Brent and Milly Stewart founded Stewart Construction in 2007, choosing to launch their business at what many would consider the worst possible time—just as a recession loomed. But where others saw challenge, they saw opportunity.

Originally from Cromwell and Otorohanga respectively, Brent and Milly have made Tauranga their home, raising their children Rocco and Tulsi while building one of the Bay of Plenty's most respected construction companies.

Starting with five team members, they carved their path by becoming specialists in renovations and weathertight repairs, helping countless homeowners through what can be a stressful process. With Brent's 23+ years of experience and a sharp eye for creative solutions, Stewart Construction has become known for thinking beyond conventional answers.

Our home, our philosophy

Brent takes you through his family's own beachfront home—a project that embodies everything we believe about smart construction. This build showcases our philosophy: think bigger, work smarter, and always find ways to add value.

Behind every Stewart Construction project are Brent and Milly Stewart—a partnership built on complementary strengths and a shared vision for what construction can achieve.

With 23 years of experience in the building industry, Brent brings a big-picture perspective to every project. He doesn't just see four walls and a roof—he sees opportunities to create value and capital for clients. A straight shooter who loves solving complex property puzzles, Brent works closely with the team and trades to deliver exceptional results. His advice? "The best time to come talk to us is before you've started drawing and designing. That way, we can spot potential solutions before you've invested anything."

Alongside Brent, Milly helps drive the vision and culture of Stewart Construction, ensuring every client receives the support and guidance they deserve throughout their building journey. Together, they've built not just a business, but a team and approach that puts clients first, every time.

"I love to use property to help people achieve their goals in life," says Brent. "It's always worth taking a few steps back to look at the bigger picture before deciding what to do with your home."
