Defining Quality
&
Sustainability
© 2014 BRE
Home - A home is more than 4 walls and a roof, it is
about hearts and minds.
Quality - Everybody wants quality, but
doesn’t always know what it is.
Mark - Provides reassurance, independence,
backed by science.
“Independent benchmarking of new homes is hugely important”.
