Burbank were fantastic from start to finish
We recently used Burbank to build our new home in Geelong. From the start, the sales people were very useful, helping us make modifications to their standard designs in order to suit our block, which lots of other builders did not want to entertain. The team at Edge were also great, helping us pick colours and products that all look great in the finished product.
Our build commenced in Sept 2022 with settlement complete by 5 May 2020 (exactly the schedule they advised as when we signed the contract). We had next to no issues throughout and wer...Read more

I have changed my mind and planed to live in Australia for a long time because of my comfortable new house.
I like the big bright glass windows, I can the beautiful scenery .every bathroom has bright windows, it can ensure fresh air come inside and there is no sense of depression, I like the detailed and intimate design. Because I am not good at speaking English, the team give me lots of patience in communication.

Great Experience!!!
Had the pleasure of working with Molly and Sean Green to design our first home.
The plan we chose was well thought of by Burbank,our consultants were prompt to get us the best package deal.Working with them took the stress of the process of choosing to build.
The pre-construction has been a breeze,can't wait for the build to start.

Terrible workmanship.. big Headache that I choose Burbank
Just a 25 square house Burbank took nearly 18 months to complete after signing the contract..with lots of lots of defects..One of the major defects they laid down bad bricks ..first their supervisor pretend to hide the defects..they rendered the House but not a quality finish.. Another Disaster happened, Roof was leaking just after one week we moved in. They replaced the tiles but one of the room ceiling has holes and craks they haven't come yet to fix despite of contacting them numerous times.. It's already three months....my ensuit toilet se...Read more
ats came off just after one week ..and they said they will come after 12 months to fix it..I couldn't use my ensuit toilet for three months how ridiculous...i had to hire some other people to fix it..First floor makes squeaky noise every time I walk..very annoying. There was major defects in porch so they pulled down and rebuilt again before handover but still doesn't look good..i just compermised..Big headache .My friends and relatives definitely never choose Burbank.1 comment

Burbank is a joke!!!
Absolute scum of the building industry. Highly unprofessional and absolutely zero concern for their clientele. Going through the paperwork stage was laughable with the constant errors, and the empty apologies that I’m sure are doled out everyday. And this is apparently Australia’s 4th largest builder. Once the contracts are signed the red flags pop up all over the place, sadly when it’s too late. The only thing this company has going for it is it’s edge studio, which funnily enough most positive reviews are from those who have just done their...Read more
color selections. Don’t worry I felt the same!!!! And then comes the construction. This mob unashamedly builds homes to their own in house sub-par standards. They are cheap, nasty, and will do nothing to satisfy their customers!!!! They will happily damage your home during construction then cover it up by the cheapest available means. Below is a photo of my hardwood door that I selected to add something to my home. They damaged the jamb then filled it with putty and then in order to hide it painted some of my jamb black and left the rest brown. Mind you the edge studio charges several hundred for this service. A child could do a better job than what I got and this is up to their standards coming from management. Rather than change a low cost item they did everything to avoid changing it. Not to mention the poor paint job inside, amongst other things. They are absolute scum! A truly untrustworthy company, with absolutely no heart. I would never build another home with burbank even if it were half price. I have handover in a couple of days and the only thing I am excited about is the fact I can get this poor building company out of my life.1 comment

Building an exceptional experience
From the moment we walked into the sales office, Nadire was quite helpful and provided plentiful information, with no pressure at all to make a sale and made us feel comfortable. One thing led to another and we had Mariah, then Danielle as our New Home Co-ordinators. Both have provided exceptional and reliable customer service in which Dani continues to thrive on today. Information is provided as clearly as possible and updates are provided regularly. Minor changes to the plans were required and our requests were met pretty much hassle free. So...Read more
far the build is progressing smoothly after also meeting our Site Supervisor Michael who also provides timely updates and answers the phone just about every time. Basically the responsiveness of the team at Burbank is second to none with same day service. Thanks so far and shall look forward to maintaining this effortless process throughout the rest of the build.1 comment

Excellent experience from start to finish
Damir from the Mount Duneed sales office, Lisa from the Altona headquarters and Ashleigh, our site foreman made our entire build process so seamless and easy, from start to finish.
Yes we had to make minor adjustments here and there but it took an email to rectify and then on again with the build.
All three staff members were very clear in what was required/involved, easy to communicate with and super quick in their responses to our queries that we have really enjoyed the entire build process.
We have moved into our new home and found a few minor issues where tradesman were back out to resolve within a week of notifying our foreman/or Burbank directly.

Worst builder to deal with
I got my house handed over to me in March 2022. They've taken 1 year to complete my house single story during construction no coordination with me and they changed 3 supervisor. My kitchen benchtop is 50 mm higher than in plan. Main entry door was crooked they taken six month (changed door three time) to fix it still not 100%. Ensuite wall not straight and a lot of other problems. I contacted everybody from salesman to owner nobody helped me out. Every corner of my house is example of butcher trade work by Burbank. If anybody want to see my h...Read more

Horrible experience - life's worst decision to select Burbank
Signed up with Burbank in Nov 2016 and still waiting for handover. Cunstruction started in Apr 2017 and after 22 months still issues with build. No coordination between the teams at all. Tried to escalate the issues many time but always gets the folse commitments from Burbank. Now Finally i have escalated the issues to dbdrv. Because of these delays i have to spend around $30000 interest to the bank unnessary. Hope one day i will get my house.

