National Housing Maintenance Forum

To raise standards in the maintenance of managed housing

The NHMF aims to achieve this through:

• Working with M3 to develop schedules of rates and service specifications that set standards for the cost and quality of maintenance and assist the providers of managed housing to procure maintenance on the best terms
• To promote good practice in maintenance through
  • Running conferences and seminars
  • Funding publications on best practice in maintenance
  • Circulating a Bulletin on maintenance to all social housing providers in the UK
  • Presenting annual awards for outstanding performance
  • Promoting benchmarking
  • Maintaining a website with examples of good practice

We manage this through a committee that is representative of the different organisations involved in maintenance, and of each region of the UK,

• that is open to new members, and accountable via its AGM which is open to anyone attending the NHMF Conference, with invitations sent to all clients using the NHMF Schedule of Rates
• that is serviced by M3 Housing
• with an Executive Committee to monitor the use of the NHMF's funds and the way services are delivered.

The work of the NHMF is funded though the annual licence fees paid by users of the NHF Schedule of Rates and other related products developed under the guidance of the NHMF.
