What Nova Buildings does

Nova Buildings is a Singapore-headquartered pre-engineered building (PEB) solutions provider serving industrial, logistics, commercial, and energy customers across Southeast Asia. Founded in July 2018, the group operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, with manufacturing and engineering centralized at the Bien Hoa facility (Dong Nai, Vietnam) that was acquired from BlueScope Buildings in December 2018. The company designs, fabricates, and erects steel structures using built-up primary frames compliant with ASTM A572 grade steel (minimum 345 MPa yield strength), cold-formed secondary members (Z/C purlins and girts), galvalume or pre-painted roofing systems, and corrosion-resistant coatings engineered for tropical Asian climates, delivering clear spans up to 100+ meters and building heights from 6 to 30 meters with a 10-year design warranty. Nova Buildings applies international codes (AISC, ASCE, BS, Eurocode, SNI), holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, and was awarded the Green Excellence Mark (GEM) Bronze Certification in February 2026. Its portfolio includes 240+ completed buildings spanning 600,000+ m² across factory, warehouse, logistics and distribution, automotive assembly, food processing, cold storage, hangar, oil and gas, power plant, shipbuilding and marine, and office building types.

The company earns revenue through fixed-price project contracts covering the full building solution (primary structure, secondary members, cladding, accessories) plus professional services that include consultation, design engineering, tender review, value engineering, and project execution management. Pricing is project-specific with no standardized tiers; projects are acquired through direct enterprise sales teams in each of the five markets, consultant and contractor referrals, and a website Request for Quotation funnel. Named enterprise customers span WHA Industrial Development, UMW, General Candy, Siam Precision, Dynaplast, and a Ferro Smelting plant in Sarawak, with manufacturing/industrial and logistics/warehousing segments identified as primary verticals. Its go-to-market is a five-country hub-and-spoke model with a Vietnam-based production backbone, regional engineering leadership averaging 20+ years of PEB experience, and active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, and YouTube under the NovaBuildingsAsia brand.
