NBS

The proposed Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 (CDM) came into effect on 6 April 2015.

The fifth NBS National BIM Report - the industry's most comprehensive report on BIM – looks at how UK building design professionals are adapting to the use of BIM.

The NBS BIM toolkit designed to help users complete projects to Level 2 BIM moved into its public beta phase on Wednesday 8 April at BIM Show Live in Manchester.

The NBS National BIM Library is now the largest library of BIM objects in the UK and it is growing faster than any other. But don’t just take our word for it, you can see for yourself!

We consider the use of BIM across the project lifecycle.

We love to hear about how our customers use our products across their projects. Here, as part of our series of case studies, we look at how Sheffield City Council used our specification product NBS Building on the multi-million pound redevelopment of the city's Botanical Gardens and its plans to implement NBS Create.

NBS is on course to deliver a BIM Toolkit ahead of the 2016 deadline for the use of Level 2 BIM on public sector projects. Here, we round-up what has happened so far and take a look at what you can expect when the service launches.

UK growth in the construction sector is expected to outpace the general economy but there are problems when it comes to productivity.

A look at how NBS services have been used to develop Bridlington Leisure World.

We will visit Hoare Lea’s new offices, where they have invested heavily in new designed lighting systems and techniques that enhance energy use and lower costs, while providing a better psychological environment for staff.

This new gallery for architectural drawings, designed by German/Russian practice SPEECH Tchoban & Kuznetsov recently won the ar+d awards in the UK. It is a small 500m² gallery in Berlin, constructed in five above-ground tiers. The key focus of this programme is in the constructional techniques that have resulted in the decorative concrete surface of the main walls: abstractionist motifs. So the gallery for drawings is itself a drawing.

This programme will present key research on the impact of energy efficiency strategies - such as the installation of insulation, draught-proofing and boiler upgrades - in low-income houses. It especially focuses on the health benefits of these improvements for elderly and infirm occupants and those generally regarded to be in fuel poverty.
