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 commercial contractor in Kansas City with good old fashioned hard work.

The Luke Draily Construction Story
Bob Becker founded Luke Draily Construction Co. in 1997 with a business approach based on the values he learned from his parents:
We believe that trust, integrity and flexibility are imperative to doing business, that people should treat others as they want to be treated, and that our word should stand for something: The Truth.
It turns out, Bob wasn’t alone. Years of fostering strong working relationships, holding ourselves accountable, and innovating in the industry saw us through incredible growth.
More than 25 years later, we stand as one of the Top Ten Commercial Builders in the KC Metro according to General Contractors Magazine. We’ve been recognized as the fastest growing construction company in the KC area and have numerous Capstone Awards and List Recognition from the Kansas City Business Journal and Ingram’s Business Magazine.
Where did the name Luke Draily Construction come from?
We get this question a lot.
When Bob started the company, he had a partner for the first year. Bob and Stacey’s baby at the time was named Luke. Their partner had a baby the same age and you guessed it, her name was Draily. Thus the company name Luke Draily was born. Even after taking over the company, the decision to keep the name was easy considering we had already built outstanding name recognition and strong company reputation in only a year’s time.
