When you walk around a new build for the first time, you notice the kitchen, the brickwork, the garden. What you don't see is the ground it's all sitting on, and that's arguably the most important part of the whole home.

NHBC Chapter 4.1 sets out exactly what your developer should have done to assess and manage the ground before construction began. From desk studies and walkover surveys to trial pits, contamination testing and verification reports, there's a lot that should have happened on your plot before the first brick was laid.

Our latest blog post breaks it all down in plain English, and explains what paperwork you can ask your developer to produce.

Moving into a new build with solar thermal panels on the roof? They're a great bit of kit, but only if your developer has installed them properly. NHBC Standards Chapter 8.5 sets out exactly what's expected, from coastal-grade fixings to the homeowner pack you should receive on day one.

We've broken it all down in plain English on the blog, including what to look out for at handover and where a snagging inspection can help.

You've picked the kitchen. You've chosen the paint. You've planned the garden.But have you given a single thought to the timber holding your new home together?

The floor joists, roof rafters, sole plates, and cladding all rely on the right species, the right treatment, and the right installation, decisions made long before you got the keys. The NHBC dedicates an entire chapter of its 2026 Standards to getting it right, and we've broken it down in plain English.
