WHO WE ARE
SAM
Director
Sam Barnett has been in the building industry for over 25 years starting out as a carpenter in New Zealand before earning his low-rise building licence in Queensland in 2011, and finally acquiring his mid-rise licence in 2015. He was literally born into a world of building; his father, uncles, grandfather and three brothers are all in the game. It’s not unusual for family get-togethers to revolve around sharing current and upcoming projects with plans on the table, everyone zealously sharing their thoughts and ideas.
Under his licence, but a different company, he has built over 1200 homes, ranging in size and scope from Granny Flats and auxiliary dwellings, to traditional 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom homes and impressive waterfront homes up to 1200m2. He has a deep understanding of all facets of building and relevant building codes and legislation.
Building is not just a job for Sam, it’s a creative passion that is all-encompassing from conceptualisation of a project to being ‘hands-on’ in the creation and delivery phases. When you meet him you instantly know that he is a ‘people person’, so making his client's dreams come true is extremely rewarding for him. Finishing a job and handing over the key to a client with a handshake and/or hug from the owner is how he does business.
Most mornings you'll find Sam hitting the waves along the east coast before heading to site—it's his way of starting the day with a clear head and positive energy. When he's not building or surfing, Sam loves spending quality time with his three girls, his wife Krystle, and their brown Labrador Duggy, it's a real family affair and he wouldn't have it any other way.
KRYSTLE
CEO
Krystle Barnett has been Sam's right-hand-woman since the business first started in 2010, helping with business management, and later working alongside clients in the sale process to ensure the dream is delivered as expected. Her primary focus personally and in her career is relationship building eventually establishing these into strong, authentic networks. She is also a qualified real estate agent who has put her learned skills to good use over the last few years.
Krystle is passionate about real estate, renovations, and creating homes with inviting, ambient living spaces perfect for entertaining - she understands the aesthetic and functional needs for a kitchen and open living area to make the perfect entertainment space for your friends and family. Sam and Krystle have built three homes together, each time gaining more knowledge and precision on the process and outcome.
You can relax knowing that you have a solid team there to guide you through the process and will be there to answer all your questions – and know that there is never a ‘stupid’ question when building a house.
Krystle's naturally social personality means she can strike up a conversation with just about anyone, which makes building genuine relationships with clients feel effortless. When she's not helping families create their dream homes, you'll find her spending time with her three girls, catching up with friends over lunch, hiking local trails, or unwinding at the beach with a good book in hand.
TUSCANY

As the Sales Consultant at BCC Homes, Tuscany is the external heartbeat of the business, supporting both the team and clients with warmth, clarity and genuine care.

From initial enquiries through to contract signing, she guides clients through both the sales process and early stages of their build with clarity, kindness and care. She believes that building a home — even a small one — is a deeply personal journey that deserves respect, transparency and thoughtful attention at every step.

Whether she's helping a family explore their options or coordinating the finer details behind the scenes, building meaningful relationships is at the heart of her work. Seeing families step into their finished homes after months of planning and collaboration is one of the most rewarding parts of her role.
