Raising standards to protect homeowners
Sustainability services
Housing accounts for more than 25% of the UK's carbon emissions so sustainability is rightly at the top of the housebuilding agenda.
NHBC can help control your costs when building sustainable new homes. Providing certification and research for Code for Sustainable Homes, EcoHomes and BREEAM, NHBC's experienced and award-winning staff provide the expertise housebuilders and professionals need.
