📢 EXCITING NEWS!! Drake Companies Announces Acquisition of Richard Drake Construction!

BUILT ON LEGACY - UNITED FOR THE FUTURE 💫

Drake Companies is proud to announce the acquisition of ownership interests in Richard Drake Construction (RDC), marking a significant milestone in the continued growth and alignment of its construction and materials platform. With an established presence across the southern U.S., and predominantly Texas, Drake Companies operations include TxDOT work, water and sewer infrastructure, general construction, hot mix asphalt production, aggregate and building supply, and logistics. The addition of RDC further strengthens this foundation, bringing together two organizations whose expertise, relationships, and reputations highly complement one another to create a more integrated and capable platform serving the full lifecycle of infrastructure and construction projects.

“The RDC legacy, people, and approach to the work align closely with ours, and we are excited to bring these teams together.
My career began at RDC and its only fitting for it to be a part of our next chapter.” said Brad Drake of Drake Companies.

As part of this next chapter, Drake Companies will thoughtfully align branding across its operations, with materials and plant operations transitioning under the C-Rae Materials name, with the construction services and logistics operating under the Drake brand. This evolution reflects a unified platform while maintaining continuity in service, relationships, and the strong foundation established by RDC. Drake Companies remains committed to honoring that legacy while continuing to invest in the people, operations, and communities that have made both organizations successful. This acquisition represents more than growth; it reflects a shared vision for the future of construction and materials across the region.
