 AI reviews summary 

Pros
Supportive sales and consulting team: Many reviewers highlight individual sales consultants for being knowledgeable, patient, and transparent during the initial planning and design stages.
Smooth selection appointments: The Edge Studio colour and electrical appointments are frequently praised as well-organised, with staff offering practical advice and helpful design guidance.
Dedicated site management: Several clients commend their site supervisors for maintaining clear communication, managing trades efficiently, and addressing minor issues promptly.
Competitive pricing and inclusions: A subset of reviews notes that the builder offers good value, flexible customisation options, and reasonable pricing compared to other volume builders.
Cons
Administration delays: A subset of reviews indicates that the pre-construction and drafting administration processes can be slow, leading to extended wait times for contracts and updated plans.
Communication gaps during staff leave: Some users report challenges with communication continuity when primary coordinators or site supervisors are on leave, resulting in missed updates.
Post-handover and warranty challenges: A number of reviewers note difficulties in securing timely responses and resolutions for warranty claims or post-completion building defects.
Verdict

Overall sentiment towards Burbank is divided between highly positive pre-construction experiences and occasional frustrations during administration and post-handover stages. Many clients praise the professionalism of individual sales consultants and the smooth coordination experienced during colour and electrical selections at the design studio. Conversely, a subset of customers highlights challenges with slow administrative turnaround times and difficulties in resolving warranty or maintenance issues after moving in. Prospective clients may benefit from establishing clear communication channels and thoroughly documenting all variations and expectations throughout the build.

My Fiance Frank and I are currently in the process of building our home. The process with Burbank has been incredibly smooth from as soon as we spoke to David Doak located at the Greenbank display homes all the way through to commencement of our build. The communication has been extremely professional with regular updates on what’s next into the… Read more

process and not having to follow up on any part of the process. Two people of note have to be firstly David Doak, who was straight to the point, answered all our questions without beating around the bush especially with the financial side of things, he is easily the main reason we went with Burbank and we cannot sing his praises enough. The second person who we can’t rate highly enough is Karla Egan who managed all the back end, booking our appointments and making sure we were updated with all of the contract signing. Karla always made sure we knew exactly where our build was at, she always responded in such a kind, professional and timely manner. Both David and Karla made have made our experience seamless and it’s taken a huge amount of stress out of building a house. Frank and I feel incredibly lucky to have both David and Karla assist us with our build, so thank you very much.

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our Home Consultant-Akshay and our Site Manager-Brett for helping us achieve our dream home. Akshay has been incredibly patient and supportive throughout our journey. He took the time to understand our needs, budget, and lifestyle and helped us find the right suburb and home design for us.… Read more

Even after the build, he continued to go above and beyond by helping us connect with contractors when we needed them. His support didn’t just stop once we signed the contract, and we truly appreciate that.

Brett has also been amazing throughout the construction process. As we were living interstate, having someone who kept us updated with photos and videos at every stage of the build made such a huge difference. It allowed us to feel involved and reassured, even from afar, and gave us the opportunity to watch our dream home slowly come to life.

Building a home can be a stressful and overwhelming journey, but having Akshay and Brett guiding and supporting us along the way made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable.

Thank you both for your patience, dedication, communication, and for going above and beyond to help us achieve our dream home. We are truly grateful! ❤️✨

Burbank has been an absolute pleasure to purchase and build our first home through.

Buying your first home is scary enough, let alone building your first home, but Burbank has taken so much of the stress away for… Read more

us. Everything has felt really streamlined and we have always felt supported going through each stage. We never felt like we were just another customer, which has made such a huge difference to our experience.

Christine, our home sales consultant - honestly, an absolute angel! She was amazing when it came to picking our new home and working out what would suit our land. She explained absolutely everything to us in so much detail and never once made us feel stupid if we didn't understand something (even when we probably asked the same question 10 times). She made the whole process feel so easy and really helped us think ahead about what would suit us now and in the future. We honestly couldn't have asked for someone better to help us through that stage.

Marissa, our colours consultant - she was so refreshing to work with and made us feel really confident in the decisions we were making. We loved her styling and suggestions, especially when we came in with all our fun ideas. She brought such a fun, creative and comforting side to making all those decisions that can feel so big and scary. She really helped bring everything together and made the whole experience so enjoyable.

