Your renovation in Brunswick

Brunswick terraces and cottages often need more than a cosmetic update. Old wiring, failing stumps, rising damp and tired lean-to bathrooms are common. We fix what's underneath first, then renovate the spaces, keeping the period character that makes these homes worth owning.

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 renovation from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.

  • Design and layout planning
  • Permits where your project needs them
  • Structural changes, wall removals and re-stumping coordination
  • Bathrooms, laundries and living areas
  • Plumbing, electrical, flooring and finishes
  • A fixed-price contract and one point of contact

Renovations typically take between 6 weeks and 6 months, depending on scope. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation, so you know when each room will be back in use.

Questions

Renovations in Brunswick: FAQs

Do I need a permit to renovate in Brunswick?

It depends on the work. Structural changes, re-stumping and some plumbing work usually need a building permit, while cosmetic work often doesn't. If your home is under a heritage overlay, external changes may need a planning permit from Merri-bek City Council. We tell you exactly what's needed at your consultation.

Renovations typically take between 6 weeks and 6 months, depending on scope. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation, so you know when each room will be back in use.

Do you offer fixed-price renovation contracts in Brunswick?

Yes. Every NMB Homes project is built under a fixed-price contract, so you know exactly what you're paying before work starts. If anything needs to change, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
