Located just outside of Independence in southeast Kansas, Davis Contracting started out as a small, family owned business in the mid 1980's performing janitorial and contract work for the local office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  

The family business began to establish itself as opportunities to provide services became available from other agencies including the US Army Corps of Engineers.  

Since 1991, Davis Contracting has performed a multitude of service-oriented tasks for various lakes operated by the Corps including construction work.