Leilani, our electrical consultant - she was also amazing. She had so much experience and gave us so many practical suggestions and ideas that we honestly never would have thought about ourselves. It was so helpful having someone who could think about the little things and what would actually make sense for us in the home.

We are honestly just so happy that we decided to go through Burbank to build our first home. From start to finish, we have felt so supported and looked after. Their customer service has been amazing, and having people who are so experienced and genuinely willing to help makes such a difference when you're making so many big decisions for the first time.

We would 100% recommend Burbank to anyone looking at building, especially if it's your first home. Thank you so much for making what we thought would be such a stressful experience actually feel exciting, easy and enjoyable. We are so happy with our decision and can't wait to see our first home come to life! ❤️

When it came time to pass us on to the construction team, Lisa went further than the extra mile and organised for handover to happen a day earlier than first planned so it would be ON my birthday as a birthday present from her and the Burbank team.

of my requirements at a higher spec and lower price than all of the previous offers. Starting with the “Butler” as the basic design, Romeo and I were able to massage this layout into exactly what I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble for Romeo in working up the final plans and his attention to detail and understanding of what I was trying to achieve made the whole process very easy and satisfying. Checking out the quality of Burbank’s finished product by looking at the display homes was also a great experience, both in terms of the quality of the builds and the display home staff. So far I can't fault my journey with Burbank. Looking forward to the next stages of the journey. The next part of the process was my selections, which completed with Cherie at Burbank's totally comprehensive selections facility. I've done this many times before, with other builders and it was very arduous. They made you run all over town to up to 6 different locations to chose all the different components. This required making numerous appointments, travelling to far flung destinations and dealing with a lot of different people. A nightmare. At Burbank its all finished in a couple hours, on one day, with one appointment, in a single place and dealing with only one person. This is a great relief and saves a lot of time and energy. In addition there is that "one person" - Cherie. She is the icing on the cake. She is so knowledgeable in every aspect of this part of the process, and makes what is normally a tedious and tiring process exciting and ultimately satisfying. Knowledgeable - by knowing the complete range of what is available in every category - then being able to understand the house plans in intimate detail to help me get my head around what is the best choice for each item. Then, she is also very helpful and competent at assisting with colour schemes, to produce a completely satisfying result. All in all the Burbank selection process gets 10/10 from me. A normally tiring, unsatisfying, tedious, arduous chore is made easy, quick and satisfying by their attention to producing a process that ends with a great customer experience.

Having now commenced our second build with Burbank Homes, we felt compelled to share just how exceptional Lea Hanna has been throughout our journey. When we began our first build, Lea set an incredibly high standard with her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine dedication to ensuring everything ran as smoothly as possible. As we moved… Read more

into the pre-construction phase of our second home, we naturally expected the same outstanding service. What we didn't expect was for Lea to somehow exceed those already high expectations.

What has impressed us most is Lea's genuine commitment to helping her clients. She continually invests extra time and effort to ensure we feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the process

Her communication is exceptional, her attention to detail is second to none, and her proactive approach means we always feel informed, supported, and valued. Building a home can be a complex process, but Lea has an incredible ability to make it feel seamless and manageable.

The fact that we have returned to Burbank Homes for a second build speaks volumes, and Lea's dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction are a significant part of that decision. She is an absolute credit to Burbank Homes and has played a major role in making both of our building journeys such positive experiences.

We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done and continue to highly recommend Lea to anyone considering building with Burbank Homes. She is truly outstanding.

The staff we have dealt with at Burbank have been lovely, responsive when contacted, and pleasant to deal with. Unfortunately, our experience with the actual construction process has left us questioning whether the project management, scheduling and trade coordination processes are adequate. Construction commenced in June 2026, and we are now… Read more

approximately 4.5 months into the build with the home still only at frame stage.

For context, our timeline so far has been:

• Slab completed – 26/06 • Frames delayed by approximately 2 weeks and delivered – 10/07 • Approximately 4 weeks then passed with no trades or work occurring on site • Frame installation commenced – 05/08 • Incorrectly manufactured steel beam identified – 12/08 • Replacement/correction completed – 25/08 • Ground floor frames advised as completed – 11/09 • Upstairs flooring subsequently unable to be fully completed due to missing wet-area floorboards • First-floor frames advised as completed – 25/09

It is now 16/10/26 and there has been very little further progress. More concerning for us is that we do not have a clear understanding of the current delay, what is holding up the next stage, or a reliable programme for when work is expected to recommence.

