About Us
Who we are
We are a family owned and operated, Canberra-based construction company. Our local experience allows us to conceive and develop projects that are both unique in character and sympathetic to the ACT and its surrounds.
Dino Nikias, one of our founding directors, has been a proud contributor to the ACT property development and construction industry since the 1960s. That commitment continues through Nikias Diamond today.
At the forefront of innovative construction techniques
Nikias Diamond is at the forefront of innovative design and construction techniques. In-line with our commitment to the future we have integrated sustainable measures into all new building projects, including obtaining a minimum Greenstar and Nabers rating of 4.5. These programs address health and wellbeing; access to alternative modes of transport; reduced ecological impact; improved indoor environment quality; reduced consumption of water and energy; lower harmful emissions; and conservation of valuable resources.
