2 1. Principles and standards 2. Drivers and uptake

3 Wh are we? researchers, scientists, engineers, architects, planners and ther built envirnment prfessinals sharing a cmmn gal t build a better wrld; tgether

8 Prviding cnsumers with infrmatin t help make a smart chice when buying r renting a new hme Enabling huse builders t shwcase their quality and differentiate themselves Prvide assurance t plicy makers, planners and financiers that hmes will be built t higher quality standards

9 Underpinned by stakehlder cnsultatin and cnsumer research Technical Crss industry fcus grups and live test cases Market MneySupermarket, CSH residents, Grand Designs and fcus grups

10 Cnsumers are cncerned value impartial infrmatin 98% f new hme wners reprted snags and defect in 2017 (HBF, 2017) Over 90% prefer a hme with an independent mark 1-5 willing t pay mre (75% > 750 mre)

18 Strategic Eclgy Framewrk Identifying and understanding the risks and pprtunities fr the site Managing negative impacts n habitats and bidiversity Enhancement f eclgical value Lng term bidiversity management and maintenance Updating ur apprach and aligning with current thinking i.e. ecsystem services and natural capital

19 Drivers and uptake

20 13,000+ Hmes Registered HQM Beta acrss England HQM One = Wales and Sctland

21 High end / luxury Scial husing prviders SME husebuilders Large and small develpments Flats / detached hmes

25 Added value thrugh Resurce efficiencies ne stp shp t ensure quality Hlistic scpe reducing the risk f unintended cnsequence. Transparency and rbustness ensuring that bjectives are actually met and delivered n site Accessible cnsumer facing scheme able t cmmunicate t a wider stakehlder grup Natinally recgnized part f a natin wide cllective increasing access t resurces and inspiratin

26 If yu remember nthing else HQM is a resurce efficient way t ensure that sustainability bjectives are being delivered, and cmmunicated t a range f stakehlders (including the cnsumer)
