Learn how to protect your new home from planning to construction and beyond.

What is nuBuild?

nuBuild is our program especially for property owners planning to build a new home and the contractors you’re working with.

It provides tips on and advice embedding security in all aspects of your build. Applying this advice from the outset, can help prevent you becoming a victim of crime in the future.

There are so many things to think about when building a new home, that sometimes important details, like long-term security, can be overlooked.

Topics covered include:

    • Fixtures and fittings to consider to make your new home as secure as possible even before you move in.

    • Ensuring your home is designed with security in mind to reduce the likelihood of break-ins

    • Chatting to your building contractor about on-site security to deter thefts and vandalism

    • Planning for a stress-free handover

We’ve prepared 3 great resources to help you get up to speed on protecting your home, from the design and planning stage, to construction, handover and beyond.
