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.
Construction is among the most dangerous industries in America, according to the National Safety Council.
“There are a lot of things that can go on with construction each and every day that can put our workers at risk of getting hurt,” Safety Coordinator Jason Tigg says on the most recent episode of our From The Ground Up podcast
Dow Smith Company has been in business since 1992. We’ve learned a lot about what to do and what not to do.
What we’ve found over the years is that the traditional method of construction—where the client hires a design team on their own and then brings it to general contractors and takes a low-bid approach—doesn’t work.
Not all of our clients need a brand-new, ground-up facility. Sometimes they simply need a minor renovation or an office build-out. But they need more than just a handyman with a hammer.
Our Service and Small Projects Division was created to accommodate those requests.
It’s not uncommon for people to want to lose weight, save money, and quit bad habits. What’s less common is for people to set goals and stick to them.
On the latest episode of our From The Ground Up podcast, Dow Smith Company Director of Well-being Holley Potts discusses what you can do to create practical New Year’s resolutions—and achieve them.
There’s a problem with having a design that includes every single thing you can dream of: It’s often impossible to afford.
On the latest episode of our From The Ground Up podcast, Dow Smith Company Partner and CEO Joey Rhyne explains why determining your budget early on is so important and why the Design-Build Method can help prevent costly mistakes.
It’s the Thanksgiving season. And I love Thanksgiving. I try to practice and express thankfulness and gratitude daily. Some days I do better than others.
It has been my experience that gratitude begins in our hearts and then pours into our behavior. And when we behave in a grateful manner, a healthy sustainable harvest of abundance returns.
Our core values—passion, caring, hustle, and detail—are the foundation for the work we do every day at Dow Smith Company. But did you know there's a story behind each one of our core values?
On the latest episode of our From The Ground Up podcast, Dow explains how our employees played a role in helping us determine our core values and how those values guide us in our relationships with each other, our clients, and ourselves.
After some time off, the Dow Smith Company podcast “From The Ground Up” has returned with Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Loyal as the new host.
The podcast, which will be released twice a month, will feature clients, friends, and employees of DSC, including our Visionary Dow Smith, and our CEO Joey Rhyne.
Friday, August 25th finally arrived! It may have been warm but the sun was shining! It was the day we could use our new Outdoor Amphitheatre for our first House Celebration of the school year. Our stage showcased a banner for each of the six houses, a bright red carpet, and music that was blaring the song Celebration. Staff members danced with students as the YMCA song was playing.
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.
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.
For growing businesses, the decision to renovate or build a new facility is a significant strategic move. While economic uncertainties often lead to hesitation, a closer look at current economic trends and projections for 2026 and 2027 reveals a compelling window of opportunity for forward-thinking companies to invest in their physical infrastructure.
