Streamlining the Complexities of Commercial Construction

Nothing tops commercial construction for its sheer intricacy. Smitty’s will help in every aspect of your job – from bid to finish. No matter what type of construction you’re involved in, the complexities of managing the process are vast and detailed. The Commercial and Multi-Family housing division was formed to provide unparalleled customer service combined with aggressive pricing to the commercial and multi-family contractors operating in the Washington DC metropolitan area.

Our veteran team dedicated exclusively to large commercial projects combines experience, expertise and drive with a flexible array of products and services that are customized to fit your unique needs. This process helps the builder avoid having extra or wrong material at the job site and gets material there when you need it, saving in construction costs.

This highly effective team approach focuses on working with you from the early conceptual, planning stages through completion, helping you finish your project on time and within budget. Our track record illustrates the success of this team approach, with complete attention to detail. By working with a personalized team we posses the ability to adapt to your current system allowing you the ability to stay updated on the amounts of both material and dollars spent on each project, and with separate job accounting you know how much you have spent on each project, be it on the original contract or on extras purchase orders.
Smitty’s is proud to carry more than $6 million in inventory from the leading suppliers to the lumber and building materials industry.Whether you need lumber by the piece or by the truck load Smitty’s can service your job, and we have the capabilities to mix truckloads of products and store material in our yard to prevent unnecessary damage and theft during the construction phase.
