What is Buildmark?

Buildmark is designed for NHBC registered builders and the owners of newly-built, newly-converted or one off high-value homes constructed by NHBC registered builders. Buildmark provides pre-completion deposit protection; a two year builder warranty period backed by the NHBC resolution service and guarantee; and then an eight year insurance policy for physical damage to the home caused by a failure to build to the NHBC requirements.
