In 1972 Don Mowat Drury established the Don M. Drury Company on Bainbridge Island, Washington. By doing so, Don fulfilled his destiny as a third generation contractor. Grandfathers Ralph Drury and Andrew Mowat were both key figures in the shaping of Seattle. Grandfather Drury was the engineer who conceived the innovative round-the-clock conveyor system that carried Denny Hill off into Elliot Bay. Grandfather Mowat participated in the construction of many Seattle landmarks, including the original Pike Place Market.
Public bid work through the U.S. Navy and area schools characterized the majority of projects for Don M. Drury Company during this time that Don built a foundation of construction excellence on which the company still stands today. Although the name changed to Drury Construction Co., Inc. in 1977, the foundation of quality, expertise, integrity and trust remained the same. As Drury Construction's reputation for excellence continued to grow, it was natural that public bids gave way to a concentration in private negotiated work.
Today, Don Drury shares ownership of Drury Construction with five long time employees, Rick Cadwell, Bruce Corey, Gail Fleming, Brian Russell and Roger Wagner. Through them and under the mentorship of Don, the tradition of Drury Construction's excellence will continue.
 “In short, I highly recommend Drury Construction Company to anyone who has a project they want handled with creativity, enthusiasm, integrity and good grace”
 ~ Tamela Van Winkle Director Facility and Capital Projects Bainbridge Island School District
