OUR JOURNEY

Nextep’s journey began in 2008, not as a standalone company, but as a procurement department within DLB Construction. At the time, the objective was clear: centralise and professionalise the sourcing of materials to ensure better quality control, cost efficiency, and consistency across construction projects. This early phase laid the foundation for Nextep’s strong expertise in procurement, supplier management, and project coordination.

As the procurement activity grew and proved its value, the business took its first independent step. In 2012, the company was officially registered under the name Route Twenty Six. This marked a transition from an internal department to a structured entity, capable of serving a wider range of projects while maintaining close ties with the construction sector.

In 2013, a defining milestone was reached with the creation of the Nextep brand. This rebranding reflected a broader ambition: to go beyond procurement and become a forward‑thinking partner that supports clients at every step of their project. The name Nextep symbolised progress, innovation, and the idea of always taking projects to the next level.

In 2015, Nextep entered into a close collaboration with Argenta, a renowned international brand known for its premium tiles and surfaces. This partnership strengthened Nextep’s positioning in the market, reinforcing its commitment to quality materials, refined design, and reliable supply chains for residential and development projects.

A major step toward customer experience came in 2018 with the opening of Nextep’s first showroom in Eau Coulée, Curepipe. For the first time, clients could physically explore products, finishes, and design options in a dedicated space. The showroom became a key meeting point where ideas turned into tangible solutions.

Building on years of procurement and project expertise, Nextep Contracting was launched in 2022. This new entity allowed Nextep to offer in‑house contracting services, including specialised works such as rendering and placo. It marked a decisive move toward a fully integrated model, combining supply, coordination, and execution.

In 2024, Nextep moved to its current showroom at Nouvelle Usine, Floréal. This larger, more modern space was designed to support growth, showcase a wider range of solutions, and create new opportunities for collaboration with clients, designers, and partners. The new location reflects Nextep’s maturity as a brand and its ambition for the future.

In 2025, Nextep expanded its vision with the creation of Nextep Eco Solution. This new division focuses on sustainable technologies, including solar energy solutions and wastewater treatment systems. With this step, Nextep reaffirmed its commitment to responsible building practices and to shaping smarter, more sustainable environments for tomorrow.
