The NHBC Standards give the technical requirements, performance standards and guidance for the design and construction of new homes acceptable to NHBC.

We provide a range of supplementary technical information, videos and 3D models to support the Standards.

The 2019 NHBC Standards came into force for every new home registered with NHBC where foundations were begun on or after 1 January 2019.
