Home / About Us
At Stonesmith Heritage & Building Services, we believe that the built environment is a legacy worth protecting. Managed by Warren Smith, our firm has established itself as a reliable and professional business within the conservation and construction industry. We operate with a singular mission: to deliver superior remediation and building outcomes through a seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary construction best practices.
Based in Tasmania, an island renowned for its rich built heritage, we have expanded our operations to service regional, remote and interstate clients who demand a level of expertise that is increasingly rare in the modern construction landscape.
We are not just builders; we are custodians of architectural history. Our philosophy is grounded in the understanding that every building, whether a federally listed heritage landmark or a modern government school, requires a bespoke approach.
We employ the Burra Charter principles as our guiding framework for heritage assets, ensuring “as much as necessary, as little as possible.” This conservation-first mindset allows us to retain the cultural significance of a site while ensuring its structural longevity. For modern assets, we apply this same ethos to identify the root causes of material failure, ensuring our remediation works are durable and compliant.
Whether you require a specialist heritage consultation or a comprehensive remediation plan, our team is ready to assist.
Stonesmith has built a culture of professionalism and reliability. Our thorough and diligent approach ensures that every project, regardless of scale, is undertaken with a detailed understanding of both the client’s needs and the building’s particulars.

Stonesmith Heritage & Building Services is committed to quality, reliability, and client relations.

Warren Smith of Stonesmith did an incredible job with the task that the College presented to him. His ability to understand what the College needed and then to ensure that the end result matched this was first rate. Warren was professional in his interactions with staff, worked to a tight timeline and made sure the space was left in order. The College had an expectation of how the end product needed to look and feel, Warren worked hard to achieve this. It was incredible to see the designs come to life.
