Tool summary

Name of the tool
Housing Quality Indicators (HQI)

Description of the tool
The Housing Quality Indicators system is a measurement and assessment tool designed to allow potential or existing housing schemes to be evaluated on the basis of quality rather than simply of cost. The quality rating derived by using the system does not provide a direct correlation with financial values, not does it set out minimum standards.
(Initially produced by DETR they are now produced and updated by ODPM).
