As a valued customer, we urge you to ensure that your builder is registered and certified by the NHBRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any person who is involved in the business of building homes is required by law to register with us and failure to do so constitutes a criminal offence punishable by law. The NHBRC certifies builders who meet the prescribed industry standards criteria in terms of technical competence, construction experience and financial capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Act also requires all new homes to be enrolled with the NHBRC at least 15 days prior to construction. Enrolling your home building project with the NHBRC protects you against poor building practices. Our building quality inspectors will inspect the construction of your home to ensure that it is not exposed to structural failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LEGAL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhbrc.org.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1.-Introduction-to-Housing-Consumers-Protection-Measures-Act-95-of-1998.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Introduction to Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act 95 of 1998<\/a><br>2.
