Raising standards to protect homeowners
Type Approvals
Type Approval of a repeat design, building system or feature can speed up your subsequent site as it will always be accepted by NHBC throughout England and Wales.
Where are Type Approvals used?
Whole buildings or any repetitive element of a building can be type approved. You can get Type Approvals for:
- House types
- Building systems
- Standard garages
- Standard specifications
- Standard details

- Building elements

Your NHBC building surveyor will be happy to discuss any special requirements you might have.
