Northcote · Darebin
Ground floor · Second storey · Fixed price
Registered builder since 1993
Extensions · Northcote 3070
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
Victorian and Edwardian homes need builders who understand period construction.
Many Northcote streets are under heritage overlays managed by Darebin Council. We check before quoting.
Some Northcote streets are on slopes, which affects design, footings and drainage.
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 Darebin 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.
