We recently completed work on 1 of 19 Cocktails and Raw Bar. The new bar and restaurant, located at 103 N. Maple Street in Murfreesboro, is open now. 1 of 19 is owned by Shawn and Christy Hackinson, the owners of the popular downtown Murfreesboro restaurant The Alley on Main. The Alley on Main is known for its steak, seafood, and scratch-made pasta dishes.
When the Hackinsons decided to open a cocktail bar around the corner from The Alley on Main, they knew exactly who to call.
When Dr. Jeff Leech opened his new dental office on Memorial Boulevard this year, he was all smiles.
Leech first started working with Dow Smith Company a decade ago, when DSC built out a space for him in a suite on Old Fort Parkway. But, the successful Leech Family Dentistry added patients quickly and, before he knew it, Leech had a problem.
The new MMC building, located at 3626 Shelbyville Pike, is home to MMC’s gastroenterology, gynecology, internal and family medicine, pediatrics, lab services and radiology services. DSC’s 10+ year working relationship with MMC began when they needed a walk-in clinic inside the Kroger on Lascassas Pike in Murfreesboro.
Fountains at Gateway, a vibrant 31-acre corporate office campus and retail center located in Murfreesboro, is home to Murfreesboro Medical Clinic’s newest facility—a growing medical spa, dermatology and plastic surgery practice. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Albert Kattine and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brad Medling now provide a high level of service and amenities to patients throughout Middle Tennessee. The brand, new 17,000-square-foot space includes 6,000 square feet on the first floor and 11,000-square feet on the second floor.
One little-known aspect of commercial construction is the estimating process – one that is typically associated with the assumption that the contractor overcharges the client for material and labor costs. The estimating and project coordination team at Dow Smith Company makes it their mission to ensure each of our clients receives a quality result, all while staying on schedule and, most importantly, on budget. In order to avoid costly change orders and mistakes Estimator and Project Coordinators Dana Mitchell and Andrea Fall and Partner and Design-Builder Joey Rhyne are involved with every project from schematic budget to close-out.
It’s not unusual for us to get a phone call from a healthcare provider who is nearing the end of his or her lease and has decided to look at other options. The benefits of owning your own facility are many—being your own landlord, having the ability to customize your workspace, building equity, and even creating an additional revenue stream.
Did you know that disengaged employees cost the global economy $8.9 trillion every year? According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report, employee engagement plays a significant role in overall life experiences. When it comes to well-being items such as stress, anger, worry, and loneliness, being actively disengaged at work is the same as—or even worse than—being unemployed.
Last week, Dow Smith Company celebrated the placement of the final steel beam at our latest project with Murfreesboro Medical Clinic (MMC). The topping out ceremony was an important milestone on MMC’s two-story facility, which is set to open in Lascassas next year. MMC CEO Joey Peay said he’s been excited to see all the hard work at the jobsite.
As businesses expand and evolve, the question of physical space inevitably arises. For many growing companies, the immediate thought might be to lease a larger existing property or renovate their current one. However, a compelling argument can be made for the strategic decision to build a new ground-up facility.
