Professional and friendly
My partner and I just finalised everything for our new home and had a awesome experience.
Chantelle and Danielle were always helpful whenever we had questions or was unsure throughout the process. We can wait for the build to start. I would highly recommend them to anyone when building with Burbank.

Just Run and save your self.
I signed contract with burbank mid 2014, paper work took about a year to complete, after so many mistakes we give up chasing it. House handover was on late 2016. Don't have enough time to list mistakes we been finding. Just the most important ones, roof shocking holes from one corner to other. Bedroom stinks because off water going in between walls. Plumbing shocking, one day block pipe next day leaking pipe or no water at all. workmanship quality on almost every jobs poor. December 2022 and still chasing up bad workmanship. Never recommend Burbank to any one, they are nothing more than stress, disappointment and headaches.

DREAM COME TRUE
I recently signed contracts for my new home and had nothing but a great experience!
Molly was always there when I had questions or needed any guidance through the process.
Always responding promptly and never pressuring me to do anything just guiding me through.
I would highly recommend her to any of my family and friends!

On the HOME stretch, its been great so far!
Our experience with Burbank has been well coordinated from the start. We are nearing our lockup stage and the past few months have gone efficiently. We have had some great hands working on our home.
We thought about building in February this year and of course getting to the to stage of dotting the I's and crossing our T's took us awhile with amount of red tape any first home buyer has to go through.
When deciding who to build with, as anyone, we did our due diligence. Read reviews, talked to people and with anything you are bound to see and ...Read more
hear and mixture of both good and bad. By nature, I am a very picky person, so until I am certain with anything, I would not make any commitments. We decided to sign with Burbank after such a great experience during the sales stage, we were never pressured to make any decisions that we were not comfortable with and the team looking after project were very supportive along the way. Off we go into the design & electrical stage, which was one of the best experiences ever (I am sure there are many to disagree with me, given that I have heard many horror stories that made me think this was going to be stressful). We were presented with such great ideas and selections that made the process easy for us. The consultants at The Edge got a real feel for what we wanted and aligned to make our thoughts come alive.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Not worth the money- Look elsewhere
We are not yet in construction and already Burbank are proving to be problematic. They have poor response times ( will not respond to emails/phone calls unless if they are pushing additional costs), they are dismissive of concerns and have no regard for customers or that they are being paid for a service.
My first issue was with inaccurate information put in the estimate and when I raised this with the sales manager was told that in the great scheme of things this is not a big deal.
Our second issues was the dishonesty regarding inclusions a...Read more
nd what we could use the upgrades for. Only found out at the colour appointment that you can use the upgrades voucher for certain things. Once the file was transferred to the home consultant there was poor communication. They dont respond to calls and claim to not be recieving messages however this is not the case when they are following up with a variation. The home consultant is dismissive and I am concerned about the experience we will have with the build. Judging by the reviews here not that great.1 comment

Wonderful Team at the Edge
Great experience with the sales office and the team members at the edge was greatly helpful and understood over requirements well. They showed a lot of patience to first understand our needs and provide us with other options. Very well organized and our appointment went smooth. Very happy so far.

Another great Experience!
This is our 5th home with Burbank and another smooth process. We had a couple of problems but everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Starting with Damir at the display homes. Then to Michael and Lisa who managed our build and any questions or worries we had. They were both very easy to deal with and quick to respond to anything that was required,

Very disappointing. Do not build with them. Lots of issues with workmanship. Defects fixing process was terrible.
- Sales process was smooth and colour selection process was good. They will lure you in with all the "included option" you can get with the build. During construction, I visited the site and contractors could not communicate at all (do not speak english which I didn't mind and thought maybe quality of work would be good. The 2nd time I came around, there was a big massive hole in the wall & it was patched like someone just threw a massive potty in the whole to fix it without actually replacing the wall. Not any of the contractor could explain i...Read more
t. I felt like they were just hired from the street at cheap rates. -After construction, there was so many issues. We wanted to give Burbank "the benefit of the doubt" that this company will fix all the issues. We knew there would be issues as a new house will move, there was cracks on walls from nearly all the spaces, water leak from ceiling when it rains, Doors to garage and outdoor does not close or lock, ceiling was slowly coming down, bathroom tiles started falling off, hot water system failing and so many more. They will send a person to do quick fixes but issues just comes back. There was a 2nd contractor that never came back to finish the defects.2 comments

Biggest mistake of our life.
I signed for the contract when I was pregnant. I feel like I was taken advantage of. The sales process was full of lies and unethical. Would never build or trust this company again. So disappointed. We were promised the world and didnt receive any of it. We were given our contract to sign in 15 minutes and not sent it the night before. If we had to go back to the studio we had to pay so everything was rushed. Unprofessional company. When I complained numerous times they didnt care or want to listen to it.

