Project Delivery: Design-Build
Project Scope: New warehouse and office building
Global Product Sources, LLC (GPS) is a premier global sourcing company, helping with the ideation, sourcing, and delivery of innovative products to their clients. This design-build project involved the construction of a 9,520-square-foot warehouse and 4,000-square-foot office. The building consists of a contemporary pre-engineered metal structure with a decorative stone façade.
With limited access to the building site and shared use with a neighboring retailer, the Dow Smith team had to be creative with site development and scheduling. Additionally, working through the City’s permit process, all while meeting GPS’s manufacturing needs, proved to be challenging.
Despite these obstacles, the Dow Smith team was able to deliver a modern-style structure and open office space that matched the culture of GPS. Special rigging equipment was installed in the warehouse to assist with the production of LED screens and a solar-powered electrical system was designed to offset GPS’s electrical costs. This project was a success thanks to a close relationship with and constant communication between the design team and GPS.
Dow Smith Company, Middle Tennessee’s leading design-build firm, has announced its official transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This landmark decision underscores the company's dedication to its most valuable asset, its employees, by granting them direct ownership and a vested interest in the company's continued success. The move is expected to further empower its long-standing workforce and solidify its reputation for delivering exceptional and unique client experiences.
