Building a reliable reputation in Jersey

ROK Construction

As a construction company that specialises in both the private and commercial sectors, ROK Construction has developed a strong reputation for reliability within the industry.

The Jersey based company believe in building long-lasting working relationships with both their clients and suppliers and it is this innovative approach that has helped ROK Construction become a leading name on the island.

Founded in 2007, ROK Construction is guided by company directors Graham Seaford and Robert Matthews. The company specialises in the construction of commercial, industrial and residential new build projects, along with office refurbishments and shop fit-outs.

ROK Construction is currently involved in a number of development schemes that are helping to shape Jersey’s landscape, including a £420,000 project for the Jersey Oyster Company. Additional works include the £400,000 Clairmont project and a refurbishment project for the Jersey Gas Company.

The company is also well underway on an 18-week project that will transform the Endoscopy Ward at Jersey General Hospital. The £150,000 project began in January 2012 and involves the reconfiguration of the existing ward, along with a number of alterations to electrical services. Jersey General Hospital will remain fully operational during the project so ROK Construction is making every effort to ensure that disruptions are kept to a minimum.

Using their substantial experience, ROK Construction aims to ensure that each project is delivered with quality, safety and value for money in mind. The company is also aware of the need to protect the environment and therefore identifies and minimises any potential risks to the environment at the start of each project, in addition to using sustainable materials wherever possible.

ROK Construction Commercial Manager, Chris Matthews, said:

“Every time a tender comes in, Graham, Robert and I will sit down and assess what the project will involve. We never take on a project if we don’t believe that we can deliver it on time and to a high standard.

“When working on a new project, we are aware that our clients have a budget that they need to adhere to and they cannot incur additional costs. We believe it is our job to help them achieve their goal without going over their budget and this could range from advising on value engineering ideas to liaising with the design team to offer our input into the most practical and efficient ways for a project to be constructed.

“We continually liaise with clients during construction in order to ensure that our development matches their vision and the work is finished to the highest standard.”

He added:

“At ROK Construction we are very competitively priced and we are well-known for our high quality service. We have a letter of recommendation from Jersey Gas for our work and we have established ourselves as one of the best contractors in Jersey.

“A lot of our projects come through word of mouth – especially the work we conduct on private houses. Indeed, sometimes we are the only tender on the selected tendering list. This is a massive boost for us and demonstrates just how good our reputation is.”
