K & C Construction Ltd

What K & C Construction Ltd does

K & C Construction Ltd is a privately held UK general contractor founded in 1990 and headquartered in St Asaph, North Wales, with a second regional office in Warrington supporting North West England operations. The company delivers construction services across residential, commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, leisure, and civil engineering sectors, with a particular focus on social housing, healthcare facilities, and public sector projects delivered for housing associations, NHS trusts, local authorities, and private developers. Its client base includes ClwydAlyn Housing Association, with multiple repeat-engagement schemes, alongside NHS bodies and education institutions accessed via frameworks such as the £1bn Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA) framework and the Grwp Llandrillo Menai framework.

The business model is project-based general contracting, where revenue is generated through fixed-price and framework construction contracts awarded via competitive tender or direct appointment through pre-qualified procurement channels. Major contract values disclosed include a £13.2m residential scheme (Cae Bothan) and an active group construction pipeline exceeding £160m. Underlying operational capability rests on a 51-100 employee workforce, ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, NHBC and CHAS accreditation, and a sustained safety record demonstrated by 9+ consecutive RoSPA Gold Awards. The group extends beyond pure contracting via sister companies Pure Homes (residential development) and Pure Residential & Commercial Ltd, providing partial vertical integration into housebuilding.

Go-to-market is anchored in framework membership, which materially reduces the cost of winning public sector work and creates a defensible channel for repeat engagement. Pricing is contract-by-contract tender pricing on public frameworks and negotiated terms on repeat private work. Notable recent activity includes the Tŷ Seren healthcare facility commencement (Aug 2024), the restart of the stalled Builder's Street residential project from a failed developer (Apr 2024), and the Cae Bothan housing scheme start (Dec 2025), signalling active pipeline conversion rather than dependency on any single project cycle.
