What we do

One team, the whole carpentry scope.

From the slab up to the final fit-off — accountable crews led by experienced lead carpenters, not a revolving door of subbies.

01

Framing

Stick-built or prefab wall framing, flooring, trusses, box gutters and tie-downs — set out square, plumb and to engineer's specs.

02

Lockup & Cladding

Internal lockup, external cladding and eaves at 450, 600 or 900mm — getting the build weather-tight and ready for trades.

03

Fixing & Fit-off

Skirtings, architraves, doors and hardware — the detail carpentry that decides how the finished job actually reads.

04

Labour Hire

Lead carpenters, qualified carpenters, apprentices and skilled labourers — short or long term, by the hour. See labour hire →

How it works

A program you can actually rely on.

Built around multiple teams, so a schedule change doesn't blow out your build — we allocate crews closer to your real start date.

01

Brief

Send us plans and rough dates. We scope the work and the crew size it needs.

02

Quote

Fixed price on new work, hourly where it makes sense — clear and itemised.

03

Crews on site

An accountable lead carpenter per crew, one supervisor across large sites.

04

Quality control

Every stage checked before handover to the next trade. No re-work surprises.

Word from site

Builders we work with.

Bluestar framed our double-storey in Mickleham start to finish. Set-out was spot on, walls stood and braced ahead of program, and the roof was ready for the tilers on the day they said. Easiest stage of the build.

We've put them on a run of single-storey homes now. Crews turn up on time, the site's left tidy every arvo, and the frames pass inspection first go. Reliable is exactly what you want from a framer.

Tricky double-storey with a cut roof and a few tight spans — they didn't blink. Plumb, square, all the tie-downs to engineer's specs and signed off first inspection. Will be using them on the next one.

Services

Carpentry, end to end.

We cover the full carpentry program for residential and commercial builds — single homes, multi-unit developments, retirement villages, childcare centres, renovations and extensions. Crews are run by experienced lead carpenters and kept small (2–4) so the work stays accountable.

Our scope

What our crews deliver.

01

Framing

Stick-built or prefab walls, beams and Posi-struts, yellow-tongue flooring, roof trusses, box gutters and parapets — set out and braced to plan.

02

Internal Lockup

Getting the build to lockup stage on program so following trades can start without waiting on carpentry.

03

Cladding

External cladding installation across weatherboard, fibre-cement and panel systems, installed weather-tight.

04

Eaves

Eaves lining at 450, 600 or 900mm to suit the design and the engineering.

05

Fixing & Fit-off

Skirtings, architraves, doors, locks and accessories — the finishing carpentry, done clean.

06

Decks & Pergolas

Hardwood and composite decks, pergolas and outdoor structures built to handle the weather and the crowd.

How we price & deliver

Built for the way builds actually run.

Large developments

On sites of 10+ units we put multiple crews (typically 4–5) under one supervisor. You coordinate with us, not a list of separate contractors — and every crew has an accountable leader.

Renovations & extensions

New sections are quoted fixed-price; alterations to the existing home usually run on an hourly rate, since that work is harder to pin down up front.

New homes

Single and multi-storey. Because we run multiple teams, a schedule change isn't a crisis — we allocate crews closer to your true start date.

Pricing: Fixed-price contracts or hourly rates — whichever suits the job. Ask us which makes sense for yours.

Who we are

A network of crews, run like one team.

Bluestar Carpentry is a Melbourne carpentry and labour hire company built around a network of vetted crews. Rather than relying on one team, we keep a roster of experienced lead carpenters running small, accountable crews — which means we can scale up for a 35-unit site or scale down for a single home without dropping the ball.

We handle the contracts, the scheduling and the payments end to end. Builders deal with us, not a dozen separate subbies — and that's the whole idea.

  • Registered with the Victorian Labour Hire Authority
  • Fixed-price or hourly — priced to suit the job
  • Lead carpenters running small, accountable crews
  • Flexible scheduling built around multiple teams
