  3. Members shall at all times contribute their knowledge in home building to the best interests of those they serve.
  4. Members shall not knowingly enter into any contract the terms of which are designed to imperial the rights of either labor or the supplier of materials to receive a fair return for the services or good furnished.
  5. Members shall not obtain any business by means of fraudulent statements or by use of implications unwarranted by fact or reasonable probability.
  6. Members shall comply both in spirit and letter with the rules and regulations prescribed by law and government agencies for the health, safety and progress of the community.

  8. Members shall not perform, or cause to be performed, any act which would tend to reflect on, or bring into disrepute, any part of the home building industry.

Members of the National Association of Home Builders believe and affirm that: Home ownership can and should be within reach of every American family.

  • American homes should be well designed, well constructed, and well located in attractive communities, with educational, recreational, religious, and shopping facilities accessible to all.
  • American homes should be built under the free American enterprise system.

To achieve these goals, we pledge allegiance to the following principles and policies: Our paramount responsibility is to our customer, our community, and our country.

  • Honesty is our guiding business policy.
  • High standards of health, safety, and sanitation shall be built into every home.
  • Members shall deal fairly with their respective employees, subcontractors, and suppliers.
  • As members of a progressive industry, we encourage research to develop new materials, new building techniques, new building equipment, and improved methods of home financing, to the end that every home purchaser may get greatest possible value for every dollar.
  • All sound legislative proposals affecting our industry and the people we serve shall have our informed and vigorous support.
  • We hold inviolate the free enterprise system and the American Way of Life. We pledge our support to our associates, our local, state, and national associations, and all related industries concerned with the preservation of legitimate rights and freedoms.
  • We assume these responsibilities freely and solemnly, mindful that they are part of our obligation as members of the National Association of Home Builders.
