Every customer and visitor to this store is able to quickly see the quality of construction and attention to detail that marks this as one of our BEST stores in the Midwest Region.

Whole Foods Markets, being the nation's premier organic and natural foods grocery chain, seeks to find partners in building our stores that can join us in getting our message to the public. We negotiated our construction contracts for the Shell and Tenant Improvement package for our new 55,000 square foot store in Town and Country, MO with Bob Becker, president of Luke Draily Construction. The process allowed us to review all sub contractor bids and material purchases together through an open book policy and maintained a hands on management style that helped to monitor our budgets and see first hand the inner workings of Luke Draily. Bob and his entire staff were committed to value engineering our project throughout the design and construction process. They responded efficiently whenever redirection issues arose, never yielding the best of Quality and Craftmanship. Thanks to their excellent communication and dedication to detail, Whole Foods opened on time and on budget. Every customer and visitor to this store is able to quickly see the quality of construction and attention to detail that marks this as one of our BEST stores in the Midwest Region. It will be our plan to use Luke Draily Construction again and have, in fact already started conversations on several future projects.

Greg has gone out of his way and was relentless in his efforts to restore heat and water to the mechanical rooms at Oak Park Commons.

I wanted to express my appreciation for Greg the past couple of days. Greg has gone out of his way to restore heat and water to the mechanical rooms at Oak Park Commons. The simple act of sourcing heaters as been challenging given the extreme cold, and Greg was relentless in obtaining heaters and getting both temporary and permanent heat installed. His communication is impeccable and made the 800 mile barrier to our shopping center tolerable. You are lucky to have Greg on your team and we appreciate his efforts!

We could not be happier with the outcome of our project!

For years my wife and I had talked about building the dental office of our dreams. At the time, a project of that size seemed like a huge undertaking full of stress and the unknown. We had never done a large construction project and hardly even kew where to begin. With the help of Darrin Ingram and Luke Draily Construction, our dreams have become reality. Ever since our first meeting, we knew that Luke Draily was the partner we needed for our project. Darrin, our general contractor and project manager, was very open and honest from the beginning and made the entire process a great experience. Darrin spent a great deal of time making sure that the design was exactly how we envisioned it before we even broke ground. Our requests were the highest priority for Darrin and he often reminded us that the most important thing was making the building exactly how we wanted it. The construction phase of the project went extremely well considering we continued to operate during the expansion. We tripled the size of our building and never once had to close for construction reasons. This was one of our requests before we began construction so Darrin figured out how to make this happen without any problems. The attention to detail was quite remarkable and having a Superintendent from Luke Draily on site proved to be a huge help in managing workflow and completing the project on schedule. We could not be happier with the outcome of our project. Our team members are proud to work in this new environment and we can see their enthusiasm and excitement each and every day in our state-of-the-art facility. The original fear that we had of taking on this project was easily changed by the professionalism and expertise of Darrin and the Luke Draily team. We could not have done this without them and we plan on continuing our relationship in all future construction endeavors that we come upon.
