ones that we will meet throughout Georgia and
beyond.”
The Stevenson & Palmer staff will remain in their current locations, operating under the Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood name.
Employees in both the GMC and SPE Atlanta offices will move to an integrated location later this year.
