Ripple Developments was formed in 2021 by Jordan and Jeremy: two like-minded and experienced construction professionals with aligned values and goals. Both started their construction journeys at a very young age doing manual labour and mentoring under seasoned construction professionals in the industry while pursuing their engineering degrees. Their passion for construction continued to grow through exposure to diverse and complex projects which further challenged them and accelerated their development into leadership positions. Jordan and Jeremy both get fulfillment from establishing a concept and seeing it through to completion.

Development Planning & Strategy
Preparation of unique development plans showing the sequence and timing of detailed bodies of work and milestone completion dates is key to project success. Our strategies are always accompanied by a comprehensive Risk Registry that is communicated with all stakeholders of the project.
Risk Management:
Comprehensive identification, tracking, reporting, updating, managing and mitigating of projects risks associated with the Project.
Logistics Planning:
Having worked on many large scale projects, with sensitive site locations and intricate scopes, we have a keen ability to create sophisticated phased logistics plans. Key aspects of these plans include a focus on public safety, site constraints, flagging and traffic control, staging areas and material handling.
Feasibility Studies and Budgeting:
With the numerous factors around cost certainty, a partner that views the project holistically from concept to completion is imperative. At the onset, we establish a high standard for budget management, cost control and optimization. Ensuring that the dialogue and communication around the proforma is understood and accurately depicts the project goals.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control Management:
Our quality goal is to consider the contract documents a minimum standard and to foster a culture around quality that results in everyone, including trade partners attaining standards above those normal to the industry. We firmly believe quality control standards cannot be injected into a project; they must be pre-planned and then executed.
