Sage & Stone Projects delivers residential construction services across Newcastle and the surrounding Hunter region, including home renovations, extensions, major alterations and new builds. Our expertise extends beyond construction, with a strong focus on pre-construction planning, design coordination, project management and resolving complex building challenges before work begins.

Yes. Our preliminary agreement service is designed to help bring projects into alignment before construction begins. If your project has progressed through design but is facing budget pressures, unresolved details or uncertainty around the construction scope, we can review the existing information, identify potential solutions and help establish a more workable path forward. We refer to this process as a Project Reset.

Yes - We take a detailed approach to reviewing plans, specifications and project requirements before finalising the construction scope. Where necessary, we undertake quote revisions to help ensure the client and builder have a shared understanding of the inclusions, exclusions and budget. Our goal is to reduce uncertainty through transparent communication and thorough preparation before construction begins.

Your build will be managed collaboratively by our dedicated, experienced full-time Project Manager and our Builder, Joe, who remain closely involved throughout the project.

Our Project Manager provides the technical oversight and day-to-day coordination, including managing trades, reviewing construction details, monitoring finances and identifying potential issues. Joe brings his hands-on building experience and remains involved in key construction decisions and the overall delivery of your project.

Through our online project management platform, you'll have access to project information, contractual communication, financial monitoring and regular site updates. This is complemented by in-person site walks and direct interaction with our friendly crew, ensuring you feel informed, supported and connected throughout your build.

It depends on the scope and complexity of your project. For larger renovations and extensions, moving out may be the most practical option, particularly when major structural changes affect essential living areas. However, where the project allows, we’re happy to work with clients who would prefer to remain in their home, carefully planning the construction stages to minimise disruption and maintain a safe living environment.

We’ll discuss the practical considerations with you early on, help you understand your options and develop an approach that balances the needs of your household with the requirements of the build.

We build across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounding suburbs, but we’re especially busy in the Charlestown, Whitebridge, Kahibah, Warners Bay, Belmont, Dudley, Redhead and Merewether LGAs.

We’re a family-owned building company in Newcastle, bringing together residential building experience, structural engineering knowledge and experience in complex and challenging civil works. We’re comfortable taking on projects that require careful planning, technical problem-solving and a considered approach to construction.

Alongside this experience, we place a strong focus on a warm, personal client experience. Our directors remain involved from the early planning stages through to construction, working closely with our team, consultants and trades to identify potential issues early and provide practical solutions.

We believe in clear communication, honest advice and treating every client like family. By combining technical capability with genuine care and hands-on involvement, we aim to make the building process feel organised, supported and as stress-free as possible.
