For the ninth consecutive year, Dow Smith Company has been named a Certified Best Christian Workplace by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute. This certification is based entirely on a survey of our employees.

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.
At Dow Smith Company, our purpose is to serve. That spirit of service shows up in the way we take care of each other, the exceptional and unique experiences we provide clients, and in our dedication to the community in which we live and work. We recently completed a bathroom restoration project at Smyrna Middle School (SMS). This project comes after we built an outdoor theater for Smyrna Elementary School in 2023 and a new field house for Smyrna High School in 2024.
At Dow Smith Contracting Company, our intention is to provide an exceptional and unique experience for all. In order to provide this experience, we must have a zero punch list mentality from the day we start a project and remain consistent and disciplined until completion.
After growing up in Washington State and working construction for most of his life, Joel Tellez wound up in Smyrna, where he became a superintendent for Olympian Construction. One day, he was sitting in the pickup line at Thurman Francis Arts Academy in his work truck when Dow Smith—who also had kids at the school—came over and struck up a conversation. A few months later, Joel was working at DSC. Last week, he celebrated 20 years with the company.
