The latest changes to Uniclass 2015 include updates to the Entities, Spaces, Systems and Product tables.

In addition, our work with the team at Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) in Australia has brought about the introduction of a new table for Roles. The TfNSW team launched their digital engineering procedures towards the end of 2018, which implemented Uniclass 2015 as the classification structure for this project.

We are now working with Royal HaskoningDHV to include classifications for marine projects. New codes have been added as a result of this work.

We have also recently launched our new online specification platform NBS Chorus, which natively supports the Uniclass 2015 classification system.

The work of maintaining and enhancing Uniclass 2015 to support the needs of those operating in the built environment is an ongoing exercise. We are grateful for the input from all of the organisations and individuals that we have worked with.

The work of maintaining and enhancing Uniclass 2015 to continually support the needs of those operating in the built environment is an ongoing exercise. We welcome comment and input from all sectors in the construction industry via uniclass2015@theNBS.com.

Visqueen launches Ultimate Self Adhesive Membrane for hydrocarbon and VOC-contaminated sites

The construction industry faces growing challenges when building on increasingly complex brownfield sites. Alongside the need for effective waterproofing, developers and contractors must now address a wider range of ground contaminants, including hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hazardous ground gases, while maintaining programme efficiency and installation quality. Against this backdrop, Visqueen has expanded its gas protection and waterproofing portfolio with the launch of Visqueen Ultimate Self Adhesive Membrane, a new hydrocarbon and VOC-resistant self-adhesive tanking membrane. Developed as the latest addition to the Visqueen non-foil gas barrier range, the new membrane combines proven gas barrier and waterproofing performance to help specifiers address multiple site challenges with a single solution.

Siderise: Helping to bridge the gap between Gateway 2 approval and on-site fire protection

While the new building safety regime hasn’t fundamentally changed what requirements higher-risk buildings (HRBs) must meet to comply with the Building Regulations, it has significantly increased the breadth, depth and volume of evidence that must be supplied to demonstrate this. As a result, project teams have had to adapt the way they work and even look beyond their roles to understand how their actions may impact the next Dutyholder in the chain. For specifiers, this can include considering what supporting services are offered with life safety-critical elements to enable correct design, installation and maintenance. Early engagement with manufacturer technical specialists can help identify any practical challenges that may arise onsite. Then, during construction, these services can help support the translation of design intent into reality so that buildings are safe for occupation.

RIBA CPD for Architects: Understanding Flooring Specification and Detailing

For architects and specifiers, flooring details can have a significant impact on the safety, accessibility, durability and overall performance of a building. Yet the technical considerations surrounding stairways, floor transitions, and floor finishes are not always straightforward.
