We highly recommend Akshay to anyone looking for a thoughtful designer who truly cares about understanding and fulfilling the client’s needs.

I highly appreciate Samantha and Simon’s contribution to this amazing house. Samantha was always there to support and work around to give us the best build as we pictured on paper to reality. Simon always was understanding and helped us a lot with knowing the updates of the build.

picture of what building with Burbank could be. Similarly, our construction phase was excellent thanks to our supervisor, Tom. He was incredibly efficient, proactive, and ensured the build was completed ahead of schedule. Even when minor issues arose, his communication and follow-up were top-tier. Areas for Improvement: Admin & Gallery Unfortunately, the middle of the process was frustrating. The Admin phase lacked proactive communication; we felt we had to push constantly for updates. We actually know people who chose other builders specifically because of delays in Burbank’s admin department. The Gallery/Design appointment was also a disappointment. We received very little creative input, and several promised items were missed in the final documents, which became impossible to change once construction began. Additionally, the selection felt dated; we actually saw more variety when we built our first home six years ago. Summary We are very grateful for the professionalism and effort shown by Akshay and Tom. If the Admin and Gallery teams can match the standard set by Sales and Construction, the experience would be world-class.

We recently built our double storey home in Tarneit with Burbank and couldn’t be happier with the experience.

least $50k more competitive. We finalised our finishes and inclusions at The Edge Studio in January, and construction started in March.

Our site manager, Thomas Hajko, was highly experienced and kept us well informed at every stage of the build. His communication and attention to detail made the entire process smooth.

We completed our final inspection two weeks ago and were truly impressed with the build quality and workmanship. Now that we’ve moved in, we’re enjoying every aspect of our new home.

Highly recommended—Burbank offers great value, quality, and inclusions for double-storey homes.

period. Always there to support and help in any manner.

Site supervisor: Ilche Tarashovski, Who maintained excellent communication throughout the build and was always available to answer any questions. The build time was impressively fast – our home (43sqa) was completed in under eight months His expertise and guidance made the process incredibly smooth and stress-free for us. Ilche, was always proactive with regular updates, responsive to our queries, and very flexible whenever we wanted to visit the site to see the progress. Even the few minor requests we had were addressed promptly and without any issues. The outcome is amazing,

Customer Coordinator: Simon Vuu is always helpful accepted changes we were looking for and keeps me updated for everything i needs to be.

Areas to Improve: Admin work was really slow. Whenever there is change request, admin takes very long to update the designs or to sign the documents. Even for a small change. We had a situation one of our selected tiles were discontinued and we were forced to choose alternate tiles (Outcome was really satisfactory) with the help of Ilche and Simon re-selected and installed. But, admin team contacted me to choose the alternate option after couple of weeks of installation :) I hope Burbank will definitely improve to speed the admin work.

Over all we feel very confident building with Burbank and appreciate their commitment to excellence. Highly recommended!

Our experience with Burbank during the initial stage and construction were all good with no issues. Post handover, the story changed. On the handover day, the site supervisor didn't attend instead another person attended and the heating system was not working though it was called out in the previous inspection. We agreed to handover, as they… Read more

sounded very promising everything will be taken care of. We then had few appointments with the heating company to get things sorted. We then faced issue with manhole which Burbank have installed in the garage roof. During windy days, the manhole cover gets pulled off causing very loud sounds at night, waking up. We reported this issue within a month's time after handover but they asked to wait until 90 day period. Apparently, the issue is due, the location of manhole in a un-insulated area and the outside wind enters the garage and pulls off the light weight cover. Now Burbank says, everything is built as per standard and Burbank is not responsible for this issue as the manhole is placed as per signed documents. As as common man, we entrust the structural design with the builders, obviously we are not best placed to tell where all these have to be located unless I am a builder myself. They simply washed off their hands saying just place some weight on top the lid. The tenant is also complaining about house insulation and that its takes very long time to heat up the rooms (Its single storey 4BHK), which the heating company had already reported that, they see gaps in the roof. Now all these are as per standard for Burbank. As their consulting, design and construction stages were all smooth, we simply trusted them , expecting the same experience after handover. But, it's very disappointing, that after multiple follow ups that they finally kind enough to suggest an option that to install some weights on top of the man hole cover. So if you are building with Burbank, this is what you can expect post handover. Sharing the experience here, so that whoever building with them can take care of these things and not to trust the builder completely.

Burbank took about 18 months (6 months overdue from the contract due date) to build my home, which was completed in August 2018. I had a "site supervisor from hell" who used poor quality tradies, some of whom I suspect were either unqualified at… Read more

their trade, were apprentices, or were simply very cheap tradies. The quality of workmanship overall was terrible, with over 20 defects identified by my highly qualified independent expert. Some examples of the defects are: (a) Render had cracks and was inconsistent in colour - because some of the rendering was performed months apart, (b) Toilet wasn't centred and was positioned too close to the wall, (c) Ceiling exhaust fans were a different brand to that specified in the contract, (d) Acoustic soundproofing in the ceiling was missing, (e) The brickwork was water-stained because no temporary downpipes were used during construction, (f) There were no power points above the kitchen benchtop in the upstairs kitchenette, (g) Some of the capping and flashing fixing was non-compliant, (h) Several control joints as per the plans were missing or rendered over, (i) The damp-proof course was non-compliant, as it did not extend beyond the face of the brickwork, (j) The rainwater tank pump was installed above the tank instead of on the ground! Burbank disputed and refused to fix these, and some of the required works were simply not completed, which is why I eventually took Burbank to VCAT. After about 2 years of playing the VCAT game with Burbank and their external lawyers, VCAT ordered Burbank to pay me $60,000+. Needless to say, I would never build with Burbank Homes again. They were totally unreasonable to deal with.

