ABOUT BLUESTONE BUILDING GROUP

Our foundation is trust and attention to detail

AN END-TO-END BUILDING OUTFIT

The Bluestone Way

Bluestone Building Group is a specialist construction company based on the New South Wales South Coast. We focus on delivering solutions for clients in the defence, industrial, hospitality, and commercial sectors. These are sectors where strong client relationships and a shared understanding of their goals and challenges are the foundation for success.

Each project is a partnership with the client where they are part of the journey. Success means that our client is better equipped to achieve their goals, and we have developed long-lasting relationships.

We’re about collaboration

Our business is built on trust. We spend a lot of time before work starts to understand the client’s needs and work with them to deliver a solution we can both be proud of.

We’re about attention to detail

We have built a team of highly skilled building and construction specialists and exceptional contractors and tradespeople who are committed to attention to detail and quality finishes. No shortcuts.

We’re about solving problems

We include the client in the journey and always provide a solution to every problem we encounter. We do what we say we will do, providing certainty of delivery and trust that enables each project to run smoothly and without surprises.

THE BLUESTONE STORY

We’re building a legacy

Bluestone Building Group was started in 2019 with a singular vision to provide specialist services to sectors where trust and quality are paramount. From day one, we defined success as client satisfaction by delivering on time, on budget, and to the quality desired.

The company was founded by Michael Emmett, who had an extensive career in commercial construction with leading builders. He saw an opportunity for a different approach, where collaboration and partnership with clients were as important to the project’s success as having skilled people and quality processes. Michael has formed a team of like-minded construction specialists who share the vision for collaboration, attention to detail, and high-quality finishes.

Since our founding, Bluestone Building Group has developed a problem-solving ethos where clients feel they’re part of the journey. We are confident that when we focus on the client’s needs, form trusting partnerships, move quickly and adapt to changing and complex environments, we will deliver exceptional projects.
