NHBC System Review
Building confidence in innovative construction
Building confidence in innovative construction
NHBC System Review is our comprehensive review service for innovative systems. It is the effective route for certification of these systems for use in homes covered by all NHBC warranty and insurance policies, equivalent to around 70-80% of the new homes built in the UK each year.
With the demands on the industry to increase the volume of new homes’ supply and the simultaneous challenges around materials and skills, we are at a critical stage in the development of modern methods of construction (MMC). We are proud to be using our scale, expertise and knowledge of house building to work with manufacturers to provide developers, investors, lenders and home buyers with the confidence that innovative systems can meet the same high standards of quality and durability as traditionally built homes.

The difference NHBC System Review makes
Building confidence
The time is right to support the development of innovative methods of construction and it is in all our interests to get it right. There is a growing number of organisations that require systems to be certified through NHBC System Review, and the service is recognised by key industry stakeholders, including Homes England and UK Finance.
Procurement reassurance
Our assessment process is in-depth and carried out by our specialist team. We thoroughly check that the system meets our exacting Standards. Save time by procuring a system with an NHBC System Review certificate, with the reassurance that, subject to appropriate design and installation, it can be accepted by us for warranty cover.
Continuous improvement
Once reviewed, our process means that a new system being used out on sites has ongoing monitoring. We seek feedback from those working with the system on site, conduct factory visits and check our own inspection and claims data. Certification is fully checked and renewed annually.
Investible and tradeable assets
NHBC System Review gives confidence to investors and lenders that a new system can meet the NHBC Standards. NHBC System Review certification is a key part of a valuer’s due diligence and provides confidence in the quality and longevity of the new homes being built.
