City of Darebin
Builders in Thornbury
We know Thornbury first-hand, having delivered a significant renovation of a period home here. The suburb blends Edwardian and interwar homes on generous blocks, and its position between Northcote and Preston makes it equally strong for quality renovations and for duplex or townhouse projects on the right sites.

Planning context in the City of Darebin
Thornbury falls under the Darebin planning scheme, with a mix of General Residential and Neighbourhood Residential zoning and scattered heritage overlays, particularly toward the Northcote end and around older shopping strips.
Second-storey additions and rear extensions are common here and usually proceed on a building permit unless an overlay applies. For dual occupancies, Darebin looks for designs that keep the front garden setting and canopy trees, which we factor in from the first sketch.
What we build in Thornbury
- Extensions, Renovations & Repairs: Add space or transform the home you already own. From second storeys and rear extensions to full renovations and structural repairs, one team designs and builds it.
- Duplex Builder: Turn one block into two quality homes. We design and build duplexes end to end, from feasibility and town planning through to handover, on a fixed-price contract.
- Knockdown Rebuild: Love your street but not your house? We demolish the old home and build the new one in its place, managing design, permits, demolition and construction under one roof.
