Here we take a closer look at just one organisation that is supporting the UK’s house builders and developers, and giving homeowners access to the highest quality housing as a result.

Introducing the National House Building Council

The National House Building Council (NHBC) has a long history supporting UK builders and protecting homeowners. Since 1936, the NHBC has been providing warranties and insurance for new build properties independently, and continue to be a trusted and recognised authority within the construction sector.

How does the NHBC work?

NHBC Standards have been setting the benchmark for quality since the 1940s. Their Build mark warranty and insurance is a sign that the property meets stringent technical requirements and performance standards, with both the property’s design and construction carefully assessed to achieve this ‘seal of approval’.

The NHBC’s Build mark offers essential peace of mind for homeowners within the new build market, a sector that generally has a reputation for questionable build quality.

What does the NHBC protect?

Their Build mark currently protects approximately 1.5 million homes within the UK, and actively provides training and quality services to NHBC registered builders who construct and sell properties. The NHBC also independently assesses, inspects and insures homes to guarantee excellence throughout the construction industry.

Why choose an NHBC registered builder?

Choosing an NHBC registered builder for your next project unlocks several advantages. By opting for an NHBC registered professional, you’ll have assurances in regards to the quality of your finished build as well as support from an industry recognised, trusted body. You’ll also be supporting a better, more diverse and inclusive, and sustainable building sector.

Why register with the NHBC?

There are benefits to registering as an NHBC builder too. As an NHBC registered builder, you’ll be associated with a leading home warranty and insurance brand. You’ll also have access to their Build mark warranty and insurance cover with technical risk management and inspection advice available whenever you need it.

Whether using Look4 Builders as a homeowner or building professional, supporting organisations like the National House Building Council is one step towards raising all-important standards in house building.
