NHBC Registration

What does 'NHBC registered builder' mean?

Only builders and developers who can demonstrate financial security and technical competence are registered with the National House Building Council (NHBC).

NHBC carries out commercial and technical assessments of all applicant builders and developers before offering 'registered' status.

All registered builders agree to comply with NHBC Rules and build homes to NHBC Standards of construction.

Approximately 18,000 builders and developers are on the Register, and around 85% of new homes in the UK are registered with NHBC each year. Around 1.6 million homeowners are currently benefiting from Buildmark, our 10-year warranty and insurance.

Every NHBC registered home is inspected during construction.
