Our company was established by Ian George in 1988, and now employs more than 40 people. Building a lasting family business means we’ve dedicated ourselves to putting in the extra effort required for its success. Upon Ian's retirement in 2014, Ben George and Adrian Herrmann assumed joint management of George Rydell Constructions. By 2019, they had successfully acquired full ownership, marking a new era of leadership and growth for the business.

Our Values

Everything we do is guided by our values:

– Working hand-in-hand with our clients
– Being visible and accountable at all times
– Remaining flexible in our decision-making
– Being supportive of each other
– Building long-term relationships based on trust.

When we gained responsibility for the management and direction of George Rydell Constructions in 2014, Ian George remained involved as our mentor, supporting the continuation of our company’s heritage and longevity as a local business.
We believe totally in the principle of people do business with people.
We look forward to working with you.
