Your extension in Fairfield

Fairfield extensions usually keep a Federation or Edwardian frontage intact and add modern living at the rear, or a carefully designed second storey where controls allow.

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.

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.
