Custom-build and build-to-contract homes
Whether it's a modest bungalow or on a grander scale, Buildmark is the warranty and insurance product for custom-built homes
Why choose NHBC for custom-built homes?
If you’ve been appointed to build a home on behalf of an individual client who intends to live there, then Buildmark is the right warranty and insurance product to choose because you and your client will benefit from:
Cover from exchange of contracts
Buildmark provides your client with pre-completion cover if you're unable to complete the build.
10 years cover after completion
Buildmark will provide warranty and insurance cover for the new home for 10 years post-completion. Unlike with an Architect's Certificate, as long as the terms of Buildmark cover are met, there is no need for the home buyer to prove negligence in the event of a claim.
Expert technical support
Your allocated building inspector will visit your site at key build stages to support you in meeting NHBC standards. The relationships our field-based inspectors have with our builders, backed by our extensive in-house technical expertise and full customer service support, are highly valued.
Association with market-leading brand
We are the leading warranty and insurance provider for new homes in the UK. Our Buildmark cover product covers around 70-80% of new homes built in the UK.
A one-stop shop for warranty, Building Control and consultancy services
For consistency, quality and efficiency many of our builders choose to work with us for Building Control as well as services such as health and safety consultancy, energy ratings and land quality endorsement. We are a unique source of information, data and support.
