Quality
Our goal is to lead the industry in producing high-quality, safe homes for all.
Our Approach
We build high-quality homes where people aspire to live. We do not have any standard property types or formats, and no two Berkeley Group developments are the same. Instead we work with the best architects to create unique designs that meet our customers' needs.
High-Quality Homes
Implementing high-quality standards and targeting zero defects
We build quality homes that delight our customers in every detail.
It is instilled in our culture to focus on all aspects of a home’s delivery, from intrinsic building safety and design to final finishes that are visible to our customers. This is delivered by ensuring our staff are trained to adhere to stringent and enhanced Building Safety and Quality Assurance (BSQA) arrangements, which are inspected and approved at all stages through rigorous internal and external audits.
We continue to outperform the industry average for defects reported by customers six weeks after they move in, and target zero defects.
Safe Homes
Delivering homes that are safer by design
Through our strategic partnership with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), we were involved in the development of RoSPA's Safer By Design framework. Over 30 of our developments have now achieved Safer by Design Gold status, with many more currently completing the formal assessment process, helping to make new homes safer to live in, particularly for young people and the elderly.
Highlights
Through a strategic partnership with RoSPA we helped to develop the Safer By Design Standard for new homes
Over 60% of homes have zero defects reported by customers, compared to an industry average of 5%
91% of our homes had zero defects or fewer than five defects, as reported by our customers
