The thrill of working in the custom home industry is a big part of what drives Bluestar Property Group. “Our motto is the THRIL factor,” says Adam Bulic, Director and Development Manager. “Trustworthy, Honesty, Reliability, Integrity and Loyalty. Those are the core values we’ve had for the past 16 years. Those values apply across the board, whether we’re dealing with with suppliers, contractors, clients, or staff.” Adam grew up in the building industry. “My father immigrated to Australia from Croatia. He was in construction and his father was as well,” he says. “My school holidays were on the building site with the broom and the shovel. I don’t regret that time spent for a minute. It provided good grounding and a good work ethic.” During his early years in construction, Adam worked with all the different trades, from bricklayers, plasterers, and painters, to carpenters. “I already had the hands-on experience when I finished high school, so I went on and completed an associated diploma in Applied Science in Building and Construction and immediately applied for a building license.” Circumstances beyond his control at the time forced Adam to take a different direction. The insurance companies that looked after the building warranties in Australia were in a crisis. A builder couldn’t take out what we know now as Home Owners Warranty Insurance. “If you took on a project you had to put up a $50,000 to $100,000 deposit in the event you didn’t finish the project or went bankrupt,” says Adam. “I didn’t have that when I was young so I did other work in the industry, but it wasn’t what I wanted to do. I went to larger building companies and learned systems and processes of the larger firms for a couple years.” Adam ended up with Australia’s largest builder with a plan to stay with them for a year or two THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE AUSTRALIA
