Bayer Construction

What Bayer Construction does

Bayer Construction Co Inc is a privately held, employee-owned commercial construction contractor and aggregate materials producer headquartered at 120 Deep Creek Road, Manhattan, Kansas. Founded in 1935 by Henry Bayer and transitioned to employee ownership in 1993, the company self-performs site development (clearing, demolition, earthwork, grading, soil stabilization), utility installation and repair (water lines, sanitary sewer, storm water, erosion control), and asphalt and concrete paving for commercial and government customers across the Flint Hills region and North Central Kansas. It operates more than 150 employees and maintains an asphalt plant in Junction City serving a 45-mile radius, an integrated rock excavation capability, and a 4.8/5.0 customer rating across 24 reviews.

The company pairs its contracting operations with a vertically integrated materials supply chain built around six quarry locations (Ebert, Hayden/Tarkio, KS Falls, Martin, Stevens, K-16) producing crushed limestone aggregates, AB-3 base, road rock, washed filter rock, ditch lining, and rip-rap, plus portable crushing plants deployed at project sites in the Flint Hills. A wholly-owned subsidiary, Tarkio CD Disposal LLC, operates a KDHE-licensed construction demolition landfill with roll-off container services in five sizes (10-40 cubic yards), and the firm uses a KDHE-approved air-curtain burner for on-site land clearing disposal. Differentiators cited are the combination of regional quarry density, employee-ownership workforce, regulated C&D disposal, and portable crushing capability.

Bayer Construction contracts directly with commercial customers and government entities on a per-project basis, offering free estimates across site development, utilities, paving, and materials lines. Revenue is generated through project-based construction services contracts and hardware sales of aggregates from its own quarries, plus professional-services-style disposal fees at the Tarkio CD landfill. The go-to-market is sales-led: phone inquiries, website callback requests, and customer referrals, supported by listings and association memberships (NSSGA, LICA, AGC, KAPA, Kansas Aggregates Producers Association). Geographic scope is regional, with all operations and known assets located in Kansas and no disclosed multi-state footprint.