Thought building a house was hard? You didnt have Dean Galea on your project
Leading up to the commencement of my build I was so worried as I heard the horror stories of the delays and follow ups with no responses. As soon as Dean Galea (site supervisor) was assigned my file he was on the phone to introduce himself. He let me know when things were order, when they were done and encouraged me to go on site to see. Im honestly amazing and surprised at how smooth this has been and have not had to ask once where is this at.

So far so good!!
I am a first home buyer, i did not know where to start and how to start on constructing new home. I saw a advertisement and visited Point Cook office where Ilona Weber was excellent in explaining to detail and making me understand the process. Also Burbank credited back $5K as they felt they charged more for the site costs which is like wow for me as not many of them would do.

Double Storey Gem
Decided to go with Andre25sq double storey which suites the block well.
Once I finally found a design that suited my budget and block the customer service was great.
Molly Trapnell and Frank Graffeo have been great help so far and even included a time frame of pre construction process and when building should commence on site as this time frame is important to me.
I will keep updating this review to confirm quality of build, management of build, costs etc but so far its been a great experience.
Thanks Molly and Frank :)

Had a great experience so far. They make the home design as per your requirements. Varun bhatia guided as all the way through the designing process and guided us to make whatever changes we want to make and as it is our first home we building so we lot of doubts, which are also been clarified.

Absolute shocking!!
I'm still waiting for my build to start, & they still can't give me a start date. They have had my deposit for just under 4 months!! I have signed everything as they requested along the way, but now I find I have had to go to a Solicitor because they have breached the contract & owe me costs & compensation. They also only choose to answer calls or emails when they feel fit. I feel totally cheated & would advise against building with Burbank!!

And so with having cancelled my contract with them, they decided I had spent approx. $8,800.00 of my $14,000.00 approx. deposit (5%), that I had paid them. So Hence I only got back $5,000.00 approx.

You must go with Burbank!
I started off with a builder who went into liquidation and I found it very hard at the start when so many problems came up. I was stuck and its my first property so I was very discouraged till I got help from George and Frank (Clyde offices).
They have been absolutely amazing, On top of everything and makes the client feel comfortable in knowing that everything is taken care of. I am not up to the building stage yet, but very happy with everything up to now! Thank you for all your effort and the time you have put in to make this experience amazing!

Disappointed and not valued
Our experience with Burbank was great only during sales and it was all downhill from there . There was an accident at the site that caused water to seep through walls and had to be ripped off completely before redoing them ! Non contactable site coordinators, had to deal with not one but 3 changed coordinators through the process . We were handed over a badly cleaned home with heaps of construction sand stuck in between windows (Picture attached ), Stained driveway(picture attached )very poorly done stairway finish almost raw unpolished wood a...Read more
nd to be told thats all they can do( picture attached ), heating not working . We should have been happy to move into out home but left with a half hearted feeling of how Burbank sold themselves with false promises initially and was absolutely not the way they treated us till the handover ! I regret building with them and would never recommend them. Ive attached a picture of our windows during handover .4 comments

Great Experience
From our incredible Sales Consultant (Goran Koydovski) to our appointed New Home Coordinator (Mariah Shapcott-James who is incredibly professional, prompt and super kind no matter how many times we contacted her to explain building jargon to us. Our Site Supervisor (Tim Tanti) has been super easy to work with. Tim and Mariah kept us up to date and everything ran smoothly and ahead of schedule which we were so happy about. We just had our PCI and found only minor things that need to be fixed which Tim has already actioned. Thanks to Burbank for an awesome stress free experience and an easy build. We will not hesitate to use Burbank again in the future. Thanks Goran, Mariah & Tim!!!

GREAT EXPERIENCE
We have built several houses in the past and have always had issues either big or small. We had never heard of Burbank prior to us walking into a display home and my wife loved the design at first sight. The experience from that point was unbelievable. The sales rep Chris Awad was great, we had several meetings making slight design changes and picking inclusions, nothing was too much trouble and he gave great advice.
Our experience at Edge Studio was pain free, I was expecting to be left on our own to pick and choose but the ladies there were...Read more

Good Experience
I would like to commend Cindy from the Edge Studio as she is very helpful during our preparation for the Colors Appointment. She has explained stuffs very well and guide us to make our initial decisions. She is very approachable and easy to communicate with. She never left us during the times that I and my wife are uncertain of what is in front of us.
Good Experience by Far
Our site supervisor Dean is really nice and easy to communicate with. He also keeps us updated by means of personal call and email on what is going on with our build. We did a visit last week to the construction site and we are amazed of how great the progress was. We also appreciate how friendly the people working onsite are.
