The National Home Builders Registration Council resumed offering its full onsite service operations by reopening its customer walk-in centres at its main Provincial Offices as of Monday, 8th of June 2020 in line with the Level 3 Lockdown Regulations.

Offices that have reopened are Sunninghill, Pretoria, Cape Town, George, Durban, Polokwane, Port Elizabeth, East London, Rustenburg, Bloemfontein, Kimberley and Mbombela. Our satellite offices in Tzaneen, Witbank, Bethlehem, Thulamela, Mafikeng, Klerksdorp and Newcastle will be phased in gradually.

All home builders/contractors/developers are reminded to inform the NHBRC in writing during the following stages of construction not less than 5 working days before reaching the below mandatory structure:
