At the forefront of commercial construction
At Luke Draily Construction, we focus on the big picture without letting the little details slip by. We earned our reputation as a top Kansas City commercial construction company with good old fashioned hard work.

The Luke Draily Construction Story
Rooted in Values. Built for the Future.
Luke Draily Construction began in 1997 with a simple but powerful philosophy—lead with integrity, treat people right, and build with purpose.
Our founder, Bob Becker, launched the company inspired by the values his parents lived by:
Trust. Accountability. Flexibility. Respect. Truth.
These aren’t just words to us. They’re the principles we live by—on every jobsite, in every relationship, and at every level of the company.
And it turns out, we weren’t the only ones who believed in that way of doing business.
Over the years, by forging strong relationships, embracing innovation, and staying relentlessly committed to quality, Luke Draily Construction has grown into one of the Top Ten Commercial Builders in the Kansas City Metro, as ranked by General Contractors Magazine.
We’ve also been recognized by:
🏆 Kansas City Business Journal:
– #25 on KC’s Fastest Growing Businesses (2023 & 2024)
– Top General Contractors (2024)
🏆 Ingram’s Business Magazine:
– Best in Business Award (2023)
Our growth has always been about more than numbers. It’s been about building trust, delivering results, and cultivating a team of people who care deeply about the work they do.
So… Who Are Luke and Draily?
We get this question all the time—and we love telling the story.
When Bob started the company, he had a business partner. At the time, Bob and his wife Stacey had a baby named Luke, and their partner had a daughter named Draily—born just days apart.
The name Luke Draily became a symbol of partnership, family, and building something meaningful from the ground up.
Although Bob took sole ownership a year later, the decision to keep the name was easy. By then, we had already built a strong reputation and a name people trusted. That spirit of trust, legacy, and collaboration still drives us today.
Looking Ahead
More than 28 years later, we’re still growing—but we’ve never outgrown our core values.
We’re building for the next generation of construction leaders—people who want more than a job. They want purpose, challenge, and a team that’s got their back.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to take the next step in your career, Luke Draily Construction is a place where craftsmanship meets culture, and where your work will always mean something.
