Planning? Easy.
We are about to commence our build with Burbank, they have been nothing but flexible and patient while we had some unexpected hold-ups with our finance. Initially, we needed everything to be pushed through fast for settlement so the team went above and beyond to get us to where we had to be quick smart - this unfortunately fell through causing a 6 month hold up for land settlement though (finance issue). Burbank have been very easy to deal with, their consultants explain everything thoroughly with planning, I'm now friends with my initial consu...Read more
ltant and she has always vouched for them after having worked for another builder who wasn't so forthcoming with additional/hidden costs. They have been transparent with all costs and potential variations thus far, we have not yet commenced building but we should see things moving now that we have settled and all admin is complete.Similar opinion?

Not a great experience and haven't even started building yet
The sales experience was great, everything seemed optimistic and we were very excited to be first home Builders... Unfortunately all down hill from there... we are now on our third home coordinator whose ability to assist us is appalling, never answering my calls, I would leave messages and still no calls back. The only time they contact you is when they need to inform you that you owe them money. And to be honest they will take it from you where they can. I find it very disheartening as an optimistic, excited customer, to be ignored, told that...Read more
they will 'look into it' and then not bother to follow it up, email you a $4500 bill because your land has settled more than 12 months after paying the initial deposit, even though this wasn't initially communicated to us nor was it in writing anywhere prior to paying the deposit. This is obtaining financial gain through deception and it does not make me have great faith. The current Health crisis has caused our land to become further delayed and we were still penalized for this from Burbank... I will not be going as far as saying I don't recommend Burbank as the house hasn't been completed yet, so that is still pending. However, if you are first home builders and don't have money to continuously throw at people I would say go with someone that definitely has your back.. And unfortunately it has been made clear where Burbank's priorities lay and it is definitely not within the customers satisfaction. On a more positive note; the colour selections and items accessible to you to choose from are great and offer to fit a wide range of designing tastes.1 comment

Great experience!
Karly has been very friendly and approachable since our very first meeting. She has been flexible and understanding of our situation and worked out solutions which has met our needs. We've received great advise on how to optimize space and improve our floor plan. Highly recommend working with Karly again :)

Knockdown rebuild Canberra - Outstanding service
From our first meeting with Tim at the Googong display home we've had an outstanding level of service from Burbank. Tim helped us bring to life a home design that gave us exactly what we wanted, he knew the restrictions of our block, listened to what we wanted for our layout as well as the overall look and feel we wanted for our home. He worked on the plans to ensure our design gave us exactly what we wanted and within our budget! Once we had our final draft plans, we were then immediately contacted by our new home coordinator Gemma from the Sy...Read more
dney office to arrange a time for us to head up to the edge studio to complete our colours and electrical appointment. This all happened quickly and when we got to the edge studio Hayley was absolutely incredible! We had given her an overview of the look we were after and her interior design knowledge was invaluable, without her help during the selection process we wouldn't have achieved the outcome we did in 1 day and we cannot wait to see everything come to life during our build. We are almost finished our pre-construction stage and it has been such a smooth process, Gemma has been so responsive to our million and one questions and so proactive at getting through all of the paperwork and approvals. We cannot wait to see our build start and we're sure we will continue to receive the same level of outstanding service throughout the rest of our journey of building our dream home! We couldn’t be happier we decided to build with Burbank, our experience so far has been wonderful!1 comment

First time building, so everything seemed very draughting. However Ruby and Natalie were a huge help! I showed Ruby the look I was going for (a few pictures I had collated) and she knew exactly what to do and which finishes will enhance the overall look. Very pleased with my experience

Happy occupant
My name is Richard and my wife, Molly, and I have been very fortunate to have Jay Osman as the Maintenance Manager at Jackson Green. Jay is a hardworking, dedicated and an expert in his field because he gets the job done properly. Jay has been very transparent in his communication to ensure that we don't have any false expectations or that we are kept waiting. I can see that Jay truly wants to help his clients and will go above and beyond to get the job done properly which is rare to see these days. Thank you so much for all your help Jay, Thank god for you.

Don't build with Burbank
Avoid building with Burbank.
I built with them last year August-December 2022.
My construction journey..
Had [Name Removed] as site supervisor. He was deceptive and made our built experience very stressful. We had our building inspector to inspect various stages of the built and each inspection would have a detailed report of the defects found. We would then forward that report to [Name Removed] to fix. After two days he would come back to us to advise that defects have been fixed. We would then inspect the house again only to find that none ...Read more

Great experience... Sales Office through to Head Office
Having just gone through a very poor experience with another builder where deceptive sales tactics were used; Burbank have been great since the first walk through of the display home.
Patricia listened to what we were looking for in our new home, and great assisted in the development of a new home proposal that not only fit all of our needs, but also our difficultly shaped block.

