NXT Building Group History.
The NXT Building Group was developed to support numerous brands. Grown from early beginnings in 1987 as a family owned, new home building business based in the Hunter region of NSW, today we support many of Australia’s most well-known and respected new project home, multi-residential and investment property building companies. Originally founded under McDonald Jones Homes, today NXT Building Group does not build homes, we focus on supporting brands through a range of professional services and strategic guidance, so that they can set the benchmark in residential construction. The NXT Building Group is resourced by a team of dedicated employees. Through the commitment of our people and our strategic planning we are well positioned to assist brands to respond to the challenges from the market and provide innovative solutions and valued business support. “We have the best job in the world, helping Australian families achieve their dream.” - Andrew Helmers
