Getting Started with Schedules

Join us for an in-depth introduction to Schedules, a powerful new feature in NBS Chorus designed to help you create structured project schedules directly from your specification data.

Webinar

Wednesday 18 March, 11AM GMT 

Traditionally, schedules have been developed separately from the main specification, increasing the risk of duplication and inconsistency. The new ‘Schedules’ feature in NBS Chorus changes that. It allows you to generate clear, tabular schedules, built from the same shared dataset as your specification.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how to use the Schedules feature and explain how Schedules are driven from your main specifications.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build schedules clause-by-clause.
  • Represent manufacturer products in schedules.
  • Organise multiple items in a schedule at once.
  • Export schedules to Excel or publish to PDF or Word.
  • Publish schedules with corporate branding and save publications to your project history.

We will also explore practical use cases, including: 

  • Capturing design responsibilities or creating client-facing material schedules at early project stages.
  • Building schedules to support planning submissions or schedules that demonstrate compliance with building regulations.
  • Generating exportable lists of priceable items for projects that require these at tender.

Speakers

  • Dr Stephen Hamil, Innovation Director at NBS
  • David Morris, Product Owner at NBS

If you are looking to improve coordination, reduce duplication and get more value from your specification data, this session will show you how. Register now to secure your place.
