THE VALIDITY OF THE FUNCTION AND EFFECTIVENESS (IF ANY) OF THE NHBRC, IS REALLY BECOMING INCREASINGLY PAINFUL!
Looking at the recent storm in Western Cape in May 2026, one can only shake your head in the spare at the state of the building industry standards in South Africa, Africa! Roofs just peeling off in the wind, windows just blowing out in the wind….. And please do not defend yourself with the excuse that it was a bad storm The typhoons in Asia and the hurricanes in the USA have wins far exceeding what we experienced in May What we are seeing in South Africa is a failure of the implementation of a minimum building standard When you drive a car, you take the car on the worst dirt road to check if there are anything shocking in rattles or noises on the dirt road They are testing standards that apply and the testing standards always bring out failure in performance In my personal experience, I have suffered from the ridiculously weak standard in place for builders I doubt if any of the building inspectors even look at the standard support supporting the NHBRC! The caliber of builders allowed to register and represent the NHBRC is shocking! The criteria app**** is obviously an abysmal failure! Then there is the builders of a wide spectrum of competence, each interpreting what they think/what they understand from the standard! And then, of course, there’s the management of all of this! How can you sit in an office somewhere far away and not be present on a building site to actually manage the standard? This makes a bit of laughing stock of the NHBRC and no wonder the quality of construction is what it is! In a DC hearing with the NHBRC AND SUCH contractor in June 2025, had a favorable outcome to the homeowner! Alas, despite all the time and effort, the NHBRC, have been absolutely powerless and useless to implement the ruling till date (MAY 2026) So the question comes to mind: why is the NHBRC REQUIRE TO BE INVOLVED AT ALL? WHY DOES A PROJECT NEED TO BE REGISTERED WITH THE NHBRC? AND NOBODY AT THE NHBRC, RESPOND TO E-MAILS!

NHBRC IS USELESS
We have launched complain against a builder in 2023, but till today we haven't receive a formal response, even though the builder was found guilty on all counts of misconduct, I believe the builders give them a brown envelope.
