Your extension in Kensington

Kensington extensions focus on the rear, with modern living, light and a courtyard, or a set-back second storey where heritage rules allow.

Kensington has Victorian terraces and workers' cottages on narrow lots, with heritage overlays across much 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 extension from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.

  • Design and drafting coordination
  • 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.
