History
Smith & Associates was established in 1973 as a firm supplying complete drafting services of all types to local building contractors. We soon grew to become a firm which provided complete surveying needs for Architects, Engineers, Heavy and Highway, General, Mechanical, and Electrical Contractors in South Central Kentucky and North Central Tennessee.
DDS ENGINEERING was established in 1984 to provide our clients with an extensive array of services. Our staff of Engineers, Surveyors, and Technicians provide complete Surveying, Civil and Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Material Testing, Special Inspections and other custom services. Our affiliation with Architects, Structural Engineers, Geotechnical Engineers and Electrical Engineers allowed us to offer an even broader range of services to address all of our client's needs. Since our beginning, we grew to become a firm which provided complete surveying and design needs for Architects, Engineers, Municipal, Commercial, Industrial and Residential Developers, Heavy and Highway, General Mechanical and Electrical Contractors in South Central Kentucky and North Central Tennessee.
On October 01, 2001, Smith & Associates was completely merged with DDS ENGINEERING to form DDS ENGINEERING, PLLC. This move allowed DDS ENGINEERING, PLLC to provide totally integrated Land Surveying, Civil & Geotechnical Engineering, Construction Material Testing, Special Inspections, and related services.
In 2006, DDS ENGINEERING, PLLC, acquired from Mr. Charles Billingsley, PLS, the Billingsley Land Surveying business located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Mr. Billingsley began surveying in the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1967 and, alongside his team of top notch surveyors and crew members, surveyed his way across Christian County and the surrounding areas. This acquisition afforded DDS access to this longstanding client list as well as the data established through Mr. Billingsley’s 39 year portfolio. Today, DDS continues to carry forward the legacy that Mr. Charles Billingsley started!
In 2007, DDS ENGINEERING, PLLC, acquired Blakeman Land Surveying, a long standing, reputable land surveying firm that served Bowling Green and the surrounding areas for 31 years. Bernard (Bernie) Blakeman, PLS, principal of Blakeman Land Surveying, joined the staff of DDS during the merger. Mr. Blakeman brought years of experience and knowledge to our firm and has proven to be an invaluable asset with his wealth of knowledge and his attention to detail in research, reconnaissance, and data compilation being second to none.
