Over 900 construction professionals gave their views. Here we pick out ten highlights, which we believe will continue to be relevant in 2022.

The BIM Toolkit was an Innovate UK-initiated project launched in April 2015 as part of the Level 2 BIM package of tools and standards. Following this initial launch, NBS developed and maintained the platform for over six years, and made it free for users. In 2022, there will be some changes to the content and functionality within the BIM Toolkit.

Specifications for architecture, engineering, landscape, and the built environment give construction teams a detailed overview of the project work, required performance, and product selections. This article answers some commonly asked questions about specification and NBS.

Learn about the core elements of building information modelling (BIM), and find out why it's so important for construction projects.

Here we explore 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D building information modelling (BIM), and show how adding extra information can make for more timely decisions – and ultimately better buildings.

Being an Architect has never been so important. Originally, we would have needed to deliver a building that suited the client and withstood the elements. As time has gone on, our plates have stacked ever higher. The construction industry is now at risk of being labelled a 'dirty industry' with the built environment being linked to 49% of carbon emissions.

NBS Chorus includes the essential features needed to produce high-quality specifications in the cloud. The Chorus Pro level of subscription includes an enhanced set of features which enable complete cloud specification for smarter working. This article looks at these features, and the reasons why Chorus Pro is the right choice for organizations that specify on construction projects.

This is the latest in our quarterly updating programme for Uniclass 2015. It includes updates to eight tables.

Multi-discipline engineering design consultancy Hydrock told us how NBS Chorus helps them work more collaboratively for more efficient and consistent results. 

In May 2021, NBS hosted two webinars exploring the leading classification, Uniclass 2015, and how it's used across the industry on a range of construction projects. Following the session, several questions were asked by attendees, and we have provided answers.

Recently, the Uniclass 2015 team have been working closely with specialists at the Palace of Westminster to develop additional codes that can be applied to historic items within the Houses of Parliament and elsewhere.

Paul Swaddle, Head of Technical Solutions at NBS, discusses the key highlights for specifiers from our latest event ‘Construction Leaders’ Summit: Building for the Future’.
