A Brunswick extension is usually about getting light and space into a long, narrow terrace or cottage. Rear living areas with high ceilings, skylights and courtyards are common. Where heritage controls apply, a sympathetic second storey set back from the street is a popular option.
Brunswick is dominated by Victorian terraces and workers' cottages on narrow lots, many within heritage overlays, alongside newer apartment developments around Sydney Road and the train lines.
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.
Local Knowledge
Many Brunswick blocks are narrow, with shared walls or boundary walls. Access, neighbour protection and boundary construction need careful planning.
Large parts of Brunswick are covered by heritage overlays managed by Merri-bek Council. Changes visible from the street are controlled, so we design with that in mind.
Brunswick is a short drive from our Coburg North base, so we can be on site often throughout your build.
What's Included
We manage your extension from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.
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.
Questions
Almost all extensions need a building permit. Some also need a planning permit from Merri-bek City Council, for example where a heritage overlay applies or depending on your lot and zoning. We check your property's controls before quoting and manage the permits for you.
