    One thing about construction… you have to see it up close to really appreciate it. Yesterday we had an incredible time touring the Big Walnut Tunnel project with members of National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC Columbus) alongside the amazing team at Smoot Construction. Hard hats on. Safety vests zipped. And a firsthand look at the scale of infrastructure that keeps our communities running. Projects like this don’t just move water. They move cities forward. And it was powerful to experience it together with women from across the industry during Women in Construction Week. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the tour and to the SMOOT CONSTRUCTION team who helped make it happen as well as our partners Obayashi Corporation (North American Regional Headquarters) and LJB Inc. for accommodating us. More events to come this WIC week and I’m loving every minute of celebrating the women helping build our communities. #WICWeek #NAWIC #WomenInConstruction #SmootConstruction #ColumbusConstruction

  • Smoot Construction was proud to attend the Columbus Metropolitan Club’s Annual Blue Chip Economic Forum, joining leaders from across the region to explore the forces shaping Central Ohio’s future. As the CMC enters its 50th year and Smoot approaches our 80th, the forum offered a meaningful reminder: celebrating milestones matters—but planning for what comes next matters just as much. The insights shared reinforced the importance of thoughtful leadership, collaboration, and long-term vision as our community continues to grow. We’re reflecting on the forum’s findings as we look ahead to a brighter, stronger future—for our business, our industry, our families, and the communities we serve. This milestone year at Smoot is not only about honoring our past, but about using what we’ve learned to build responsibly and intentionally for generations to come. Thank you to the Columbus Metropolitan Club for hosting an impactful conversation and for fostering dialogue that helps move our region forward. #SmootConstruction #ColumbusMetropolitanClub #BlueChipEconomicForum #80YearsStrong #BuildingTheFuture #CommunityLeadership #EconomicOutlook

  • A new year brings reflection—and for Smoot Construction, it also brings a meaningful milestone. As we enter our 80th year of operation, we’re reminded that legacy is not measured only in years, but in impact. Since 1946, Smoot has grown as a fourth-generation, family-owned construction management firm, shaped by values of integrity, excellence, and opportunity. Eighty years represents thousands of projects, partnerships, and people—but more importantly, it reflects a commitment to building lasting relationships, mentoring future leaders, and creating spaces that strengthen communities. Our legacy is rooted not only in what we build, but in how we build and who we build with. As we look ahead, we do so with gratitude for the clients who trust us, the partners who collaborate with us, and the team members—past and present—who make Smoot what it is today. Here’s to honoring the foundation laid before us and continuing to build forward with purpose, care, and vision. #SmootConstruction #80YearsStrong #BuildingLegacy #NewYearReflection
