Here, you thrive

Since 1936, we’ve been the trusted name that stands for quality in house building and new home warranty and insurance. With brilliant benefits and a culture where everyone is valued and supported, we stand for quality careers too.

Our purpose

We exist to raise standards in house building by championing high-quality homes and protecting homeowners.

Our teams do this through training and quality services and by assessing, inspecting and directly insuring new homes registered with us.

Values that set us apart

How we do things is just as important as what we do.

That’s why we have a set of values that don't just describe us at our best but actively shape our behaviours and how we move forward together, every single day. 

Turn intent into action. 
Deliver with pace and pride.


We do not wait for perfect conditions. We move things forward, take ownership and follow through on what we say we will do. 

This matters because good intentions are not enough. To deliver the strategy, we need consistent, timely, high quality work that builds confidence and turns ambition into progress.

Stay curious. Keep improving. 
Be ready for what’s next.


We look ahead rather than stand still. We stay open, keep learning and challenge ourselves to find better ways of working. 

This matters because our environment is changing fast. To stay relevant and effective, we need to adapt thoughtfully and improve continuously.

Connect early. Back each other. 
Succeed together.


We work across boundaries, not around them. We share information openly, involve the right people and make decisions in the interests of NHBC as a whole. 

This matters because silos slow us down. Working as one NHBC helps us move faster, think better and deliver more consistently.

Put customers and consumers at the heart of everything.


We never lose sight of why NHBC exists: to raise standards in house building, champion high quality homes and protect homeowners. 

This matters because purpose only means something when people can feel it in the way we work. When we focus on real needs and real outcomes, we strengthen trust every day.