 Follow-up  · I fixed most of the defects using my own tradies. However, some of the defects were simply too expensive to fix properly (i.e. to avoid visible patch-up jobs), and were much more expensive to fix than the amounts awarded to me by VCAT, so I just put up with them, although I remain disappointed. The VCAT process was lengthy and drawn out. Burbank's… Read more

They have fixed the cracks but they continue to crack as they refused to fix the real issue which is the slab cracked due to them breaking the pipe. They only band aid fix issues and blame everything but themselves for the problems that arise from their poor builds. We had insurance come to check the house and they said the issues are from the poor build from Burbank. We have reached out again to have them correct the issue but again they brushed it off. I would not use this builder if you want your house to last.

We have had an extremely disappointing and concerning experience with Burbank regarding a major installation defect in our home. After purchasing the property, we discovered a toilet leak. The home was only around six years old and still under warranty, so we contacted Burbank to investigate. Their Home Care Inspector advised that the leak was… Read more

caused by a “blockage,” which was clearly incorrect. We were later told the issue had been “fixed,” even though the problem we reported had not been addressed.

The leak continued. When Burbank returned for a second inspection, it became obvious the issue was far more serious. At that point, we were suddenly told the home was no longer under warranty and that the problem was supposedly due to “wear and tear.” We were also told Burbank would only reassess the matter if we paid for an independent plumber’s report.

We did exactly that — and the independent investigation confirmed a serious installation defect. A cable tie and incorrect installation were identified as the cause of the leak, and the plumber advised it had likely been leaking since day one. Had the toilet been installed correctly, this issue would not exist.

Despite this clear expert evidence, Burbank refused to take responsibility. During their visit, they cut open the wall and found mould throughout the cavity, yet once the extent of the defect became obvious, they attempted to disengage entirely. They initially treated it as a warranty matter, but when it became clear the repair would be substantial, they tried to walk away.

This experience shows a lack of accountability, inadequate investigation, and disregard for health and safety. When you build a home, you expect proper workmanship and a builder who honours their warranty obligations. Burbank has failed on both fronts.

We cannot recommend Burbank to anyone seeking quality construction or reliable after‑sales support. We are now escalating this matter further and expect we may not be the only ones who have faced this level of neglect.

Choose your builder wisely.

Terrible service provided after handover. The warranty they advertise feels meaningless, and the after-handover support team appears more focused on avoiding responsibility than honouring warranty commitments. We experienced a gas leak, which should be covered under the plumbing warranty. A building inspector attended the site but refused to… Read more

properly assess the issue. Instead, we were told that because the house was handed over a year ago, the leak could be due to “anything,” and therefore not their responsibility. After receiving no response from Burbank for two weeks, we engaged an external plumber to fix the issue. The plumber confirmed that the leak was caused by poor workmanship, and further internal leakage had also developed. Once Burbank learned that we had involved an external plumber, they informed us that this action voided our warranty, and they would not be investigating the matter any further. Second issue: The brickwork on the house has started to crack and break, which appears to be a structural problem. It has been two months since we reported this, and we still have not received a response from Burbank. Overall, the workmanship has been poor, and the builder consistently avoids addressing issues. They delay responses for as long as possible and look for ways to dismiss problems instead of fixing them. We paid a premium price believing that Burbank, as a large builder, would deliver quality work and stand behind their warranty. Unfortunately, this has not been the case.

If I could give Burbank zero stars, or even negative stars, I would. Building with them has been a traumatic experience that has caused nothing but "nightmares and heart attacks." For the sake of your mental health and financial security, take your business elsewhere. If you hear the following names assigned to your project: RUN. The Sales Trap:… Read more

The only "bright spot" was the salesperson, [Name Removed], who was helpful during the initial sale. But do not be fooled, this is where the professionalism ends. Once they have your money, the service collapses into total chaos.

The Pre-Slab Disaster: The negligence began early. My assigned contact [Name Removed] (Supervisor) didn't even bother to meet or greet me. He provided the wrong date for the critical pre-slab inspection. I paid for an independent inspector and took time off work to be at the site, only to find the slab had already been poured. Money and a crucial inspection opportunity went straight down the drain due to their sheer incompetence.

[Name Removed] (Supervisor): A Pathological Liar: In my opinion, he is a pathological liar and an extremely careless professional. It felt like his only goal was to rush shoddy work through so he could collect his cut from the company.

The Broken Promises: He promised a chemical wash to remove leftover cement from the walls. Five months later, the mess is still there.

The Handover Scam: He promised to return the day after handover to clean. He never showed up.

Solar Failure: He failed to demonstrate how the hot water electric solar panel works. Five months post-handover, it remains non-operational. I am being forced to pay exorbitant electricity bills because of their refusal to fix this, despite numerous reach-outs. Burbank is now asking me to reach out to the supplier to fix this issue, when they are the ones that needs to fix it.

Dangerous & Cheap Materials: The quality of materials is appalling. They installed the cheapest, most dangerous kitchen sink I have ever seen. It has sharp edges that have literally cut fingers and caused injuries while working in the kitchen. When I raised this "death trap" and numerous other defects during the post-handover inspection, the supervisor, [Name Removed], displayed a completely non-chalant, "don't care" attitude. They refuse to replace it, lazily putting the onus on the manufacturer while ignoring the fact that they installed a safety hazard in my home.

The Verdict: Burbank is overpriced and delivers a defective product compared to any other builder in the market. They are completely indifferent to the safety and satisfaction of their clients once the keys are handed over.

My advice? If you value your peace of mind, do not let these people near your life savings. See the attached photos for the "quality" you can expect. Stay far, far away from this company and the names mentioned above.

I will update here soon about the DBDRV complaint I am going to make and hoping to drag them to Consumer protection authority for compensation and fixing the pending works.
