Crafting excellence and building trust nationwide

OUR
History

At Vos Construction and Joinery, we are known for our high-quality craftsmanship in construction, joinery, and shopfitting nationwide.

OUR History

Vos Group began in 1954 when founder Roelf Vos opened a small gift shop in Deloraine, soon followed by a second store in Georgetown. Recognizing that, unlike gifts, food is a daily necessity, Roelf acquired a corner grocery store in Launceston.  He revolutionized northern Tasmania by introducing self-service shopping, growing the business into a chain of ten supermarkets, employing over 500 people. In 1982, the supermarket operations were sold to Woolworths.

In 1983, Roelf and his eldest son Michael began developing the Grindelwald Swiss Village, now Tamar Valley Resort. His second son, Harry, joined the venture in 1989. Mr. Vos passed away in 1992, having handed over leadership of the Vos Group to Michael. He is survived by his two sons and four daughters.

The Vos family shifted focus to property development and construction, acquiring Laver Pty Ltd, a leading Tasmanian construction and joinery firm, in 1997. In 2008, they expanded further with the acquisition of Matthews Constructions.

Today, Vos Construction and Joinery is a respected Tasmanian company known for its high-quality craftsmanship in construction, joinery, and shopfitting nationwide.