We completely understand that construction does not always go to plan and that some delays have been outside Burbank’s control. Our concern is less about any one individual delay and more about the cumulative downtime, coordination between stages and the lack of visibility around the plan to get the build moving again.

We chose Burbank knowing that building a home is a long process, and we don’t expect trades to be on site every day. However, we did expect to see reasonable continuity of works and proactive communication when significant periods of inactivity occurred.

Based solely on our construction experience to date, unfortunately I could not currently recommend Burbank. I genuinely hope our experience improves over the remainder of the build, and I will update this review as construction progresses.

Later, when I made a few further changes to other aspects of the plan, Leilani was always patient and accommodating. Thank you, Leilani, for your excellent guidance and support! Marissa assisted me with the colour selections. She was warm, enthusiastic, and professional, always doing her best to consider the customer's needs. For each item, such as carpets and kitchen taps, she explained the features of the different options, helping me compare them and make choices that suited my preferences and needs. When it came to choosing the wall colour, I found it particularly difficult to make a decision. Marissa patiently brought out a variety of colour samples and held them against the white walls so that I could compare the shades properly. Her thoughtful approach made the whole process so much easier. Overall, Marissa was incredibly considerate and made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the appointment, allowing me to work through all the selections at my own pace. Thank you, Marissa, for making my colour selection experience such an enjoyable and memorable one!

I’m posting this review to share my experience after the handover of my new home.

get back to me and that the issues would be resolved, but nothing has happened. It has now been 10 months and most issues are still not fixed, including my 3‑month maintenance jobs, which are still pending with no support, no bookings, and no timelines provided. Every time I contact a different staff member, I’m passed on to someone else, with no one taking responsibility. I’ve spent a lot of time chasing updates and it’s been a waste of time. Based on this experience, I would seriously consider other builders for any future property, as my post‑construction experience with Burbank has been the worst part of the build process.

I chose not to proceed with Burbank after a very frustrating quotation experience. My main concern was the lack of transparency in the pricing. Several significant upgrades, including kitchen and powder room modifications, were bundled together, making it impossible to understand the cost of individual items. Despite repeatedly asking for a… Read more

detailed breakdown over multiple meetings and emails, I was told this couldn't be provided due to "software limitations". As a customer making a major financial decision, I don't believe that's an acceptable explanation.

The quotation process also took much longer than expected, with repeated delays, which further reduced my confidence. In the end, I moved to another builder who provided much clearer documentation, itemised pricing, and was able to explain every variation in detail. The difference in transparency and customer experience was significant.

We built the Wilshire 221 at Narangba (Job 249336) and handed over in 2026. The finished home is solid and we're happy with the build quality. Getting there was harder than it should have been from a builder of this size. Pre-contract: Every time our plans were updated by our sales consultant, other items changed without us asking. This meant… Read more

repeated back-and-forth before we could finalise the contract. Contract signing: The engineering drawings didn't match what our consultant had submitted items had been added that we never requested. Removing them was quoted at an extra $1,000, despite the error not being ours. We spent 90 minutes working through the discrepancies on the day. The app: Progress tracking was a selling point. In reality only the slab and frame were ever uploaded. The app then crashed repeatedly and was discontinued before our build finished. Customer care: Our coordinator was frequently on leave with no handover contact provided. Calls went unanswered and emails often weren't replied to. This was the weakest part of the experience. Credit where it's due three people made this build work:

Marissa (Interior Design) was outstanding. She worked through our internal and external selections properly and made sure nothing was missed. She picked up that our plan had an undersized vanity in the ensuite, which we then had corrected. That was her catch, not ours.

Haley (Electrical Consultant) was helpful, clear and easy to work with. The electrical planning was one of the smoothest parts of the whole process.

Adam (Site Supervisor) was excellent weekly Friday email updates, easy to contact, and straight with us. He's the reason the build itself went smoothly.

The gap: The one pattern that ran through the whole build was no cover when staff were away. When our customer care coordinator was on leave, no alternative contact was provided. The same happened at Practical Completion our site supervisor was away on family leave and no one else picked up the communication, so we went into the PCI stage without updates. For a builder of this size, there should be a documented handover process when a key contact is unavailable. Good product, good people. The process and systems need real work.
