Your extension in Footscray

Footscray cottages are often tiny by modern standards. A rear extension with open-plan living, or a second storey added where planning allows, can double the usable space while keeping the original front rooms and street appeal.

Footscray has Victorian and Edwardian workers' cottages, weatherboards and brick homes close to the centre, with post-war homes further out and plenty of new development around the station.

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

Building in Footscray

Workers' cottages

Many Footscray homes are small Victorian and Edwardian cottages. They're full of character, but often short on space and in need of structural work.

Heritage overlays

Some Footscray streets are covered by heritage overlays managed by Maribyrnong Council. We check your address before quoting.

Inner west experience

We've completed projects across the inner west, including Footscray, Yarraville and Sunshine.

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.
