What Nextep construction does

Nextep Construction is a Cairo-based commercial interior fit-out contractor founded in 1983 and rebranded in 1997, operating primarily in Egypt with international subsidiaries in Canada, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates. The company delivers comprehensive turnkey fit-out solutions for corporate headquarters, banks, telecom operators, healthcare facilities, embassies, and commercial spaces, executing all trades entirely in-house — including architectural works, concrete and steel, electrical installations, light current systems, HVAC, plumbing, firefighting, and landscape works — without subcontracting. Its client base includes marquee enterprise and financial institution logos such as Central Bank of Egypt, HSBC, ADCB, CIB, Emirates NBD, Vodafone, Orange, Schneider Electric, Novartis, Roche, and Magrabi, with individual project values ranging from approximately EGP 4.9 million to EGP 95.4 million.

The business operates as a platform-plus-subsidiaries structure. Beyond core construction, the Nextep Technology Division supplies and installs light current and smart building systems (fire alarms, CCTV, access control, structured cabling, GRMS, EV chargers), Nextep Services provides facility management, Nextep Canada targets residential/commercial/hospitality fit-out in North America, and Nextep USA distributes premium hotel furniture through a partnership with Gibam. The company also holds exclusive Egyptian distribution rights for Burmatex contract carpet tiles, adding a product distribution revenue stream. Pricing is custom and project-based, with no public pricing, and go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales, a 180+ engineer technical team, and reputation-driven referrals from a 250+ completed-project track record.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company employs 300+ professionals with 15+ years average experience, runs 15+ large-scale projects simultaneously, and has achieved regional sustainability milestones including the first LEED Gold certification in Egypt (Schneider Electric HQ, 70 points under ID+C V4). Ownership remains founder/family-controlled under founder Nabil Rizk Iskander and CEO Eng. Magdi N. Rizk, with no institutional investors, public listing, or external funding rounds disclosed.

• Arab Contractors: One of Egypt's largest general contractors delivering civil, infrastructure, and large commercial/institutional building projects, including turnkey fit-out for government and corporate clients — directly comparable to Nextep's commercial turnkey scope within the same Egyptian market.
