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 Renmark Paringa

🎵 Ruby Hunter

Ruby Hunter was born on Goat Island near Renmark. Taken from her family as a child, she later met Archie Roach while experiencing homelessness; they became partners in life and music. Roach recorded her song Down City Streets on Charcoal Lane. Her debut album Thoughts Within followed in 1994, and she became the first Aboriginal woman signed to a major record label. Her songs gave national audiences a distinctive voice shaped by survival and relationships.

🎥 Dean Semler

Dean Semler was born at Renmark in 1943 and began camera work with ABC television in Adelaide. Moving into film, he worked on documentaries including A Steam Train Passes before shooting features such as Mad Max 2, The Lighthorsemen and Dead Calm. His cinematography for Dances with Wolves earned an Academy Award in 1991. The career moved between very different visual worlds, from a steam locomotive and Australian landscapes to large international productions. Renmark’s association is the beginning of that life, before the technical and artistic decisions that would place his images on cinema screens around the world.
