Your new home in Brunswick

New homes in Brunswick are usually infill builds: replacing a home that's beyond saving on a narrow lot, often next to period terraces. These builds need a design that works on a tight site, careful boundary construction, and planning that respects any heritage overlay. We've built on tight inner-city sites for over 30 years.

Brunswick is dominated by Victorian terraces and workers' cottages on narrow lots, many within heritage overlays, alongside newer apartment developments around Sydney Road and the train lines.

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 Brunswick

Narrow lots

Many Brunswick blocks are narrow, with shared walls or boundary walls. Access, neighbour protection and boundary construction need careful planning.

Heritage overlays

Large parts of Brunswick are covered by heritage overlays managed by Merri-bek Council. Changes visible from the street are controlled, so we design with that in mind.

Close to our office

Brunswick is a short drive from our Coburg North base, so we can be on site often throughout your build.

What's Included

One builder, start to finish

We manage your new home from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.

  • Design and drafting coordination
  • Planning, demolition and building permits
  • Site works, slab and frame through to lock-up
  • Fixing, finishes and landscaping coordination
  • A fixed-price contract before work starts
  • Handover with your statutory builder's warranty

A custom new home typically takes between 9 and 18 months from permit approval to handover, depending on size and complexity. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation.
