CBH Homes 2016 NHQA Announcement

Ever heard of the National Housing Quality Award (NHQA)? If you’re in the home building industry, then listen up. The NHQA is the home building’s top award for quality management. Here’s the run down, home builders submit an application that can be up to 20 pages long. They are compiling everything from stats, to processes, to your mission statement, from there, a committee reviews the application.  Three builders are chosen to receive a site visit and then, it’s game on.

The NHQA site visit is an all out intense session with 3 judges. Picture this, 3 days of someone digging, then prying, and lastly questioning everything you do.

After that, it’s an excruciating month until you hear back with your results.

Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for arrived! Cue the NHQA drum roll…
