Our Story

Newnham Constructions craftsmanship

Newnham Constructions is built on three generations of craftsmanship, commitment, and pride. Founder and CEO Frank Newnham has spent more than 40 years in the building industry and is a third-generation family builder, continuing a legacy that began in the early 1960s.

His grandfather, Kevin Newnham, constructed homes across Sydney, followed by his father, Reginald, who built residential properties along Australia's east coast throughout the 1970s.

At just 15 years old, Frank began his apprenticeship under his father's guidance, learning the foundations of quality building, precise carpentry, and the importance of doing things properly.

Those early years shaped the builder Frank would become — one known for integrity, skill, and an unwavering focus on delivering exceptional results.

In 1985, Frank moved his family to the Gold Coast and officially established Newnham Constructions. What started as a small family operation has grown into one of the region's most trusted Gold Coast construction companies, known for delivering custom homes, renovations, extensions, insurance building repairs, and commercial construction projects across Queensland.

"Over the decades, Newnham Constructions has completed everything from standard home extensions to exclusive, architect-designed residences of outstanding style and quality. The company has received multiple industry awards, but Frank and the team still consider their greatest achievement to be the satisfaction of clients seeing their vision come to life."

With more than 25 years on the Gold Coast, we've seen many builders come and go — some cutting corners, others failing to deliver what they promise. Our success comes from doing the opposite. We've built our reputation on honesty, reliability, superior workmanship, and genuine family values.

Today, Newnham Constructions continues to deliver the highest standards across new home builds, renovations, commercial properties, and project takeovers when clients need a builder they can trust to finish the job properly.

We value every client, and our commitment remains the same as it was in 1985: quality construction, transparent communication, and a genuine dedication to building homes and spaces that stand the test of time.
