About Us

We love helping our clients create their forever homes.

When you work with us, you’ll get two things:

  1. You Get The Outcomes, Professionalism, And Support Of A “Big Brand” Builder
    Our experience, skills, and network of premium tradespeople gives you quality and long-lasting outcomes of a “big brand” builder.
  2. You Get The Bespoke Care And Attention Of Our Artisan Teams
    We take a bespoke, artisanal approach to every one of our projects, meaning you’ll move into a highly detailed and carefully considered new home. Every home is customised to match you and your family.

We’re passionate about modern Australian residential design, and we pride ourselves on creating beautiful, long-lasting bespoke homes.

We’re situated on the Brisbane Northside and service most suburbs in the area.

Our skills include:

  • New Home Construction
    We’ll build a quality, long-lasting new home that you and your family will love for decades to come (and will make your whole street jealous).
  • Design + Construct Service
    If you need help preparing your plans too, we offer an industry-leading Design + Construct service to help you with every step of the way.   
  • Hamptons Homes
    We have experience crafting grand, sweeping Hamptons-style homes for our clients. See here for our latest example.
  • Sloping Block Homes
    Is your block sloping or uneven? We have experience building new homes on awkward or challenging gradients.
  • Knock-Down Rebuilds
    If your property is too old to renovate, and you have permission to knock it down, our team specialises in removing the existing structure and building your exciting forever home.
  • Property Covenant Construction
    If your home’s exterior is protected by a property covenant (or other restrictions), we have experience in preserving existing facades while building an exciting new home underneath.
  • Residential Interior Design
    When your construction is complete, we can help you plan colours, fittings, fixtures, surfaces and other interior elements to create a warm and inviting family atmosphere. 

Meet The Founders Of B&L James Constructions  

With 18 years of home construction and renovation experience, Managing Director Brenton “BJ” James passionately leads the B&L James team towards his vision. Together with his wife and business partner Laura, an experienced commercial interior designer with years of experience locally and abroad, they passionately design and build a masterpiece home for each and every one of their clients. 

Laura and BJ have three young boys who keep them on their feet, and a team of three amazing carpenters: Jesse, Rory, and Josh… who bring a diverse perspective to the team.

Laura and BJ will challenge you on what you may think you need to get the best solution custom to your family and your personality, and offer solutions you may not have thought about.
