Your renovation in Footscray

Footscray period homes often need work underneath before the fun stuff: re-stumping, rewiring, new plumbing and damp fixes. We take care of all of it, then renovate the bathrooms, laundry and living areas so the house works for modern life.

Footscray has Victorian and Edwardian workers' cottages, weatherboards and brick homes close to the centre, with post-war homes further out and plenty of new development around the station.

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 Footscray

Workers' cottages

Many Footscray homes are small Victorian and Edwardian cottages. They're full of character, but often short on space and in need of structural work.

Heritage overlays

Some Footscray streets are covered by heritage overlays managed by Maribyrnong Council. We check your address before quoting.

Inner west experience

We've completed projects across the inner west, including Footscray, Yarraville and Sunshine.

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.
