Industry-Leading Commercial Real Estate Due Diligence Advisory Firm Officially Expands into Australia, Laying the Groundwork to Grow Throughout the Broader Asia-Pacific (APAC) Region.


Minneapolis, MN — [July 21, 2025] — Nova Group, GBC (Nova), one of the largest environmental, engineering, construction, and sustainability due diligence firms in the United States and Europe, is proud to announce the acquisition of Raw Earth Environmental (REE), a leading Australian provider of environmental consulting and engineering services.


The acquisition marks Nova’s first major expansion into the Australian market, establishing a strong presence across New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, and laying the foundation for growth throughout Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.


Jack Cummings, Chief Revenue Officer of Nova Group, GBC, commented:

“This acquisition allows us to better serve our clients wherever they operate. Many of our global clients are active in Australia, and partnering with Raw Earth Environmental provides us with an immediate and trusted platform to support their investments in the region. With Daniel and his team on board, we’re well-positioned to deliver the same level of service and expertise that our clients expect from Nova in the US and Europe — now across Australia and APAC.”

Founded and headquartered in Sydney, with operations across the East Coast, Raw Earth Environmental has earned a trusted position delivering environmental due diligence, contaminated land management, and engineering consulting services to a wide range of clients.


Daniel Taylor, Founder and Managing Director of Raw Earth Environmental, added:


“We’re incredibly excited to officially launch this joint venture. This marks a huge step forward not just for our business, but for our clients across Australia. Partnering with Nova Group brings together two highly aligned teams that share the same values — technical excellence, practical thinking, and a genuine commitment to sustainable outcomes. Our entire team is stoked by the opportunities ahead and the expanded capabilities we can now deliver.”

Ben Bohline, CFO and President of Nova Group, GBC, said:


“Australia is a critical part of our long-term growth strategy, and this acquisition is a natural extension of our global platform. Daniel and his team have built a culture of excellence and innovation that aligns perfectly with Nova’s values. We’re excited to support them as we grow together in this dynamic region.”

This acquisition reinforces Nova’s ongoing strategy to grow its global platform and better serve its multinational client base with seamless environmental, engineering, and sustainability solutions across key markets.


“Daniel and the REE team have built something truly special in Australia,” added Cummings. “We’re proud to have them as part of our journey and look forward to supporting their continued growth and success as we expand together in the region.”

With more than 400 professionals across the United States and Europe, Nova is now adding REE’s highly regarded team of experts to deliver an even broader suite of services, tailored to the unique needs of the Australian and APAC markets.

I think this is a fairly logical strategic move. REE already has a team and customer network in Australia, while Nova brings scale, resources, and international experience. slope game

Wonderful news for both organisations! This acquisition is such a great strategic step for Nova Group entering the Australian market, combining global expertise with Raw Earth’s strong local environmental‑engineering knowledge. It will be fascinating to watch how this combined team serves clients across Australia and the wider Asia‑Pacific area. Best of luck with this new chapter! --multiplication
