COLLABORATION: A SUCCESS STORY

As part of a recent NBS webinar on collaborative specification writing, Chris
Dixon (Associate Architect at Franklin Ellis Architects) described how he had
worked with Dulux Trade to develop paint systems specifications for a complex
building project.

SEE HOW THEY DID IT


NBS AND AUTODESK

NBS has a longstanding partnership with Autodesk, and has been recognised as an
Autodesk Solution Associate. The integration of NBS Chorus and Autodesk
Revit® allows users to develop their model and specification simultaneously,
which greatly reduces the risk of information becoming out of sync and enables
users to work smarter and more safely. Chorus also integrates with Autodesk 360,
Common Data Environment.

THE STORY SO FAR


INTELLIGENT SPECIFICATION WRITING

International design practice Ryder Architecture was the first NBS customer to
produce a specification using NBS Chorus, the cloud-based platform.
Transitioning from Microsoft Word (their previous specification writing tool) to
NBS Chorus has been a step change for Ryder, and has brought the process of
specification writing into the 21st century.

NBS CHORUS FOR SMALL PRACTICES

J Foster Architects is a London-based practice that predominantly delivers small
residential projects such as conversions, extensions and renovations. The
practice has used the NBS Building software for many years but has recently
migrated to NBS Chorus Small Works. Dr Stephen Hamil, NBS Innovation Director,
caught up with Jeremy to find out more about his NBS Chorus experience.

Holistic Specification of Materials
11 August 2021 | by Taleen Josefsson
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

now at risk of being labelled a 'dirty industry' with the built environment
being linked to 49% of carbon emissions.

The three pillars of sustainability
08 July 2021 | by Jess Sharman
Our Common Future is the 1987 publication by the World Commission on Environment
