NBS, the
leading specification platform for the construction industry, has announced a
new set of features within their cloud-based specification platform, NBS
Chorus.
Launched in January this year, NBS Chorus has been
described as ‘game-changer’ for construction specification by allowing
architects, engineers and designers to rapidly create detailed specifications
for projects; helping them work faster whilst ensuring they stay compliant.
The new features will
allow users to further increase their productivity and reduce risk. They
include:
- the introduction of a Common
Arrangement of Work Sections (CAWS) library into NBS Chorus, which will
enable users required to specify in this format to write specifications
without missing out on benefits such as cloud-based working and multi team
collaboration
- a library for UK Uniclass 2015
Preliminaries will be added to Chorus, which contains pre-written clauses
created by NBS’ in-house expert team
- a new page format for
publishing specifications in Chorus, allowing for a more concise format
when publishing Uniclass 2015 based specifications from Chorus to a PDF or
Word document
- new ‘Master’ specifications
mean Chorus customers can easily organise regularly written content, or
reuse and save content from existing projects rather than being created
from scratch each time
Mike Riley, Associate
Architect at BDP comments: “This new concise publication option provides us
with the ability to issue our specifications in smaller packages and, by
grouping similar systems together, it will really improve the readability and
clarity of the published output.”
NBS CEO Richard
Waterhouse adds: “These improvements mean Chorus customers can save a great
deal of time while also sharing best practice within their business. They
tackle some of the big issues customers face when producing specifications,
enabling them to work quicker while also reducing risk.”
NBS can be found at
stand F68 and will be offering live demonstrations of NBS Chorus and the new
features during both days of Digital Construction Week. Both existing customers
and attendees are invited to the stand to find out more and see the features in
action.
One to one expert
sessions are also available to architects, engineers, contractors and
manufacturers, providing specialist help on how to win more work, coordinate
and collaborate of projects more effectively and better their BIM projects.
