NHBC celebrates 90 years of raising standards

Published 01 Sep 2026

NHBC is celebrating 90 years of raising standards in home building as the UK’s leading independent provider of warranty and insurance for new-build homes.

Established to improve standards in new home construction, NHBC has been championing high quality homes and protecting homeowners since 1936, keeping pace with regulatory change, new construction methods and consumer expectations through the decades.

Starting with inspections 90 years ago, NHBC has evolved to offer so much more to support house builders in raising their standards, from providing comprehensive data to help monitor quality across sites to recognising site managers for their dedication to raising standards through the company’s prestigious Pride in the Job Awards.

Today NHBC is supporting the home-building industry with a £100m investment in a new national network of multi-skill training hubs and apprenticeships. These hubs will train the next generation of tradespeople with a focus on quality from the first day of their career and help safeguard the future of the industry.