Worst Experience - Will not recommend Burbank to anyone
We are building our first home with Burbank. After the Sales, our worst experience with Burbank started. From the point of being allocated an unprofessional, irresponsive and inexperienced Building Coordinator, [name removed], to the Colour Consultant, [name removed], at the Edge Studio who had no knowledge of interior finishes and was very pushy, hasty and rushed us to finalize the colour appointment. There was no response to any of our initial queries and there were so many drafting errors on our drawings and miscommunications between Admin, ...Read more
drafting team and the site. Our building supervisor [name removed], is very negligent, irresponsible, incompetent and unprofessional. He has not managed and supervised our build in a professional manner. Whenever we raise our concerns and non compliance issues he gives a blunt reply that everything is compliant and within standard and no action from Burbank will be taken. Our concerns and issues are not addressed and after multiple requests to get in touch with the Project Manager or Construction Manager on the job, no one has contacted us. We were told by [name removed] and [name removed] that he is the one running the project so there is no need for the Project Manager to be on site for a walk through . After seeing the quality of poor workmanship, non compliances on our build, unprofessional attitude and zero customer service we would never recommend Burbank to anyone and advise people to stay away from Burbank. We have all email trails and photos to support our review/feedback. After reading, this hopefully someone from the Management will contact us and take action. Zeeshan and Muzna1 comment

We build our first home with Burbank. We never ever had our house inspection. They mentioned to us when they gave us key last year in November that we will receive a call for out 3 month inspection. We didn't receive any call. We waited too few days and when we contacted them they said we will get call after 6 month. We didn't get any call after 6 month as well and when we contacted them after several attempt they mentioned that it was our fault we had to contact them to get inspection done. After lot of back and forth they informed us that the...Read more
y will do our inspection after 1 year. 22 May 2022 its one year we tried to contact them many time they never get back to us. Now it’s more than 1 year but we still have some issue but no one contacted or came to do inspection. Such ridiculous customer service. We had issue before as well. After putting complain to building dispute they were agreed to provide us what they agreed to provide before we started construction. Do Not construct your house with Burbank, I am pregnant I have to get this stress to follow up with them, if you don't want stress and wants to stay happy while your constructing your house and wants to stay happy in your new house then don't go with Burbank because you will always be stressful with them from the beginning to end and after forever1 comment

The initial sales pitch for and the experience with Edge were are all fine. Our concerns and issues started after the construction work started.

Wonderful service
I am very pleased with the end result of my house and importantly with the people I worked with in Burbank .
It was my first build but Tim Mcgrath, Samantha Gorlin and Danielle Riosa made the whole process easy. Sam walked me through the steps and kept me aligned with details. Tim kept me abreast with the progress and articulated every milestone of the build. Danielle was very professional and guided me up to handover.
Honest, professional and just really great people

It was a pleasant experience dealing with the sales person Ilona and then Emmaleigh. They were very helpful and accommodated all my house requirements for a new home.
The build was completed quickly and the building supervisor Caelin was always in touch. Provided us with the updates and was always available for any site visit.

Shocking response after final Settlement
We have built our first home with Burbank, my job number is 15009.The construction of my house was running late. It took more than a year time to finish construction our final settlement has done on 19th of August 2022. After then when we actually moved in the house, we realised there are so many maintenance issues in the house, we have contacted Burbank team but nothing happened. There are still so many maintenance issues which is still unsolved. I have emails and massages as a proof. We have been experiencing that after we have done final set...Read more
tlement they don't care about our job. I have send email of 12 points of maintenance issues but not a single issues has been solved. I would like to discuss some maintenance issues with you guys. The front pillar brick cleaning work has not completed at the time of final settlement and they promised me that it will be done within two days. Unfortunately it hasn't been done yet. We have been asked by neighbours, friends and guests about red big marks on front pillar of the entrance. So many people asked us a question about why did you choose this builder?? Who don't care about front entrance look? I have attached a footage. The shocking thing happened a week ago. When I was cooking noodles, the fire occurred on the top of kitchen exhaust fan. I stopped cooking immediately and stopped fire with wet clothes. When I turn on the exhaust fan, I felt burning smell, so I turned it off again. When I called and emailed Burbank they organised an inspection through Tredlink who installed gas and exhaust appliances. After inspection they said it's not our fault, its the responsibility of Burbank. It has been one week and hasn't fixed yet. It looks really scary at the time of cooking. I have attached a footage of incident. I am still doing request to Burbank Team to take my job seriously and fix all big and small issues of maintenance work as it hasn't been even three months time to move in property.1 comment
