Dr. Lisa Martin Eyecare

 

Owner: Dr. Lisa Martin
Location: 1610 Rock Springs Road, Smyrna, Tennessee
Project Delivery: Design-Build
Project Scope: Pre-construction services and new construction of a stand-alone eyecare facility

At about the same time Dr. Lisa Martin’s lease was about to expire, she was ready to expand her eyecare practice. So, she turned to Dow Smith Company. We were able to assist her in choosing a suitable lot, performing due diligence and securing the necessary rezoning to match her practice’s use.

The Martin Eyecare project includes new exam rooms, a high-end waiting room and reception area, functional administrative space, a contact lens room, a large optical dispensary and space for another physician. The new facility allowed Dr. Martin to double the size of her practice.

“Everybody—almost without exception—told me to go with Dow Smith. His great reputation truly does precede him. When you say build, people just say Dow Smith.””
— Dr. Lisa Martin, Owner, Martin Eyecare

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?
