Where a Thornbury home is beyond saving, a new home designed for the streetscape is a strong investment. We manage demolition and planning, and build at a fixed price.
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.
Local Knowledge
Thornbury's weatherboards and bungalows are full of character, and they extend well.
Parts of Thornbury are covered by heritage overlays managed by Darebin Council.
Weatherboard homes need careful work on stumps, framing and cladding.

A custom new home typically takes between 9 and 18 months from permit approval to handover, depending on size and complexity. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation.
