Renovations · Fairfield 3078
Renovating a Fairfield period home means restoring features like leadlights, ceilings and timber floors while bringing kitchens, bathrooms and services up to modern standards.
Fairfield is a leafy suburb of Edwardian, Federation and interwar homes on established streets near the Yarra River and Darebin Creek.
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
Substantial period homes call for quality craftsmanship and period detailing.
Parts of Fairfield are under heritage overlays managed by Darebin Council.
Mature trees may need protection or permits during construction, and we plan for it.
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 Darebin City Council. We tell you exactly what's needed at your consultation.
