Meet the Consultants

With experience working alongside some of the region’s top companies like Swedish and Vulcan, Barry Cobb is no stranger to major construction projects. As president of general contracting company LCS Construction, Barry’s team specializes in general construction, tenant improvements and construction management. 

As a minority business owner, Barry is grateful and encouraged by WSCC’s initiative to offer these opportunities for small minority businesses. “If we hadn’t been invited to participate,” he says, “and if WMBE opportunities were not specifically preserved and promoted for minorities or small business, I don't see how LCS would have been exposed to the Addition project.”

The LCS Construction team recently renovated the new Clark/Lewis offices in the 8th + Olive building to support the Addition team’s collaborative space needs for the duration of the project. Once the Addition is framed out, LCS Construction will provide wall and ceiling specialties as well.

Barry first heard about the WSCC Addition project through a WMBE advocate and knew it could be an important venture for LCS. As a small contractor, Barry and his team benefit from the unique opportunity to work alongside Clark/Lewis– the prime contractor and construction manager for the Addition. Says Barry, “A lot of the processes and procedures that have been shared with us in our work with Clark/Lewis can now be incorporated into future business plans at LCS.”
