From preconstruction to final close-out, Dow Smith Company
provides you with full-service construction solutions.
You can rely on Dow Smith Company to guide you through every step of the pre-construction phase. Our services include site evaluation, project and design development, preliminary budgets, value engineering and blueprints.
With the design-build construction delivery method, Dow Smith Company serves as the single source and maintains full accountability for the project. This saves you time, money and headaches while ensuring your needs, objectives, schedule, and budget are fully met.
As a general contractor, Dow Smith Company works with the owner and the architect under the traditional design-bid-build method to review plans and construction documents, develop a schedule, select subcontractors, and construct the project as designed.
Dow Smith Company specializes in tenant improvement and build-outs. We transform an existing space to best suit your needs–now and into the future. Whether your facility requires more office space or the installation of specialized equipment, the Dow Smith team can tackle any interior or exterior improvements required.
Dow Smith Company has a proven history of revitalizing buildings for today’s use and taking advantage of local municipal incentives, federal tax credits, distressed real estate prices, and federal grants. Restoring, converting, updating or adding-on presents unique opportunities for new or expanding operations and services.
Our team talks to a lot of physicians, business owners and church building committees who are trying to decide if it’s time to stop leasing, build or renovate existing space, or purchase land and build. To help those who want to purchase land and build, we have access to excellent properties throughout the middle Tennessee area.
“After meeting with Dow Smith Company, it was clear that they were the right choice for the job. Throughout the process they were there to help guide us and make sure we were all on the same page. They are all genuine, caring individuals. We were able to work through any challenges that arose and come to agreeable decisions. Even after our project was finished, they were open to helping us with anything that we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of individuals and recommend them highly for any future projects.”
— Kyndon Oakes, Owner, Title Boxing
“Dow did our first build-out in Spring Hill, and we really got to know each other. Before meeting Dow, I had experience with other construction companies, and there’s just no comparison between them and Dow’s degree of attention to his business.”
— Dr. Mark Hughes, FAAP, Grace Pediatrics
“We didn’t even look at any other construction companies. I knew Dow Smith and was impressed with them all the way. They do what they say they will do, and that is rare in this world. They are people of integrity. They were the only group we were interested in working with.”
— Wilson Adams, Pastor, Veterans Parkway Church of Christ

For growing businesses, the decision to renovate or build a new facility is a significant strategic move.

As I’ve said a few times now, my winning Business Person Of The Year really means that WE won Business Of The Year. As far as I’m concerned, there is no better place to work in Rutherford County, Tennessee, and maybe the world. But that’s not because of me…that’s because of you.
Let’s be honest. The cheapest option isn’t going to be the best one. Everyone knows that. It’s common sense. We can all be lured in by low prices. But that’s a terrible idea if you’re planning a construction project. Imagine you’re a business owner. You’ve spent years—maybe your whole life—dreaming of the business you want to run and getting to do the job you love. You’ve thought about the clients you want to serve and the community you want to impact. And now it’s time to design and build the place where you’ll do business. Do you really want to go with the lowest bidder?
