2. Certifications for new housing
Certification of a housing project is a voluntary process undertaken by a project owner (social landlord or developer) or a builder of single-family homes, who chooses to have the quality of his or her real estate programs checked and validated.
In recent years, the number and diversity of certifications relating to housing quality has increased in response to the different expectations of future homeowners and tenants, as well as building owners and developers.
