Below is the Code of Ethics for the National
Association of Home Builders of which we ascribe
Members of the National Association of Home
Builders affirm that:
Home ownership should be within reach
of every American family. That these homes provide the best value possible, and are built
with high standards of safety, quality material, sanitation and livability. Furthermore,
that every home be backed by builder service and integrity.
As part of our responsibility to the home buyer,
our community and Country, NAHB members pledge allegiance to the following principles and
policies:
Honesty is our guiding policy in conducting
business affairs. We will strive consistently to comply with the spirit of the law in
financial transactions and business contracts, and manage our dealings with employees,
subcontractors and suppliers with fairness.
We will work toward establishing a balance between
legitimate environmental concerns and the need to develop and construct new housing. This will
include the conservation of land and energy through consideration of natural environmental as
well as intrinsic element in housing design.
To maintain our leadership as a progressive
industry, we will continue to encourage research and development of new materials, building
techniques, building equipment and improved methods of home financing. All sound legislative
proposals affecting our industry and the people we serve shall have our informed and vigorous
support.
Finally, because we hold inviolate the free
enterprise system and American way of life, we pledge our support to our associates, our local,
state and national association, and all related industries concerned with the preservation of
legitimate rights and freedoms.
We assume these responsibilities freely
and solemnly, mindful that they are a part of our obligations as members of the National
Association of Home Builders.
