Fundamental Principle
The New Homes Quality Board Glossary of the terms used in the Code and Guidance, published by The New Homes Quality Board in 2021, defines Fundamental Principle as: ‘the Statement of Principles preface which summarises the principle-based approach to good customer service. These are not necessarily prescriptive as they reflect the overarching behaviour and treatment expected towards Customers and will require interpretation for different situations.’
