1. Expert Written Specifications on NBS Chorus [with Full Ownership of Specifications]
SpecStudio is composed of a team of experts working together to provide comprehensive NBS specification writing support services, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and clarity on every project. Beyond providing specification consultancy services, our team specialises in delivering tailored specifications that meet your unique construction and design requirements.
2. Tried & Tested Specification Content & Masters
Along with our NBS specification writing services, your practice gains access to our bespoke SpecStudio Masters, A-Sections/PM Sections, and Work Sections. These have been written and prepared to complement and enhance your NBS content for precise, high-quality specifications.
3. Data Migration and System Integration with Uniclass
Benefit from our team’s expertise in seamlessly migrating to Uniclass format, with no compromise in content or specification output, while aligning with industry standards.
The Uniclass specification format is used by many leading-edge architectural practices, including HOK. With our team’s help, HOK’s Gateshead Quays project utilised Uniclass 2015 to transform an industrial area into a recreational and cultural hub.
4. BIM Integration with NBS Chorus
Design teams can link the specification to the BIM model using the NBS plug-in tool. This connection helps your specification document to be in sync with the latest design updates in the BIM model – helping consistency across all project documentation. Our team can also work across various BIM maturity levels, so we encourage you to contact us regardless of your BIM requirements.
5. Procurement and Project Design Alignment
Our specifications clearly define the project design responsibilities and align with procurement requirements. Unlike a standard specification, we provide a clear framework that helps all parties (designers, contractors, suppliers) understand their specification and design obligations, thus minimising potential risks and errors.
6. Maintain Control
You maintain full control and ownership of content and specifications within your NBS Chorus workspace. Enlisting our services is like hiring your own in-house specification writer, allowing you to retain the digital specification and make future changes.
