From the Ground Up is a podcast from Dow Smith Company – a design-build firm that specializes in church, healthcare, and commercial construction. In each episode, we’ll feature people we’re interested in, projects we’re working on, and all the nuts and bolts of the design-build business. Put on your hard hat, plug in your headphones, and listen up.
When planning a new commercial or retail facility, one of the first decisions you’ll face is whether to pursue ground-up construction or to build out an existing structure. Each approach has its own set of advantages and challenges, and the choice ultimately depends on your specific business needs, budget, timeline, and long-term goals.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! It has been a wonderful year and we’re so grateful we got to share it with you. As we head into 2025, we look forward to continuing to be of service. Of all the things we build, we know the most important are the relationships we have with our friends, our clients, and our community.
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.
