NGBS Single-Family Certification Process

Step 1:		Download the Builder's Resource Guide (BRG).
Step 2:		Score the building using the downloadable scoring spreadsheet.
Step 3:		Hire an accredited verifier who will register the project and obtain a unique Project ID.
Step 4:		Register for an AXIS Account. Every NGBS Green client must have an AXIS account for certification purposes.

Step 6:		Home Innovation Research Labs will send a client agreement to new builders/developers.
Step 7:		Schedule a final inspection with your verifier.
Step 8:		Home Innovation Labs will review the report and issue a "NGBS Green Certified" certificate, provided all documentation is complete.
