Every builder in South Africa who constructs new homes is required by law to be registered with the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) under the Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act of 1998. Building a new home without an NHBRC registered builder is a criminal offence — and your home cannot be bonded by a bank, insured or enrolled for the 5-year structural warranty.
Why NHBRC registration matters to you as a homeowner: An NHBRC enrolled home qualifies for a 5-year structural warranty, home loan financing and building insurance from day one. Without it — no bank will bond the property, no insurer will cover it, and you have no legal recourse for structural defects. Always demand to see a builder's NHBRC registration certificate and verify it yourself at eservices.nhbrc.org.za before signing any contract.
