Content Updates Scope & Contents

Full Service

Standard, Intermediate and Minor Works.

The Full service library is now only available as part of a subscription to NBS Chorus: our new, intelligent construction specification platform.

Abridged

Intermediate and Minor Works.

For more simple, medium sized projects. Scope is comprehensive but sections have been edited to suit the scale of work envisaged, and guidance is less extensive.

Minor Works

Minor Works.

For small scale works where brevity is important. There are fewer sections, which are edited for small jobs.
