Nextep Home Solution

What Nextep Home Solution does

Nextep Home Solution, legally registered as Route Twenty Six Co Ltd, is a privately held Mauritian building materials and fit-out company operating through three integrated divisions: Nextep Home Solution (procurement and installation of interior and exterior finishes), Nextep Contracting (in-house rendering, partitioning, and false ceiling services launched in 2022), and Nextep Eco Solution (solar energy and wastewater treatment systems launched in 2025). Founded in 2008 as a procurement department within DLB Construction, the business was registered as an independent entity in 2012 and rebranded under the Nextep name in 2018. The company serves residential developers, contractors, and individual homeowners across Mauritius from a single showroom in Floréal, having completed more than 1,000 projects since inception across regions including Tamarin, Pointe d'Esny, Poste La Fayette, Black River, Curepipe, and Floréal.

The product portfolio combines distribution rights for premium international brands — LUBE Group/Creo Italian kitchens, Knauf construction systems, Porcelanosa, Argenta, IMEX, EMPOLO, Faer Ambienti, and Spanish tile manufacturers Cifre, Gayafores, Ibero, and Realonda — with proprietary own-brand offerings including Nextep SPC flooring, Nextep built-in cupboards, and custom Nextep doors and glass balustrades manufactured for the Mauritian climate. Service offerings span bespoke kitchen and wardrobe design, project-based procurement coordination through the Deco Pack bundled service, and in-house contracting using Knauf MP 75 plaster for internal rendering and JK Cement for exterior coatings. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, not publicly disclosed, with distribution occurring primarily through the Floréal showroom and direct project procurement for residential developments.

Nextep's go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with direct-to-consumer engagement centered on its physical showroom. Primary customer segments are residential developers (named projects include Beach & Mountain, Beach Haven, Eastern Blue, Esplanade, and Le Dalblair) undertaking projects ranging from small-scale to large beachfront developments, and individual homeowners seeking complete home finishing solutions. The company operates with roughly 30 named team members across management, design, technical sales, quantity surveying, finance, logistics, and site operations, and continues to extend its product surface — most recently through the 2025 launch of Nextep Eco Solution focused on sustainable building technologies.
