  4. Hi Geraldine, we do not do registrations, I think you need to contact the NHBRC. The Tollfree Number: 0800 146 873 and website is http://www.nhbrc.org.za

  5. Hi Fred, We have an article on our other website that gives all the details of the NHBRC fees that have to be paid here: nhbrc-fees

  6. Good day,
    Send through a copy of builder and client standard agreement form.
    Regards,
    Marks.

  7. Download here. Scroll down to Model Agreement-NHBRC

  8. I just want to check that do you do Enrolment on a back room.thank you

  9. Hi Malusi, We do not do enrolments. The NHBRC does not require you to enrol for additions.

  10. Hi

    Do you allow somebody with no building experience to write your exams. the intention is to become a contractor.

    regards
    Khathu

  11. Please contact the NHBRC directly.

    I purchased a home in april 2014 that was built in 2012. The buildings roof is collapsing due to under or no design. How do I find out who the builder was or bring this matter to the attention of your council?

  13. hi
    please advise how to complete nhbrc ef003 & b1 forms correctly. an explanation/translation/key so as to understand abbreviated options on said forms
    Regards, dee

  14. Deirdre if you have problems with NHBRC forms it would be best to contact them for clarification.

  15. We are not the NHBRC – you need to contact them directly. However you should be able to get details of builder etc from your local council as they hold the approved plans.

  16. Great site – full of common sense / useful information. However I cant track down where the overall maximum height of a residential building is noted.

    I have tracked down the recommended FFL to u/s Ceiling which makes sense at 2.40m however floor thicknesses (slabs, etc) as well as use of flat roofs (with a parapet) – no where to be found on this site….

    Help!!!

    What happens when one buys a existing house five years old which was not registered with the NHBRC,
    On purchasing the property I require a bond and the bank is asking for the NHBRC registration certificate. What does one do now?

  18. Maximum heights can be found in the local authority zoning documents.
    Slabs and foundations go hand-in-hand and will be specified on plans.
    Flat concrete roofs (with parapet walls) are mentioned in Part L but this doesn’t cover structural design.
    Please remember that we have not replicated the building regulations but have rather provided guidelines to them in a fairly simple way that most non-professionals (as in construction) will understand.
