NHBC, the National House-Building Council, is the standard setting body and leading warranty and insurance provider for new and newly converted homes in the UK. Started in 1936 as the National House-Builders Registration Council, NHBC has worked consistently to raise the construction standards of new homes and provide protection for new homebuyers. As the UK's leading warranty and insurance provider for new homes, NHBC's Buildmark warranty cover more than 80% of new homes built in the UK and currently protects approximately million homes. The role of the NHBC is to work with the house-building and wider construction industry to provide inspection and technical services to raise the standards of new homes, and to provide consumer protection for new home owners. There are approximately 20,000 house builders and developers on NHBC's Register (known as registered builders or registered developers) who agree to comply with NHBC Rules and Standards when building new homes.
