Since 1952.

RE Smith Construction was founded in Joplin, MO in 1952 as a small carpentry and residential construction company. What began there has grown into one of the leading general contractors in the Four-State Area.

For over 70 years, we've built commercial facilities across Southwest Missouri as a family owned and operated business. Through changing markets and building codes, we're here to build up our communities.

A Reputation You Can Build On

Public bid work means our numbers get checked against every other bidder's, out in the open, every time. That's a level of scrutiny most contractors never have to answer to—and it's earned us a reputation worth more than any single project.
