Your extension in Yarraville

The classic Yarraville project is extending a weatherboard cottage: keeping the front rooms and facade, and adding a light-filled open-plan living area at the back. Second-storey additions set back from the street are also popular where planning permits them.

Yarraville is known for its weatherboard workers' cottages and Victorian homes on narrow blocks, especially around the village, with heritage overlays across several precincts.

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 Yarraville

Weatherboard cottages

Yarraville's classic weatherboards need builders who know timber construction, stumps and how to tie new work into old.

Heritage precincts

Several Yarraville precincts have heritage overlays managed by Maribyrnong Council. Street-facing changes are controlled.

Narrow blocks

Narrow lots mean access, boundaries and neighbours need careful planning from day one.

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.
