What C J Bayliss (Hereford) Ltd, Building Construction does

C J Bayliss (Hereford) Ltd is a family-owned building construction firm founded in 1955 by Cyril Bayliss and headquartered on the outskirts of Hereford, United Kingdom. The business is currently led by third-generation family members Michael Bayliss (Managing Director, grandson of the founder) and Ray Bayliss (Company Director, son of the founder), supported by a team of approximately 40 direct employees plus a layer of long-standing subcontractors. It operates within roughly a 90-mile radius of Hereford, delivering projects valued between £50,000 and £3 million across seven service categories: prestige builds, commercial developments, historic and Grade II listed church restorations, educational facilities, bespoke housing, small extensions, and residential/social housing developments, alongside an in-house heating and plumbing department offering ground-source heat pumps, solar heating and underfloor heating solutions.

The company's core technology is traditional building construction, with differentiated domain expertise in historic and ecclesiastical restoration, English Heritage-collaborative projects, and modern methods such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) construction — capabilities recognised by a 2017 Structural Timber Award and multiple LABC and heritage awards. Proprietary features include the integrated in-house Heating and Plumbing Department, which delivers sustainable building technologies including ground-source heat pumps, solar heating and underfloor heating across new builds and retrofit work. Trade accreditations (Guild of Master Craftsmen with Insurance Back Guarantee, NHBC, Constructionline, CHAS, Considerate Constructors Scheme, SSIP) underpin a quality and compliance positioning.

The revenue model is project-based, one-time construction contracts tendered or directly negotiated with clients, ranging from £50,000 small extensions to multi-year £3.5 million heritage or social housing jobs. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with a formal tendering process, leveraging direct client relationships, architect referrals (six named architecture firms including RRA, Hook Mason and Robert Kilgour Associates), and competitive tendering. Customer segments are institutional and diversified — educational institutions (Hereford Sixth Form College, Herefordshire & Ludlow College, Sutton St Nicholas Primary School), heritage/religious bodies (Hereford Cathedral), social housing providers and care operators (Connexus, Herefordshire Mind, Hampton Grange), commercial clients (Vertu Motors / Audi Hereford, Morgan Motor Company), and private residential clients served within a defined regional footprint.
