Parkway Baptist Church
Location: Smyrna, Tennesse
Project Scope: New church construction
The Dow Smith team completed construction of this new, 14,761-square-foot church in Smyrna, Tennessee. The project included a new worship hall, consisting of clear span construction with wood accents, administrative offices and ministry education space. The site’s topography required extensive work, delaying construction and constricting the church’s budget. Luckily, our team was able to overcome these setbacks and the congregation was able to occupy the building in 10 months.

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?
