BlueStone Construction & Project Management, LLC started in 2005 as a Minnesota design/build general contractor for lake homes and cabins. We had observed how other contractors were performing projects here in Brainerd, MN and thought there had to be a better way. Believing we didn’t have to be the biggest to be the best, we started our company - and we still feel this way.

BlueStone is the “right fit” for “right now”. Power and efficiency is the game in today's economy. BlueStone Construction offers all the power larger firms boast without having to support excess offices, equipment and personnel overhead. We are not top heavy and have planned our corporate strategy from the beginning to provide the most services in the most efficient, “lean and mean” manner. In today’s market, this is a clear advantage for you and all of our clients.

Add to this, the fact that we are unaware of another Minnesota new construction or remodeling contractor who only constructs lake homes. Lake homes and cabins are all we do. That said, we’ve become familiar, comfortable and expert at dealing with the issues associated with designing a lake home, building a lake home or building on the lake.
