1 of 19 Cocktails and Raw Bar Opens in Downtown ...

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.

Who's On First?

When you work with Dow Smith Company to construct a new building, a tenant build-out, a renovation, or an addition to an existing facility, you’ll likely encounter a lot of our folks along the way. As design-builders, we can take a rough idea in your head and see it through the entire construction process to the day you open your doors for business.

We have a dedicated staff and we’re all here to serve you. So, because construction is complex and there are many moving parts, we want to make sure you know what everyone’s role is.

Answering The Needs of our Clients Every step of the Way

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.

In Memory of Bubba Woodfin

When I heard that Bubba Woodfin passed away, so many wonderful memories came to my mind.

Yes, I too have had the great experience of working with Bubba when we had to make final arrangements for the loss of loved ones, but I will always be indebted to Bubba Woodfin and Woodfin Memorial Chapel when they chose Dow Smith Company to build their new funeral home in 2000 to replace the one that got burned in a fire.

How is Dow Smith Company Different Than Other General Contractors?

During this time of global reset, everybody is being forced to make changes. We have used this time as an opportunity to take a deep look at ourselves, at Dow Smith Company and to discover who we really are and how we are different than other general contractors and design-build companies.

We recently started a journey by adopting the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). EOS has helped us get focused, clarify our company’s vision and achieve traction in an effort to become a healthy, focused leadership team and organization that makes continual progress towards achieving our goals and vision. In doing so, we have discovered three things that are unique to Dow Smith Company:

The Heartbeat of This Project Is the Next Generation

When the leaders at LifePoint Church in Smyrna decided they wanted to make some changes to their facility, they didn’t have to look far to find the right person for the job.

Dow Smith Company Partner and Design-Builder Joey Rhyne has attended the church for 18 years and has served on LifePoint’s board of directors several times.

More Thoughts From Dow During This Time of Crisis

It’s fairly safe to say that all of us have been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in one way or another. Last month, I wrote about the challenges of working during this uncertain time and the stresses that come with constantly adjusting to working conditions and navigating the ins and outs of the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Plan. I also wrote about how, in times like these, I lean on my faith.

Introducing Our Small Projects Division

Let’s face it. All businesses, large or small, have been affected in one way or another by the coronavirus outbreak. Some have had to modify the way they work while others have had to shut down completely. While we’re all searching for answers, one thing is certain: Someday, hopefully soon, businesses will be able to return to serving their clients. Many businesses are looking for ways they can be best prepared for that day.

Building a Dental Office Is Not Your Average Construction Project

If you're thinking about building or renovating a dental office, you've probably already realized this isn't your typical construction project. Creating an amazing dental space involves so much more than just putting up walls and installing some fancy chairs. It's about crafting an environment where patients feel at ease (even when they're nervous about that root canal!) and where your team can work efficiently to provide top-notch care.
