Your Trusted Multi-Trade Construction Partner in California
L B Construction was founded in 1992 by Vance Lancaster and Jordan Burns, two carpenters who envisioned a company that would deliver exceptional craftsmanship while prioritizing employee benefits and retirement. Over three decades, we evolved from a small framing operation into a multi-trade subcontractor with four core divisions: Rough Carpentry, Steel, Metal Stud/Drywall, and Concrete. In 2006, we became 100% employee-owned through an ESOP, reinforcing our commitment to shared success. Our 50,000-square-foot Roseville, CA facility supports projects across California, Nevada, and Oregon.With leadership transitioned to Kimberly Cook and Francisco Lopez in 2023, we continue to innovate through technologies like structural light gauge metal panels while maintaining our founding principles of quality, accountability, and community. Our AISC-certified steel fabrication and specialized divisions enable us to tackle complex commercial and industrial projects, from tilt-up warehouses to high-rise developments, with a focus on safety and efficiency.
