The first residential scheme has been certified under the Home Quality Mark

The first Home Quality Mark (HQM) approved development has been certified by the Building Research Establishment (BRE). The development located in Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire consists of one hundred dwellings. The HQM approved scheme gives extra assurance to house buyers that their new home has been designed and will perform to a high environmental standard. This is exciting news for the new national standard for new homes!

The HQM developed by the BRE, uses a simple five-star rating to provide impartial information from independent experts on a new home’s design, construction quality and running costs. The new HQM One technical manual has been published and project registrations under this methodology can be made from the 24th August 2018.

Our team are fully trained HQM assessors and are able to register and assess developments under the latest version of the scheme. If you require any further information on the Home Quality Mark or would like to have a future development assessed under the scheme, please get in touch and a member of the team will be able to assist.
