History & Directors

Blue Eco Homes arose out of Joe Mercieca’s vision to build homes that were environmentally sustainable. With a 26-year career in the Australian building industry, Joe established his own construction business (Joe Mercieca Constructions P/L) in 2003 operating in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. This has now evolved into the establishment in 2010 of a specialist environmentally-focused building arm – Blue Eco Homes. The name “Blue Eco” refers to our company’s base in the Blue Mountains of NSW, our commitment to innovative ‘blue sky’ thinking, and of course the fact that we build eco-friendly homes. Wherever possible, Blue Eco Homes uses local tradespeople to encourage good work practices and to support the local community. Joe Mercieca Constructions/Blue Eco Homes is a Member of Blue Mountains Biznet (i.e. the local Chamber of Commerce).
