For the fifth consecutive year, Dow Smith Company has been named a Certified Best Christian Workplace by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute.
Dow Smith Company, a Middle Tennessee design-build firm, specializes in commercial, healthcare and church construction projects, ranging from ground-up construction to renovations and additions. Since the company was founded by Dow Smith in 1992, it has worked with hundreds of businesses and churches in Middle Tennessee.
“It is an honor to receive this important certification again this year,” Smith said. “Since the beginning of our company, we have put faith at the center of our work.”
Dow Smith Company was one of 189 faith-based organizations to be honored this year as a Certified Best Christian Workplace. These organizations received exemplary ratings from their employees, who completed BCWI’s employee engagement survey last year. All of the organizations were evaluated according to BCWI’s FLOURISH model: fantastic teams, life-giving work, outstanding talent, uplifting growth, rewarding compensation, inspirational leadership, sustainable strategy, and healthy communication.
Dow Smith Company was the only Tennessee company to make the list in the category of Christian Owned Business.
“We operate with complete transparency. We speak openly and honestly from the very first meeting and provide you with a clear and specific plan for moving forward,” Smith said. “We share what we have seen work—and not work—from more than 25 years in the business, and we will utilize our applicable talents, skills, experience and resources to meet your current and future needs.”
At Dow Smith, our core values are:
Integrity – We will do what we say and expect that from others.
Honesty – When we make mistakes, we will own them.
Safety – We will feel safe and not tolerate threats and/or hazards.
Family – Our families are more important than our career.
Quality – Our product will look good and will last.
Productivity – We will deliver our services in a timely manner and be diligent in our efforts.

Dow Smith Company has worked with clients such as Murfreesboro Medical Clinic, Smile Doctors, Premier VetCare, Title Boxing Club, Sloan’s Motorcycle & ATV, Franklin Synergy Bank, Grace Pediatrics, Fortress Square Shopping Center, LifePoint Church and Veterans Parkway Church of Christ.
“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.”
