Barsh Company, formerly known as Barsh Construction, has a rich history that dates back to its origin as a one-man operation run by W.H. Barsh, who leveraged his carpentry skills to fund his education at Baylor University Law School. After graduating and finding success in the contracting business, Barsh expanded his company over four decades, establishing a strong presence in the Central Texas construction industry.
Upon W.H. Barsh's passing in 1995, the company was sold to employees Vernon Leuschner and Tate Christensen, who preserved the founding philosophy of integrity, skill, and versatility in tackling diverse and challenging projects. Today, Barsh Company operates with an annual construction volume of ten to twelve million dollars, thriving in competitive bidding environments while also enjoying repeat business from satisfied clients such as Southwestern Bell Telephone Company and Texas Electrical Utilities Company.
The company has diversified its offerings to include design/build projects, demonstrating its capability through significant renovations like the Raleigh Building for the State of Texas and expansions at Lorena High School. Barsh Company prides itself on its extensive experience spanning industrial, commercial, and institutional construction, emphasizing the importance of maintaining in-house expertise and equipment. This approach enhances construction management, ensuring better quality control, timely project completion, and cost savings for clients.
Employing around fifty full-time employees alongside additional staff as necessary, Barsh Company highlights the performance of its own skilled tradespeople as a cornerstone of its success. Their operational strategy focuses on a hands-on approach to the construction process, which ultimately results in high-quality outcomes for a diverse range of challenging projects.
