TRANSITIONING TO NBS CHORUS

READ THEIR STORY

COLLABORATION: A SUCCESS STORY

As part of a recent NBS webinar on collaborative specification writing, Chris Dixon (Associate Architect at Franklin Ellis Architects) described how he had worked with Dulux Trade to develop paint systems specifications for a complex building project.

SEE HOW THEY DID IT

NBS AND AUTODESK

NBS has a longstanding partnership with Autodesk, and has been recognised as an Autodesk Solution Associate. The integration of NBS Chorus and Autodesk Revit® allows users to develop their model and specification simultaneously, which greatly reduces the risk of information becoming out of sync and enables users to work smarter and more safely. Chorus also integrates with Autodesk 360, Common Data Environment.

THE STORY SO FAR

INTELLIGENT SPECIFICATION WRITING

International design practice Ryder Architecture was the first NBS customer to produce a specification using NBS Chorus, the cloud-based platform. Transitioning from Microsoft Word (their previous specification writing tool) to NBS Chorus has been a step change for Ryder, and has brought the process of specification writing into the 21st century.
