the DOHERTY

DIFFERENCE

OUR MISSION

built on integrity since 1959

At Doherty Steel, our mission has always gone beyond delivering high-quality products and services. Since our founding in 1959, we've believed that the most important thing we can build isn't just a structure; it's trust. That trust extends to our clients, our subcontractors, our employees, and the communities we've proudly served across Kansas City and the Midwest for over six decades.

That trust starts with relationships. We take the time to get to know every client we work with, because we believe a great project begins long before the first beam goes up. Understanding your goals, your timeline, and your expectations is just as important to us as the quality of the steel we put in place. When you work with Doherty, you're gaining more than a fabricator and erector; you're gaining a partner who is invested in your success from start to finish.

At the heart of everything we do is our reputation for fairness. We hold ourselves to the same high standards we expect from our team and our subcontractors, because integrity is something we apply consistently, every time. It runs through every decision we make, every project we take on, and every relationship we build. That's the Doherty Difference.

Whiting-Turner

“Doherty Steel has been a trusted partner for steel fabrication and erection since Whiting-Turner opened our regional offices throughout the Midwest. Not only have they provided exceptional preconstruction services helping from early budget development through final site logistics and planning, but they have also executed our construction schedules successfully, many times exceeding what has been required. We have worked with them on many different types of projects spanning from 40,000 square foot religious facilities to 2m+ square foot warehouses and most recently a complex Division 1 SEC football stadium expansion. We consider Doherty a highly valued partner for our projects in the region and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them on projects of any size.”
McCarthy

“Doherty has been a great partner on the Citizens Medical Center replacement hospital project. They spent the time and effort to include with their proposal a detailed and efficient plan to fabricate and erect our steel package. They were a true partner and helped work through various challenges and schedule slippage on the front end while still meeting all commitments from their initial proposal. Our experience with the entire Doherty team has been nothing but top notch and they have helped to deliver excellent results on a remote site in NW Kansas.”
McCownGordon

“Doherty Steel has been a partner with McCownGordon at Garmin headquarters for over 10 years working on multiple large projects from new manufacturing/warehouse buildings to office renovations and additions as well as many smaller projects that require close site coordination. Their ability to adapt quickly and provide the necessary resources to complete projects in a timely manner has helped us provide best in class service to our client. We appreciate Doherty’s team approach to projects and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.”
