A Story Worth Telling.

Our Story Our Team

The pages of the NevHouse story are being added every day. Even though the path we have traveled has taken many turns, the team have their eyes fixed firmly on delivering the vision of the company – one home at a time. The unwavering conviction, risk aversion and immense work ethic of the NevHouse family which includes its shareholders will see the book written with the ending that was always intended

At NevHouse, capitalism & philanthropy work hand-in-hand with the company allocating a percentage of its profit for philanthropic use.

Philanthrocapitalism can be summed up as “Doing Well by Doing Good” – that is, making profits whilst helping to make the world a better place. It is closely related to the concept of corporate social responsibility. Another way to understand philanthrocapitalism is to look at the two root words: philanthropy means acts of humanity that help other people or the environment, while capitalism denotes adding value and turning a profit.

NevHouse encourages everyone to do well by doing good. If you are interested in investing and joining us as a shareholder please do not hesitate to contact us. Join us on the journey to re-purpose by re-design.
