PUBLIC PROFILE

Savo Constructions

Business Leader

Parkes · NSW

asf

I began my carpentry journey at the age of 14, handcrafting a log home in Finland. Since then, I have gained over 20 years of experience in carpentry and various construction roles. I hold a builder’s certification and a Diploma of Building, combining practical craftsmanship with formal qualifications.

As the director of Savo Constructions, I value quality workmanship, honest communication and attention to detail in every project.

Outside work, I enjoy hunting, fishing and spending time outdoors, but my greatest priority is spending time with my two children.
Savo Constructions is a licensed and insured construction company based in Forbes, NSW, servicing Parkes and the wider Central West. We deliver residential and commercial projects, including renovations, extensions, new builds, carpentry, roofing and fit-outs.

For specialist and custom projects, we also work across NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.

Led by Jyri Karisto, who brings over 20 years of construction experience, our team combines skilled craftsmanship with quality materials and a strong focus on safety and compliance with the National Construction Code and Australian Standards.

We value clear communication, transparent pricing and careful planning, giving clients a realistic understanding of costs and inclusions from the outset. Local references are available on request.

Distinguished and Famous people from West Moreton

🏛️ Neville Bonner

Neville Bonner moved to Ipswich in 1960 and became involved with the One People Australia League, developing the community advocacy that preceded his parliamentary career. In 1971 he became the first Aboriginal person to sit in the federal parliament, entering the Senate for Queensland. His earlier working life had included rural labour and employment on Palm Island, with little opportunity for formal schooling. Ipswich was therefore a significant adopted home within a much wider journey. The West Moreton connection lies in residence and organisation, before the national responsibilities that made him a historic parliamentary figure.

🗳️ Vi Jordan

Vi Jordan was born in Ipswich in 1913 and attended Brassall State School and Ipswich Girls’ Grammar. An accomplished musician, she also developed a substantial record of community and political work. She became the first woman elected to Ipswich City Council in 1961 and entered Queensland parliament as member for Ipswich West in 1966. Her campaigns included economic and political equality for women. The local association runs through education, family, voluntary service and representation, making her career a particularly direct connection between West Moreton community life and changes in public opportunities.
