Your extension in Thornbury

Thornbury's classic project is a weatherboard or bungalow with a rear extension: open-plan kitchen and living opening to the garden, with the original front rooms kept.

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.

Building in Thornbury

Edwardian & bungalow homes

Heritage areas

Parts of Thornbury are covered by heritage overlays managed by Darebin Council.

Weatherboard homes need careful work on stumps, framing and cladding.

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.
