Established in 1983 in Lufkin, Texas, Goodwin-Lasiter, Inc., began operations with a four-person crew. Together, they steadily grew and began to build a solid reputation in East Texas for providing high-quality engineering, architectural, and surveying services. In 2001, Goodwin-Lasiter, Inc. partnered with the firm Scott & Strong Architects to further increase their business capabilities. Building on an already successful foundation, the partnership provided an increase in services and high-quality project completion throughout East Texas. This success expanded further than the Lufkin office and ultimately led to the development of a second office in College Station. Goodwin-Lasiter, Inc. acquired Raymond Survey and Mapping in 2010. Raymond Survey and Mapping has been providing land surveying services in the Central Texas area since 2006. The firm has provided service on a broad range of projects for both public and private concerns. This work has included educational, public, commercial and retail building, athletic facilities, industrial, planning, parks, structural systems, public works, and surveying. The firm has served clients on projects in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Virginia. At the beginning of 2014, Goodwin-Lasiter, Inc. and Scott and Strong completely integrated the two companies, creating Goodwin-Lasiter-Strong. This change has allowed the firm to provide the best resources of each company all under the same name.