Well worth the stress
Over time and over budget but well built with all teething problems addressed. Hamish Leckie was brilliant in assisting us through our initial subdivision and in giving us good advice, ideas and tips in our first build. Sean Stacey was a star in going above and beyond in all aspects of the process and even dealing with problems of finicky neighbours as well as being patient with us as demanding customers. He always made us feel reassured and comfortable even when we doubted that progress was being made and he was always hands on and quick to act whenever we had a concern. We were lucky to have him and we will willingly recommend Burbank to any prospective clients

Worst experience in my life
Once you went from the sales consultant (who were good at selling the house to you) & onto signing the contract, that's when the nightmare started. They hit you with all these clauses & costs. It would pay to have your independent solicitor look over the contract & cover yourself. Burbank's contact favours Burbank, not you at all. The build was to say at least, was a disgrace. I'm happy to show photos of the so called workmanship. I had an independent inspector, lucky I did because they tried to cut corners, did not meet Australian standards & ...Read more
when questioned, tried to bluff me by saying that it was except-able. I would hate to think what other people have received in the building from Burbank. Once the plaster goes on, its just cosmetic & not knowing what your structure is like. I'm still baffled how Burbank managed to get the certificate of occupancy, when it did not comply to standards. There was over a 350mm drop out of all the backyard exit doors. During construction, Burbank's personal building inspectors signed off on works that also did not comply to Australian Standards & when questioned, they came up with excuses & saying it was fine. The floor supports were spaced at over 700mm & the standard is 450mm. Materials used were of substandard. The insulation had to be redone as if it did not stay in position & fell out, the installers just left it out. I ask for sound proofing of my bedroom because I work shiftwork. They just put these so called bats on only two internal walls. Nothing on the ceiling or other walls. When questioned, they said that is all that it covers. Asked if I could get it put on the other walls, was bluntly told no! The walls in the house are all out of level, the plastering is a disgrace, the painting (if you call it that) can be done better by my two young kids, cannot get my car in the garage because it is too low, the tiled roof is not laid properly, nails sticking through wall on stair case & the list goes on. When I said I was not happy with the finished product, they said they can continue to look at it, but this meant more delays & more costs to me. I was also threatened that they could drag it out to the contract completion date (June2020), which would have been months. Also if they suppress the completion date, the compensation pay if not worth the paper its written on. If you are choosing a builder, I would highly recommend you look else where if you would like your dream home built properly.1 comment

Wonderful Experience, even better results
We found the team at Burbank really helpful and easy to work with throughout the process. We were able to use the base of a house design we loved and make it our own through plan changes which was really important to us. Our new home consultant Mark was really helpful with getting the plan to where we wanted it. Although we were disappointed with our experience during the selections process, finding there were elements of our home we really wanted to include that were not possible the final product turned out better than expected and is exactl...Read more
y what we were after. The build experience itself was very enjoyable and our build supervisor Stuart excellent we found he was extremely reliable and responsive to all of our questions we felt really supported and included in the process throughout. The end result is our beautiful family home which has been finished to a high standard and we love living here. Would definitely recommend building with Burbank SA.1 comment

Disgusting behaviour
We had water coming up from our floor boards in our kitchen all the way down our hallway with no obvious sign of a leak. When the plumber called to ask more details he flat out said it must be my fault as we installed the dishwasher after settlement. I had to explain multiple times I have no idea the cause I’ve not seen any leaks, all of a sudden I’ve got water coming up through my floors. After 5 minutes back and forth of him blaming me he finally agreed to send someone out to look.
His worker came out and confirmed it was due to faulty conn...Read more
ectors connecting the pipe to the sink drain. They weren’t even screwed on at all. The report came back that this was our fault because we obviously tampered with the plumbing - which isn’t true. After debating this with the warranty team I requested a 2nd opinion, someone unbiased. I was told I’d be getting an independent inspector. The inspector showed up with a Burbank car and Burbank uniform. He was incredibly rude raised his voice at me in my own home. He again accused us of unscrewing the entire plumbing system (not true) and said it’s your word against ours. The final report came from that and said there is no way we could of installed our own dishwasher without disconnecting the entire plumbing system under the sink - Which we did NOT do.1 comment

A great 1st Experience
Burbank has been amazing from the fist time we walked into their display home at Thornton home world. Even after looking at many other builders we were always drawn back Burbank. The experience we have had building our dream home has been incredible, the team took their time listening to our every thought and helped us achieve our dream. Can not wait for the day we move in. Highly recommended.

