Your extension in Northcote

The typical Northcote extension keeps the period frontage and adds modern, light-filled living at the back. A set-back second storey is an option where heritage controls allow.

Northcote has Victorian, Edwardian and interwar homes on established streets, many within heritage overlays, and a busy High Street.

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 Northcote

Period homes

Victorian and Edwardian homes need builders who understand period construction.

Heritage overlays

Many Northcote streets are under heritage overlays managed by Darebin Council. We check before quoting.

Sloping sites

Some Northcote streets are on slopes, which affects design, footings and drainage.

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.
