Your extension in Fawkner

Fawkner homes are often solid but small by today's standards. A ground-floor extension can add a family room, extra bedrooms or a main suite. The block sizes here usually leave plenty of space to do it without crowding the garden.

Fawkner is largely post-war housing on generous suburban blocks, with a steady mix of original homes, renovated homes and new builds.

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.
