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.

Don’t make a million-dollar mistake.
In construction, even minor errors can be costly. And they add up quickly if you’re not careful.
We know you’re excited to start building, but rushing to the ground-breaking ceremony before you’re ready will catch up with you later. It’s critical in any project to get all of your ducks in a row.
That’s why due diligence is so important.

There are a handful of unique challenges when designing and building for dentists, and we’ve got a long history of finding practical solutions for these projects. Though they’re generally just a few thousand square feet, dental offices need to have treatment rooms, imaging space, an inviting lobby, administrative offices and lots of distinct specifications with respect to what we call MEP—mechanical, electrical and plumbing.
Dow Smith Company designs and builds churches, medical facilities and commercial buildings. While we know these buildings are just “stuff,” we design and build them to be alive, filled with energy, activity, and purpose. A key part of any project—big or small—is making sure that our clients have the right building for their mission.
Over the last two decades, the construction industry has slowly evolved as it promotes diversity in the workplace. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most male-dominated industries in the world with women making up just 10% of the total number of workers in the industry. At Dow Smith Company, we understand that women bring tremendous value to our team. Their fresh perspective allows us to find solutions to challenges we might not ordinarily find, and their attention to detail is exemplary.

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?
