In 1985, under the Building Act 1984, NHBC set up a subsidiary company ( NHBC Building Control Services Ltd ) and became the first private sector building control body licensed as an Approved Inspector for the purpose of verifying that buildings are built in accordance with the building regulations across England and Wales.

All site managers running a building site that is registered for NHBC Warranty are automatically entered into the competition.

The inspection process is not designed to check every detail of the build but if NHBC is satisfied with the overall build quality they will issue the warranty for the new home / premises.

Builders and developers who sell properties with NHBC warranties must adhere to NHBC's strict standards of construction contained in the NHBC Technical Standards in addition to complying with Building Regulations in the UK.

NHBC offers a range of additional services to help builders comply with Building Regulations, Health and Safety legislation and other construction rules.

Judging takes place over an 18 month period by NHBC Building Inspectors with the Regional and Supreme winners in each category being judged by independent experts as well as NHBC Regional Directors.

NHBC was originally set up as the National House Builders Registration Council ( NHBRC ) in the United Kingdom in 1936 with the primary purpose to increase the care and professionalism shown by house builders.

NHBC ( National House-Building Council ) states its primary purpose as raising the construction standards of new homes in the UK to protect homeowners.

In the first 2 years, the builder is responsible for fixing any defects caused by its failure to build to NHBC Technical Standards.

From the start of the third year until the home is 10 years old, NHBC is responsible for putting right defects to the structural and weather-proofing parts of the home caused by breaches of its Technical Standards.

New houses in the UK may be covered by a NHBC guarantee but some people feel that it would be more useful to put new houses on the same legal footing as other products.

Established in 1936, NHBC is the UK's largest provider of new home warranties.

Around 80 % of new homes built in the UK each year have an NHBC 10-year warranty.

NHBC is also the UK's largest single Approved Inspector for Building Regulations.

NHBC is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

NHBC offers warranties for newly built or converted private housing, affordable housing, self-build homes and commercial premises located on mixed use housing schemes.

Buildmark, the NHBC warranty for private housing is split into 2 parts.

If the builder fails to do this or has gone out of business, NHBC will take responsibility to fix the defect.

NHBC compiles and distributes statistics and analysis about the UK housing market that are used by Government and financial institutions, as well as homebuilders.

Examples are the Housing Market Report and the NHBC Quarterly Statistics.

NHBC runs two national awards programmes: Pride in the Job and the NHBC Health and Safety Awards.