Perfect Quality Build
Build quality is excellent from internal floor tiles to external brick laying. Great design. The house looks not too big from the outside but inside is massive. The house provides comfortable personal space for every member of the family. As soon as I walk inside the house, I feel very cosy.

So today we got the KEYS!!!!! Excited much? It has been a long process, but a relatively quick build. Rick our site supervisor was very organised and kept things moving. He kept us informed, through the 'My place' App and also through texts. It was a semi-rural build, so we were responsible for certain parts and Rick and Burbank were as accommodating as they could be. Thank you for that! Team work makes the dream work!
So I need to give Thanks and Huge shout outs to the fantastic people who were part of our team! Glenn who was at the Thornto...Read more

Outstanding Service
I must commend the outstanding service I have received from Hayley Hart & Teresa Seeney from Greenbank- I feel totally confident with the design of the home we have chosen, these ladies went out of their way to meet us at a display home to explain to us what to expect with our choices! Previously I had looked at other display homes & talked to other consultants but none like these 2 ladies, they both understood what I asked and what I was looking for, I feel they are both very thorough and I will highly recommend anyone I know who intends on building to seek consultation through Hayley & Teresa at Burbank Homes! Thank you ladies for making me feel very confident with my choice I appreciate it!

From the first phone call till today all i can say is amazing service. Hayley Hart, Tara and Nicky all have been amazing. But if it was not for that first call to Hayley, and talking to her we would have gone elsewhere and missed out this beautiful experience as its our first home.

Fantastic! Better than we could have hoped for.
We wanted a full custom build, so our planning process was possibly more complex -- despite this, we were very satisfied with all the team members at Burbank who assisted us, from the sales person to the selections coordinator, and especially our excellent site supervisor. We've just moved into our lovely new home and couldn't be happier with how it's turned out. Due to the great communication via fortnightly site meetings during our build, we were able to keep fully apprised of the progress and any small hiccups along the way did not turn into big problems. Thank you to all the team at Burbank!

Can’t seem to find legit reviews they seem fake. I want to build with Burbank in Kalkallo has anyone had a good experience or bad experience with them. Let me know thanks.

They are pretty good but after handover I have seen not much support when you need it.like I have few issues after handover but seems no body cares.there inspectors won’t approve your minor issues by giving some points which we don’t even know about.
They will just make some reason by saying you’re contract doesn’t say this or that..
Very hard to deal,me personally I was thinking to build my investment property with burbank after building my first home with them,but the way they are going after handover I now feel that I should be looking for another builder.

Hi
Re: Job 13923 in Point Cook.
Our house took 18 months to compete with 4 site supervisors and issue after issue after issue.
There are pending defects that need to be rectified as per PCI during handover and the site supervisor is not showing much interest. I asked the leftover hard rubbish to be removed which was simply dumped on the opposite vacant block so I had to have it removed at my own expense because the don’t want neighbours to think that we are illegally dumping rubbish.
Could you please assist us in rectifying pending defects so it does not affect our review to be left soon on this website? Thanks

Hi Jay,
We are sorry to hear about your Burbank experience.
Can you please send us an email to [email protected] along with your job number and the list of defects in your home, this will then be passed onto the Warranty Team for them to look into for you.
-The Burbank Team.
Thanks for the prompt reply. The defects are not part of the maintenance but they are items the PCI and during handover they are also noted on the PCI sheet and the site supervisor was suppose to fix them. Warranty team will knock it back and will advise me to follow up with the site supervisor. This is our second house with Burbank and I am aware of the processes. Could you please follow up with the constructions manager? We are really frustrated coz we are just stuffed around by Burbank and there is no one who is helping us. We waited 18 months for the house and we are still chasing Burbank to fix the defects, it is disappointing.
Burbank H.Burbank
Hi Jay,
Because you have settled into your home, your first point of contact now will be the Warranty Team and not the site supervisor. Please feel free to call the head office and we will direct your call to them directly and they will look into your PCI items for you.
If you don't want to call again please send an email to [email protected] along with the defects list and we will pass it onto them for you.
