HITS DOMINATING THE CHARTS WITH TEN GREAT REASONS TO BUILD
Burbank’s smash hits With so much star competition around, choosing a winning builder can be difficult. But with Burbank dominating the home building charts with our Top 10 reasons to build, choosing your number one builder couldn’t be easier. Our popular favourites cover everything from easy finance to endless home designs – not to mention being the most awarded builder at the Master Builder Awards in 2012. Once you check out Burbank’s current Top 10 chart toppers, you’ll find it easy to see we’re not singing from the same songbook as other builders.
So why would you build with anyone else?

all the way until site start*
Pay only $3,000 up until site start* We know that sometimes it can take a little longer than expected to get your finances in order. That’s why we’ve dropped our deposit charge from 5% of your purchase price to only $3,000*. On top of that, we don’t ask for another cent from you until we’ve started works on your site. That means, not only do you need to pay less upfront, you also get a bit of extra time to work with your bank on releasing your funds.
Music to your ears!

The price we quote is the price you’ll pay^ Every block of land needs to be prepared in order to be built upon. Having to remove rocks from your site, excavate it to make it level or remove excessive tree roots can result in you having to pay site costs. Depending on which builder you choose, these site costs can vary wildly. Not with Burbank. We assess your site, quote on your site costs and charge you that amount – not a dollar more.
What a smash hit!

Plan ahead knowing exactly when works will begin on your land★ Building a home is a very exciting time in your life. We know, from experience, once you’ve paid your deposit you just can’t wait for your build to begin. Burbank can tell you exactly when we will start works on your site – and we’ll stick to it. Not only does this guaranteed site start mean you can count down the days to when the action will begin on your block of land, it also means you can start tying up your current living arrangements in readiness to move.
With Burbank, you don’t have to play it by ear!

5 Borrow 100% of your purchase price through NPF Securing finance for your new home doesn’t have to be daunting. In fact, with our finance arm National Pacific Finance, it’s easy. Through NPF, you may be able to secure finance for 100% of your home price. All you need to show is 5% of this purchase price in your bank account which has been saved over a period of three months•. But, because you don’t have to use these savings towards your new home, once your finance is approved you can spend your savings on necessities such as furniture to deck out your abode.
Easy like Sunday morning!

living options
From apartments to doublestorey homes & everything in between While our Genesis, Future and Ideal collections offer traditional style family homes which suit first homebuyers to fourth-time upgraders, we know these types of homes don’t appeal to everybody’s tastes. So, in addition to these three collections, Burbank also designs and builds a huge range of alternative living options. Our offering includes apartments, terraces, townhouses, duplex homes (two homes on one block) and cleverlyarranged quadrant homes (four homes on one block). So you’ll be sure to find a home you’ll love – and a home your friends will envy.
Blow your own trumpet with Burbank!

Led by experienced father and son team & backed by a 30 year guarantee You might have heard through the grapevine Burbank is an award-winning builder who has built thousands of homes for thousands of happy customers, but did you know 30 is our lucky number? Eddie started Burbank 30 years ago after a career in banking and finance. Son Jarrod’s passion for building homes overtook his obsession with all things automotive and he left his career as an engineer at Holden to join his father in the family business. Today, Eddie and Jarrod live and breathe home building. They lead a tight-knit team who design and build beautiful homes their clients are proud to call their own and provide a structural guarantee on each home for 30 years♦.
This father and son duet is a real crowd-pleaser!
So it’s thrilling when we’re recognised by industry peers through various awards.

Save thousands on heating & cooling bills† Energy costs seem to be continually rising and we’re all looking for ways to save on our electricity bills. Burbank’s Future collection of homes gives you a great head start in saving thousands of dollars a year on heating and cooling bills. Every Future home achieves a minimum 7-Star energy-efficiency rating which is a whole star above industry standard. Features such as double-glazed windows throughout, increased insulation, energy-efficient lighting and a gas-boosted solar hot water system all contribute to increased energy-efficiency. Add to this good living habits such as keeping windows, doors and drapes closed during excessively hot and cold days and recycling laundry water, and you’ll not only be helping save the earth, you could be saving thousands on your bills each year†.
