Your extension in Altona

Altona extensions often add a second storey for views, or bigger living areas and main suites, built with materials suited to the coast.

Altona is a bayside suburb with post-war homes, newer builds and some older beach-side houses. Parts of it are low-lying near the coast.

NMB Homes is a second-generation family builder based in Coburg North. We've been building in Melbourne's inner north and inner west since 1993, under fixed-price contracts, with Ninos personally involved in every job.

What's Included

One builder, start to finish

We manage your extension from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.

  • Design and drafting coordination
  • Planning and building permits
  • Demolition of the old rear section where needed
  • Structure, roofing and tie-in to your existing home
  • Plumbing, electrical and finishes
  • A fixed-price contract and one point of contact

Extensions typically take between 6 weeks and 6 months on site, depending on size, and whether you're going out or up. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation.
