The NHBC Standards define the technical requirements and performance standards for the design and construction of new homes registered with us and provide guidance on how these can be achieved.
Our dedicated Standards team is continually working to develop technical content and updates to the Standards, working with stakeholders from across the industry. This means that the Standards are always relevant, providing additional support and guidance to help builders and developers deliver the highest possible new home standards for the benefit of people living in them.
The current version of the NHBC Standards 2022 is now available to view online and will apply to new homes where the foundations were started on or after 1 January 2022. You can view the 2022 NHBC Standards online here.
