Our story

Built by housing professionals.
Designed for affordable housing.

Nexgen was created by professionals with decades of experience delivering affordable housing developments across housing associations and local authorities. We built the platform we always wanted—bringing project management, cashflow forecasting, governance, compliance and executive reporting together into one connected system.

Why we built nexgen.

After decades working with housing associations and local authorities, we saw the same challenges everywhere. Development teams were relying on multiple disconnected systems, spreadsheets and manual reporting to manage increasingly complex development programmes. Project information was scattered, governance was difficult to evidence and Board reporting often took days to prepare.

We believed there had to be a better way.

Nexgen was created to bring every stage of the development programme together into one connected platform—giving development teams complete visibility, stronger governance and greater confidence in every decision.

Our mission

Our mission is simple. To help housing providers deliver more homes through better information, stronger governance and connected technology.

By replacing disconnected systems with one integrated platform, we give development teams the visibility they need to make faster, more informed decisions from land acquisition through to final handover.

What we value
Built around the sector
Designed specifically for affordable housing development—not adapted from generic project software.
Customer-led innovation
Our roadmap is shaped by feedback from housing associations and local authorities.
Better governance
Helping organisations strengthen compliance, improve oversight and reduce project risk.
Continuous improvement
We continually invest in new functionality, reporting and integrations to support the evolving needs of the sector.
