Shops, schools, churches, libraries and so many more private and government projects that have been built for locals, by locals who have been employed by the enduring family business at Wivenhoe.
From George Town to Scottsdale to Smithton to Deloraine its expertise is there in every Roelf Vos supermarket ever built (and later became Woolworths).
The Education Department has relied on the company to build and develop many of its schools – a crew of around 20 are currently working under project supervisor Mark Hearps on the Parklands High School additions that already include a spectacular new library and auditorium being enjoyed by students.
