AROK

What AROK does

AROK Construction Company, founded in 1972 and headquartered at 2819 West Grovers Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona, is a privately-held, three-generation family-owned subcontractor specializing in commercial metal framing and drywall installation. The company is led by the Cooper family — Brent Cooper (President), Brian Cooper (Vice President of Field Operations), and Scott Maki (Chairman) — and holds Arizona Residential (ROC# 043805) and Commercial (ROC# 096844) contractor licenses. AROK executes large-scale, complex construction projects across the United States, with a primary concentration in Arizona and active operations in California, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Utah. Over its 50-year history, the company has completed more than 500 projects spanning office buildings, resort hotels, casinos, shopping centers, NFL and spring training stadiums, theaters, concert halls, semiconductor fabs, hospitals, and data centers.

AROK delivers three core service lines. The flagship service is drywall and metal framing installation using classic gypsum panels and steel studs, executed with attention to layout, trims, finishing, and plumb framing. The second line is preconstruction services, covering budget planning, design assist, value engineering, schedule development, mock-ups, open-book bid review, guaranteed maximum price, and shared savings structures. The third is a green building service emphasizing sustainable construction using steel framing with an average of 48% recycled content, recyclable gypsum drywall, and waste-reduction practices. Marquee project credentials include the 1.7 million-square-foot University of Phoenix Stadium (Arizona Cardinals), Mayo Clinic East Expansion, HonorHealth Sonoran Crossing Medical Center, Intel Fab 42 (Chandler), TSMC's Gowning Building (Phoenix), Micron (Lehi, UT), the Tesla Gigafactory (Sparks, NV), Sun Devil Stadium (ASU), Desert Diamond West Valley Casino, and Mountain Shadows Resort.

AROK generates revenue as a project-based subcontractor, with no publicly disclosed pricing model and no standard recurring-revenue mechanics. Sales motion is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with general contractors and project owners, with the bulk of work accessed through partnerships with Tier 1 GCs such as AECOM Hunt, Skanska, McCarthy, Hensel Phelps, Balfour Beatty, Whiting-Turner, Sundt, and Okland Construction. Reported operational scale metrics include over $1 billion of cumulative product installed and more than 1 million craft hours recorded. Headcount is listed at 11–50 core employees, with field craft labor presumably scaled via subcontracted crews on a per-project basis. Marketing is primarily digital — the company website, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn — supplemented by a public project portfolio used to demonstrate scale to enterprise buyers.

• Baker Triangle: Dallas-headquartered drywall and metal framing subcontractor serving Texas and surrounding states. Comparable service mix (steel stud framing, drywall, acoustical), self-perform craft model, and GC-driven project acquisition make it a direct regional peer.
• Marek Brothers Systems: Texas-based drywall, framing, and insulation subcontractor operating across the Southwest. Comparable to AROK as a self-perform specialty sub with a multi-state regional footprint serving commercial and institutional projects through general contractors.
• Performance Contracting Group (PCI): National specialty contractor providing drywall, framing, insulation, and related interior services. Comparable scale, multi-region delivery, and GC-channel go-to-market make it a scaled direct peer with broader national reach.

• ClarkDietrich Building Systems: National manufacturer of steel framing and accessories used in commercial interiors. Comparable through AROK's metal framing specialization; serves as both a supplier ecosystem participant and a structural competitor in framing-only scopes.

Regional players

• Western Partitions: Pacific Northwest and West Coast drywall and framing subcontractor. Comparable service offering and self-perform craft model; primarily a regional player serving different geographies but with overlapping vertical exposure in healthcare and commercial.
• Sutterfield Construction: Southwest-focused drywall and metal framing subcontractor with operations across Arizona and neighboring states. Directly comparable geography, customer mix (commercial, hospitality, healthcare), and self-perform specialty sub model.
