Fredericksburg firm wins another large contract

Sean Haynes

Fredericksburg-based Lifecycle Construction Services Inc. recently received a $22.6 million contract from the U.S. Army to provide design-build services at three military installations in Georgia and one in North Carolina over the next year.

That comes on the heels of Lifecycle being awarded a U.S. Navy contract worth up to $75 million for construction services on three military installations in South Carolina.

Lifecycle, whose 3,000-square-foot office is at 1315 Jefferson Davis Highway near the Allman’s barbecue restaurant, this year placed 153rd on the annual Inc. magazine list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Fourteen of the company’s 30 employees work in the Fredericksburg office.

Lifecycle President and CEO Sean Haynes, who has had a long career in project design and construction, started the company in the Washington area five years ago. Since then the firm has won more than $1.2 billion in long-term contracts with federal and state agencies.

Haynes moved the company to Fredericksburg in 2009 because he and his wife didn’t want to raise their family in Northern Virginia, and he saw the region as a good central location to reach Lifecycle’s customers. Fredericksburg’s inclusion in the federal government’s HUBZone program played a big role in the decision to relocate.

Haynes said his firm will probably stay in its current office for another year and then look to expand by buying an office or building a new one. He anticipates hiring more people locally.
