Your new home in Thornbury

Where a Thornbury home is beyond saving, a new home designed for the streetscape is a strong investment. We manage demolition and planning, and build at a fixed price.

Thornbury is known for Edwardian weatherboards, Californian bungalows and interwar homes, with heritage overlays across parts of the suburb.

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.
