NBS, are committed to offering distinctive, innovative specification and information solutions to construction industry professionals and are leading the construction industry in its digital evolution.
NBS origins lie in the National Building Specification and for over 40 years we have developed and produced NBS products which support the built environment. NBS specification products cover construction, engineering services and landscape design.
More recently NBS developed an integrated Building Information Modelling (BIM) platform that has been designed to support global design and construction. It currently has four major components:
- NBS BIM Toolkit. BIM execution plan, roles and responsibilities.
- NBS Create. BIM specification and knowledge platform.
- NBS National BIM Library. BIM object library, generic and actual.
- Construction Information Service (CIS). Standards and regulations.
NBS products are recognised as being individually effective in their own right, but via the linking of the data, classification and integration, the true power comes through these connections across the NBS BIM platform. Combining world leading technology with expert knowledge, NBS is trusted to help construction industry professionals make the best project decisions.
NBS is a trading name of RIBA Enterprises Ltd, the knowledge management business of the RIBA and have over 200 employees globally.
