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
I did send an email the same time as this review. All my issues were ignored.

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 :)

This is really good.
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!!

We are disappointed to hear your Burbank journey hasn't been seamless, if possible could you please send an email to [email protected] and we will have this matter followed up ASAP. - The Burbank TeamIt seems uncanny that I have actually had a response from Burbank, at exactly the same time that I cancelled my contract with them!!
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.

Edge studio review
We attended the Edge twice before our colour selection day. We felt fully prepared and were excited for our colours day. Juliette was fabulous! Knowledgeable, engaging and made the process so easy. Vanessa was also knowledgeable and helpful with our electrical selections. Our heating and cooling was our only disappointment, we felt Barbara lacked knowledge, she wasnt really able to answer any questions and after our appointment she just didnt reply to a few of our emails requesting further information/confirmation.
Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Burbank with our experience so far.

Everything we Imagined
Just had our PCI inspection today and couldn't be happier. Our new home is perfect. Attention to detail has been excellent. The building process has been a breeze with so much help from Burbank staff, Edge Studio and our Site Supervisor Chris Cassar has been awesome. Our budget was understood and easily met. Fixtures and fittings are first class. It's been a quick smooth process and the finished product is everything we imagined it would be. So glad we chose Burbank, no stress, no fuss just a beautiful home. Thankyou.

Edge Studio - Colour appointment
Burbank recommended we attend the Edge studio for a tour before our colour appointment to familarise ourselves with our options. We went twice and this was extremely helpful for us to work out our style, and budget for our build. Ruby Talaj (design) and Danielle Stokes (electrical) were extremely helpful during our colour appointment. They helped guide us through, explaining things in layman terms for us when we were unsure of something. Their expert knowledge was extremely valuable to us.
Thanks to all involved on the day!

Edge tour
We haven't began building yet but we did a tour of the edge studio recently which was really beneficial that burbank offers this as it's assisting us be prepared for colours and electrical selections. Our tour guide explained everything and no question was to hard to answer for us.
Our sales rep damir in geelong has been fantastic, he has gone above and beyond assisting and accommodating us with every step of our paper work making it such a breeze of a journey so far . we are enjoy this process with burbank and looking forward to seeing our home come to life.

A wonderful experience
Had my colour and electric appointment in Melbourne, the ladies who assisted were so very helpful, no pressure, gave you plenty of time to decide if colours were what you want, the electrical and heating correct. I cannot wait for the house to be built. I would recommend the studio.

Perfect experience and fantastic home.
The experience is perfect. My site supervisor really focus on detail and try his best to make settlement experience smooth for me.

From choosing the design to choosing the color scheme, then to waiting for the first pci, I receive constant update for the progress and the my place system is really an excellent experience.

Great Service from the Edge studio team
Great service from the edge studio team. Suggestions from the team helped me choose exactly what I want and was also helpful to save money on interior things. Curtains are too expensive in the Burbank so prefered to do it outside or myself with bunnings help. Will recommend my friends for the quality and service.
