About Us

Our Story

Frank Newnham, Founder and CEO of Newnham Constructions, has been in the building industry for 40 years and is a third-generation family builder, so you might say building is in his blood. In the early 1960s Frank’s grandfather, Kevin Newnham, built properties in Sydney. Carrying on the tradition, Frank’s father, Reginald, became a builder too, building properties all along the east coast of Australia in the 1970s. Then, at the tender age of 15, Reginald put Frank to work as his apprentice carpenter and the rest, as they say, is history.

In 1985 Frank and his family moved to the Gold Coast where he officially started Newnham Constructions. Since then, Newnham Constructions have provided great versatility in construction throughout Queensland, building everything from standard extensions to one-off exclusive homes of stunning style, quality and finish.

Newnham Constructions have won multiple industry awards but consider the satisfaction of our clients receiving their desired project outcome to be our greatest achievement.

Over the past 25 years we’ve seen a lot of builders come and go – some chasing a buck with shoddy workmanship, others not delivering on their promises. At Newnham Constructions we pride ourselves on continually building upon our solid reputation as a reliable business that delivers quality on every project.
We value our clients and our commitment to you is honesty and integrity, passion and quality. Whether building a new home, renovating an existing one, building a commercial property or engaging a builder to finish a project, Newnham Constructions offers professional services you can rely on at every stage of your project.
