The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) would like to warn the public not to conduct business with Modulus Civils and Construction an entity owned by Mr J.N. Bouwer which is conducting its business in and around Pretoria, Gauteng.

Modulus Civils and Construction is fraudulently carrying on the business of building homes without having registered and non-enrolment of homes with the NHBRC.

This is in contravention of the Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act 95 of 1998(HCPMA) which requires everyone in the business of building homes to register with the NHBRC and that all new homes must be enrolled (or registered) with the NHBRC 15 days prior to construction. Such a contravention is a criminal offence which carries a heavy fine or imprisonment.

The NHBRC would like to advise housing consumers who have been duped by Modulus Civils and Construction to open a criminal case against the entity and its owner.

Housing consumers who wish to build or buy a new home are advised to verify beforehand with the NHBRC as to the status of their builder, on either our toll free number (0800 200 824) or on the website www.nhbrc.org.za whether or not such a company or person is a registered home builder.
