HOME QUALITY MARK FROM BRE


MEGAMENU DESCRIPTION


An indicator of performance and sustainability, the Home Quality Mark helps UK
house builders to showcase the quality of their homes.


HOME QUALITY MARK (HQM) WAS DEVELOPED BY THE BUILDING RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENT
(BRE)



Home Quality Mark (HQM) was developed by the Building Research Establishment
(BRE), the organisation behind BREEAM. Home Quality Mark is a symbol of quality
and sustainability for housebuilders and investors, and a mark of assurance for
homeowners and tenants.


FEATURE LIST 1




WHAT IS HOME QUALITY MARK?

HQM is a trusted standard for new homes in the UK. As a third party
certification, HQM provides independent verification that a property has met the
expected level of performance for sustainability and quality, thus reducing
risk. With tens of thousands of homes already registered, we are committed to
demonstrating the high quality of Home Quality Mark approved homes and
differentiating them in the marketplace.

Whether you’re a property owner, developer, or investor, we’re here to help you
understand every step of the journey towards achieving HQM certification for
your property.

BENEFITS OF HOME QUALITY MARK

In today’s world, sustainability is a necessity. For the build-to-rent and
co-living sectors, HQM provides a comprehensive framework for creating homes
that are not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective and
comfortable to live in. For investors, HQM demonstrates commitment to
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations: a clear advantage in
a competitive marketplace. For developers, it’s an opportunity to stand out in
the market with homes that truly make a difference. And for buyers, HQM means
their new home is built with care for the occupants’ wellbeing and the
environment.

HQM AND BREEAM: A SHARED LEGACY

HQM and BREEAM are based on the same science. While BREEAM in the UK focuses on
commercial properties, HQM is dedicated to residential developments. Whether
you’re building a commercial property or a residential home, we offer a trusted
standard that meets your needs.
