I recently saw an advert for ‘MyPlace’ a ‘Virtual Build Information System’ by Burbank.
What Is A Virtual Build Information System?
If you build your new home with Burbank home you will be able to log into ‘MyPlace’ at any time. You will then be able to:
- Download documents.
- See photos of your home being built.
- See updates from the Builder.
Is it A Good Idea
Well it sound ‘Modern’ and ‘High Tech’ but I’m not convinced.
- I always like to be able to have signed document in my hand, not electronic documents!
- Is it just a system to try and keep you away from the site, and stop you asking awkward quality questions?
- How much detail will the photos really show to help you gauge the build quality?
- Many people building have problems in getting a weekly phone update from the Site Supervisor, so how frequently and up to date will the information be?
I might be interested if I was having a house built a long way from where I lived, but in my mind nothing replaces regular site visits during the build.
If you have used one of these Virtual Build Information System I would like to hear about your experiences.
