About BR Systems

We're still serving — now in commercial construction.

A veteran-led general contractor built on the discipline, ownership, and mission focus we learned in uniform.

Founded by an engineer. Run like a mission.

BR Systems was founded in 2022 by Luke Dressman. After earning a systems engineering degree from West Point and serving as an Army Engineer Officer — including in combat — Luke finished his military career with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Nashville, where his focus on institutional construction took hold.

BR Systems is a veteran-led company. A majority of our leadership team are veterans, and many are combat veterans. That shapes how we operate, how we lead, and how we treat people — and it shows up on every jobsite.

Our mission is to create opportunities for the next generation of builders to build and maintain the infrastructure people depend on.

That approach has earned recognition: BR Systems was named the 2026 Tennessee Veteran-Owned Small Business of the Year, honored in Autodesk's 2026 40 Under 40: Champions of Construction, and won the 2025 West Point Entrepreneurship Pitch Competition.

Whatever it takes

When the mission mattered, we ran around the clock.

The main transit station in Lexington serves a lot of people — including those who need a place to get out of the elements. A major winter storm was coming, and the schedule mattered. For nearly two weeks, our team ran almost around-the-clock, rotating shifts to get the building open. We turned it over a week early — on the day the storm hit — so the doors could open and people could come inside and get shelter.

We've renovated military barracks — we're on our fourth now, one of them housing soldiers who used to be in Luke's platoon. We've worked in hospitals, renovated a pharmacy, and built facilities communities rely on. We may no longer be serving overseas, but we're still serving.
