January 23, 2025, by Eldin Ganic

Architecture and engineering firm Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC) is further expanding its services through the strategic acquisition of South Coast Engineers (SCE) in Fairhope, Alabama.

SCE was formally established in 2007 and is nationally known for its expertise in coastal engineering, resilience, and nature-based solutions. Bringing SCE on board fortifies GMC’s engineering team and enhances the firm’s expertise by adding coastal engineering.

“We have worked with GMC for over 20 years and are proud to be able to make our partnership official,” said Scott Douglass, SCE founder and president. “We are excited to bolster the firm’s services by adding coastal engineering, as we continue to serve our communities and clients and expand our reach even further through this new venture.”

The two firms have worked on several notable projects over their decades-long relationship, including most recently, Dauphin Island’s East End Beach and Dune Restoration.

Named ENR Southeast’s 2024 Design Firm of the Year, GMC is one of the Southeast’s most comprehensive multidisciplined architecture and engineering firms.
