Countdown to Ecobuild

NBS is delighted to announce that we are confirmed as a supporter of Ecobuild, which takes place at ExCel in London from 5 - 7 March 2013, with over 1,500 organisations showcasing the latest and best range of sustainable construction products for new build, refurbishment, residential and commercial projects.

NBS at Ecobuild

We will have a significant presence within the RIBA Village stand, where we will be talking about key issues such as sustainability, BIM, specification and contracts and law. On the stand we will be showcasing our revolutionary specification tool, NBS Create, and the ground breaking National BIM Library.

Within the RIBA Village visitors and exhibitors will not only find NBS, they will also discover RIBA Bookshops, RIBA Product Selector, RIBA CPD, RIBA Insight, RIBA Journal and RIBA Appointments as well as information about the RIBA's activities.

We will be revealing more details of the events happening on the stand over the coming weeks, so keep an eye out on theNBS.com for more details.
