RaganSmith Officially Rebrands to Pape-Dawson
NASHVILLE, TN (January 7, 2026) – Pape-Dawson, one of the nation’s leading civil engineering and professional services firms, is proud to announce that RaganSmith has officially rebranded and is now Pape-Dawson. This transition marks the full integration of RaganSmith into Pape-Dawson’s business systems, providing a more seamless experience for the firm’s clients and employees.
The move follows the 2024 acquisition of RaganSmith, which served as Pape-Dawson’s inaugural expansion into the Tennessee market. Since then, the two firms have worked closely together to deliver projects and integrate teams and processes. With a history of service beginning in 1933 and four office locations across the state’s fastest-growing regions, RaganSmith has built a legacy of local expertise and client trust, now backed by Pape-Dawson’s national resources and technical depth.
“RaganSmith has long been defined by a deep, genuine commitment to Tennessee’s communities,” said Cara Tackett, Chief Operating Officer, Expanding Markets at Pape-Dawson. “By moving forward as one brand, we are building upon RaganSmith’s strong reputation and providing added capacity to project teams to promote a consistent client experience.”
“Our history as RaganSmith is the foundation of everything we do, but our future as Pape-Dawson allows us to scale that excellence,” said Allen Ramsey of RaganSmith. “Operating as one team streamlines our ability to collaborate and ensures that we remain the first choice for complex and impactful projects across Tennessee and beyond.”
