Renovations · Carlton North 3054
We renovate Carlton North terraces with care, fixing structure and services first, then updating bathrooms and living areas while restoring period details.
Carlton North is a heritage suburb of Victorian terraces and cottages on narrow lots, with heritage overlays across most streets.
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
Most of Carlton North is under heritage overlays. Street-facing changes are tightly controlled.
Depending on your street, planning is handled by Yarra Council or the City of Melbourne. We check which applies.
Party walls, narrow access and period structures need experienced builders.
What's Included
We manage your renovation from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.
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
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 Yarra City Council or the City of Melbourne (depending on your street). We tell you exactly what's needed at your consultation.
