Background of Our Firm...
Established as a Professional Limited Liability Company in 1996, Foxhollow Goodson is a collaboration of two of the Southeast Region's most successful "Church-Serving" organizations. The first being Goodson and Associates Architects, the premier church architectural firm in the Southeast having worked with over 400 different church congregations from 1971 to 1996 in capacities of master-planning, design, development, document preparation, and construction administration; serving only one client, the Church. The second being The Foxhollow Company, which had successfully served many churches with strategic planning and financial consultation for over fifteen years prior to becoming part of the current organization; assisting in financing transactions totaling over 200 million with its' involvement in facility planning, relocation, development, financing, operation management, and church administration. Since our origin, as shown through our Portfolio of over 650 relationships, we have dedicated our talents and capabilities to the design of facilities that not only meet the specific functional needs of our clients but also support the growth and aesthetic quality of the community around them. Through the use of modern materials, cost effective planning, and with our specialized knowledge of the unique requirements of individual project types; we are able to design facilities that not only meet space needs, but express the owner’s goals to the general community in the most positive manner. As the built environment continues to strengthen the community; Foxhollow Goodson, with our excellent staff and unequalled expertise within the field of assembly and educational architecture, will continue to serve through all phases of a building's design and construction; maintaining our constant objective to serve by providing quality design--functional and aesthetic--based on clear understanding of the individual owner’s needs, budget, and time schedule.
Our Philosophy of Service…
We have learned that the only fact of life, be it business or personal, is "expectation". It is our belief that the only way to make a difference is by meeting the expectations of our clients, employees, and community in a “relational” atmosphere. It is important to get to know our clients by developing personal relationships. If we know what is important to them, how they work and function, we can make intelligent decisions in terms of quality, time, and cost. The client has a forum to express and define their goals, with the assurance that the team will make well-informed decisions and work at a higher level of professionalism and accountability in achieving these targets; the employees experience the best environment for learning to serve others, understanding the business of professional service, and cultivating a sense of ownership in their efforts; and the communities are enhanced as these tools for ministry are created. We are extremely sensitive to our client’s goals, program, and budget. Small things make a difference. . .making employees part of the team, listening to and serving our clients, providing the best use of our client’s resources, and ultimately meeting our client's expectations.
