Your extension in Brunswick East

Brunswick East extensions are about bringing light and space into long, narrow cottages. Rear living areas, skylights, courtyards, and set-back second storeys where heritage controls allow.

Brunswick East is mostly Victorian and Edwardian cottages and terraces on narrow lots, with plenty of new apartment buildings along the main roads.

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

  • Planning and building permits
  • Demolition of the old rear section where needed
  • Structure, roofing and tie-in to your existing home
  • Plumbing, electrical and finishes
  • A fixed-price contract and one point of contact

Extensions typically take between 6 weeks and 6 months on site, depending on size, and whether you're going out or up. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation.
