What is Buildmark?

Buildmark is designed for NHBC registered builders and the owners of newly-built, newly-converted or one off high-value homes constructed by NHBC registered builders. Buildmark provides pre-completion deposit protection; a two year builder warranty period backed by the NHBC resolution service and guarantee; and then an eight year insurance policy for physical damage to the home caused by a failure to build to the NHBC requirements.

Our insurance products and policy wordings are reviewed regularly. We communicate a summary of the main changes at least annually to ensure all our builders and developers are kept up to date with our product offerings, and advise which policy version is applicable at the time you pay for a product. If you need to discuss anything or request to receive communications from us, please email ccsupport@nhbc.co.uk.
