Your renovation in Thornbury

We renovate Thornbury homes properly. That means re-stumping, rewiring and insulating where needed, then new bathrooms and living spaces, keeping the character you bought the home for.

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.

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.
