PART A– NHBRC BACKGROUND

1. About NHBRC

1.1 The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) is a regulator body of

the home building industry. Our goal is to assist and protect housing consumers

who have been exposed to contractors who deliver housing units of substandard

design, workmanship and poor quality material. No matter the size or value of your

home building project the NHBRC is here to protect you, the housing consumer.

1.2 Established in 1998, in accordance with the provisions of The Housing Consumers

Protection Measures Act (Act No. 95 of 1998) the NHBRC’s mandate is to protect

the interests of housing consumers and to ensure compliance to regulated building

industry standards.

2. NHBRC Services

2.1 Home Builder Registration

2.1.1 Every home builder is required by law to be registered with the NBC. Registration

allows access to funding from financial institutions, access to NHBRC home

building materials, training programs and intervention by the NHBRC to maintain a

healthy working relationship between the builder and client.

2.1.2 Applications for registration are evaluated on:

1. Submission of completed registration forms

2. Payment of prescribed fees

3. Technical assessments

4. Financial assessments

5. Completion of NHBRC orientation and induction programs

2.2 Enrolment of new homes

2.2.1 The Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act 1998 requires all new homes to

be enrolled with the NHBRC 15 days prior to construction. The home enrolment

insures consumers against poor building practises and permits the NHBRC to

conduct building inspections at key stages of construction. Enrolment of homes is

subject to a fee which is scaled according to the value of the home.

2.2.2 Home Inspection NHBRC inspections are designed to mitigate building risks for the

consumer and to protect against poor workmanship during construction.


Depending on the enrolment values of the home, a newly enrolled home can be

subject to a minimum of four and a maximum of eight inspections. Where

necessary, the NHBRC will provide dispute resolution on site between the builder

and consumer. In the situation where the NHBRC inspector identifies a deviation

from NHBRC building guidelines, a non-compliance certificate will be issued to the

builder.

2.2.3 The builder will be obligated to rectify such non-compliance within a given

timeframe. If the builder is unable or unwilling to rectify it, the NHBRC has the

mandate to stop construction and undertake disciplinary action against the builder.

2.3 Complaints and conciliation

2.3.1 The complaint procedure aims to resolve disputes between housing consumers

and builders by ensuring that builders meet their obligations. The NHBRC deals

with three types of complaints:

a. Three month non-compliance period

Complaints relating to minor structural defect identified within three months of

occupation of the home.

b. One year roof leak period

Complaints relating to roof leaks identified within one year of occupation of the

home.

c. Five-year major structural defects period

Complaints relating to major structural defect identified within five years of

occupation of the home.

2.4 Suspension on Home Builders

2.4.1 The NHBRC may withdraw the registration of a builder where it has found that the

builder is guilty of failing to meet obligation in terms of the Act or where the building

company has been placed under voluntary liquidation. Following an investigation

and/or reasonable time to afford the builder an opportunity to affect corrective

measures, the NHBRC may suspend a builder's registration and/or the right to

enroll homes where it has found that:

1. The builder has failed to rectify reported building defects

2. The builder has failed to rectify non-compliance issued by the NHBRC

3. A situation requires immediate intervention and that such is in the best interest

of the consumer.


2.4.2 Suspended home builders are subject to the NHBRC Disciplinary Hearing Process

which can result in the disciplinary action or prosecution.

2.5 Industry Advisory Services

2.5.1 Working with the Department of Human Settlements the NHBRC is able to provide

advisory services on:

Industry developments Securing land for housing development Design and construction of homes Environment services Engineering services

2.6 Builder training and development

2.6.1 The NHBRC provides free technical training to emerging builders. Contact a

NHBRC office nearest to you to find out more about our training programs and

schedule.

3. Business overview

The NHBRC is a medium sized organization with a staff complement of 420

employees. The NHBRC’s head office is located in Bryanston, Gauteng with 9
