Craig Nelson and Alette Anderson join the Rock team

To support and advance our delivery processes, Rock has taken on two new professionals at our head office in Chiswick. Joining our teams of estimators is Craig Nelson, who comes to us from his role as senior estimator at Proclad, one of Glasgow’s leading roofing contractors. “When it comes to preparing bid packages, Rock prides itself on attention to detail,” Craig says. “Whether the project is medium sized or extremely large and complex, our partnering architects, engineers or contractors know that the cost data we supply is honest and accurate. Years of experience in Scotland have taught me that my job doesn’t simply entail preparing time, cost and labour estimates, but giving customers something extra. By that, I mean bringing extra value to a client’s project by applying my knowledge of specialised methodologies, techniques, principles, or processes. I’m looking forward to helping Rock make any new build or refurbishment scheme more feasible and cost-effective, leading to a better end result for everyone.”

Also joining us is Alette Anderson, who as preconstruction administrator is the first point of contact when Rock is required to price a job. Alette worked previously at Structural Systems, a subsidiary of the P.C. Harrington Group, which specialises primarily in post tensioning, concrete repair and bridge maintenance services. Now focussing on waterproofing and renewable technology for Rock, Alette says she enjoys a high level of interaction with a range of key stakeholders, from the initial quote to final handover. “At Rock, I’ve found front line sales people and tender team colleagues all work together really well to help deliver sharp and highly compelling tender responses to potential clients. One of the most striking things I have already noticed in my time here is the very positive and dynamic atmosphere. People are genuinely encouraged to suggest new ideas that could be employed as part of Rock’s business plan. I know that, apart from Rock’s total professionalism, the UK’s biggest contractors are keen to work with us because they find our outlook and approach refreshing.”
