IBC

What IBC does

IBC Carpentry LLC is a woman-owned commercial carpentry and specialty trade contractor founded in 2009 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The firm specializes in interior finish contracting across six integrated capability areas: doors, frames and hardware; casework; countertops; architectural millwork; Division 10 specialties; and rough carpentry. These services are delivered primarily as a subcontractor to general contractors on commercial projects spanning healthcare, corporate, financial, entertainment, education, cultural, industrial, mixed-use, and government sectors, with notable project work at sites including KCI Airport, KU Anderson Family Football Complex, Chase Bank branches, Children's Mercy Hospital, and the Nuuly fulfillment center.

The company operates two distinct business units under common ownership: IBC Carpentry LLC, focused on interior finish contracting, and IBC Traffic, Inc., which provides road striping and traffic control services. Revenue is project-based, with pricing determined per scope and bid through relationships with general contractors rather than via published rate cards. The workforce is composed of union craftspeople trained and managed internally, and the firm has grown to 226 employees across three Kansas City-area offices since its founding from a home-based operation by Brandy McCombs and Jeff Pollock.

IBC acquires work through long-standing partnerships with regional and national general contractors—including Whiting-Turner, A.L. Huber, Brinkmann Constructors, Ryan Companies, Evardy Construction, McCownGordon, Burns & McDonnell, JE Dunn, Turner Construction, and Monarch Build—often paired with architects such as GastingerWalker&. The company has completed over 1,100 projects across both divisions, served 100+ customers, and reported 30% revenue growth in 2023. A partnership with Purpose Technology Group supports operational digitization, and the firm has earned regional recognition including the Ingram's "50 Missourians You Should Know," the 2025 KC Business Journal Fast 50, and the Mr. K Award for women-led businesses.
