National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) Late Enrolment Guarantees
National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) Late Enrolment Guarantees
The NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) is a regulatory body within the home building industry, established in 1998 under the Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act, 1998 (Act No. 95 of 1998).
The NHBRC’s mandate is to protect housing consumers against unscrupulous home builders who:
Deliver substandard houses
Provide poor workmanship
Use inferior quality materials
All individuals or entities involved in home building are required by law to register each home with the NHBRC. Failure to do so constitutes a criminal offence. The Act also requires that all new homes be enrolled with the NHBRC at least 15 days before the commencement of construction.
Enrolling a home with the NHBRC protects homeowners against substandard building practices. NHBRC building quality inspectors monitor construction to ensure homes are not exposed to structural failure.
If a home builder fails to register a home and commences construction without enrolment, the NHBRC may penalize the builder and require a late enrolment guarantee for work that was not inspected.

For residential complexes with multiple units, the guarantee value may be higher.
