He was constructing things, all right — for himself.

The well-paid head of construction for Bloomberg LP built a palatial home in New Jersey with some of the $15 million he and accomplices plundered in a bid-rigging and bribery scheme he masterminded, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Anthony Guzzone, 49, pocketed “millions in cash” and a “number of expensive items” in the scam that overcharged ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s financial services company for work on its offices at 120 Park Ave. and 919 Third Ave., Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Christopher Beard said in court.

The freebies included high-end, stainless-steel kitchen appliances, ironwork for security gates, custom barbecues and custom patios.

“He built himself a palace out there in New Jersey — all if it with money stolen from Bloomberg,” Beard said of Guzzone, who has since been fired.
