Created specifically for consultancies that write preliminaries, get all the benefits of NBS Chorus in a cost-effective package.
We’ve created a cost-effective version of NBS Chorus which includes the preliminaries content for the most commonly used contracts from leading publishers such as JCT and NEC.
It’s perfect for Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers who want to use the powerful features available with a subscription to Chorus but don’t need access to all the specification content libraries.
Libraries of pre-written specification clauses, guidance and manufacturer product information are written by our multi-disciplinary specialist team.
NBS Chorus covers multi-discipline content, which means that an accurate specification can be written in less time, avoiding the risk of duplicated or conflicting content.
