Your renovation in Reservoir

We renovate Reservoir's post-war homes from top to bottom, including layout changes, bathrooms, flooring, wiring and insulation. It's often far cheaper than rebuilding.

Reservoir is one of Melbourne's largest suburbs, with mostly post-war homes on large blocks and a lot of new home and unit development.

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

Building in Reservoir

Large blocks

Big blocks give plenty of room for rebuilding, extending or developing, subject to zoning.

Post-war stock

Many 1950s–60s homes are reaching the point where rebuilding makes sense.

Development activity

Reservoir is one of the north's busiest areas for new homes and units.

What's Included

One builder, start to finish

We manage your renovation from the first consultation to handover, so you deal with one team, not a string of trades.

  • Design and layout planning
  • Permits where your project needs them
  • Structural changes, wall removals and re-stumping coordination
  • Bathrooms, laundries and living areas
  • Plumbing, electrical, flooring and finishes
  • A fixed-price contract and one point of contact

Renovations typically take between 6 weeks and 6 months, depending on scope. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation, so you know when each room will be back in use.

Questions

Renovations in Reservoir: FAQs

Do I need a permit to renovate in Reservoir?

It depends on the work. Structural changes, re-stumping and some plumbing work usually need a building permit, while cosmetic work often doesn't. If your home is under a heritage overlay, external changes may need a planning permit from Darebin City Council. We tell you exactly what's needed at your consultation.

How long does a renovation take in Reservoir?

Renovations typically take between 6 weeks and 6 months, depending on scope. We give you a detailed schedule at your consultation, so you know when each room will be back in use.

Do you offer fixed-price renovation contracts in Reservoir?

Yes. Every NMB Homes project is built under a fixed-price contract, so you know exactly what you're paying before work starts. If anything needs to change, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
