Golden Construction

Golden & Associates Construction LLC is a family-owned construction firm, founded in 1997 by Geoff Golden.

In its first year, Golden had six employees and earned $1 million in revenue. Greg Pyburn joined the company as vice-president in 1999. By 2004 the company employed 40 people and had revenues of $17.5 million.

Golden's offices are located in a former Birmingham Water Works mechanical and electrical building building at 2214 1st Avenue South. They renovated the 10,000 square-foot historic structure for their headquarters in 2005, moving from a smaller office space in the nearby Bebco building.

In 2007 the company was named "Contractor of the Year" by the Associated Builders and Contractors of Alabama. In January 2017 it merged with the design-build firm Appleseed Workshop. The combined company's design services were marketed under the Golden Appleseed name. In 2018 the company rebranded as Creature.
