Re: Building with Burbank... 792Oct 22, 2012 9:35 pm I am building Salisbury 3000 a now unavailable plan from Burbank. I have been working with Burbank since Last November on this house to ensure we could commence as soon as land available and am starting to get very frustrated in the length of time the process is taking. My land has been available for over a month now and they have only just applied for my building permit, while other properties are bricked and tiled! I inquired why others have started and I am so far behind but no reason was given. I not have to wait for building permit and final drawings before construction letter can be sent. Any idea how long this will take? I initially wanted to be in before X-Mas , then lockup by X-mas, feel ill be lucky to have a slab by X-mas way we are going Re: Building with Burbank... 793Oct 23, 2012 7:23 am [quote="Planet Express"]I am building Salisbury 3000 a now unavailable plan from Burbank.

Then I think it was all go go go from there! I know how you feel watching others builds going ahead before your own, it happened to us. but we caught up with the neighbors and weve all moved in at the same time as each other.only took Burbank 3 months to build, so with the xmas break youll probs be in your home Febuary. Re: Building with Burbank... 794Oct 23, 2012 8:48 am 3 months?! That's a hella-quick build. There's a Burbank property being built opposite my site (which only started on Thursday) - they started late July and they've just finished bricking. They're not even at lock-up yet. Building a Delta 21 at Craigieburn - http://homeofzero.blogspot.com.au/ Deposit: 26/02. Contract: 22/05. Settlement: 29/05. Site start: 18/10.

A few doors down from us,we have a Burbank house that has stopped work for over three months! I would have to say it might have something do to with their progress payments? Builders need cash flow to build LIVING THE DREAM!

However I could not complain about the build process to date. Burbank have been great with keeping us up to date. Good luck with your build and I hope you have a great experience! LIVING THE DREAM! Re: Building with Burbank... 799Nov 08, 2012 5:41 pm Got my Building permit last Thursday, but still waiting to sign off on final construction drawings. Was told they would be ready when building permit comes through but its now a week later and still waiting. Burbank will be getting a call tomorrow if they have not come through by then as over 15 out of 20 other properties started construction now in my street and I'm still waiting on admin to be finalized, with Christmas break getting closer by the day.
