SCOPE

Section 5(4) (h) of the Act provides that the Council may make rules, processes for the grading of home builders.

 

This Grading System has been drawn up to assist the Council in grading Home Builders in respect of:
responsiveness to housing consumers' complaints

compliance with the NHBRC Technical Requirements; and
high quality in building homes.

 

All NHBRC Home Builders shall be graded in terms of this system.
