NBS
has launched an innovative new feature which enables users of it new Chorus
specification platform to instantly export a list of submittals from a
specification in one click and import them directly into leading Common Data
Environments (CDEs)
Submittals
are an essential part of the construction process, effectively comprising a
list of tasks which the contractor must deliver. But problems can often occur
in project delivery when submittals are completed incorrectly or with poor
information.
NBS
Chorus was launched earlier this year as a fully cloud-based specification
platform for construction. The latest feature release effectively brings the
specifier closer to the contractor, enabling them to generate their submittals
directly from the specification, and ensuring they are based on the same
information set.
By
integrating CDE software with NBS Chorus, users will be saved from manually
copying or re-keying information, greatly reducing the chance of human error
and driving the accuracy of data.
NBS
has developed partnerships with industry leading CDE companies including
Autodesk, Viewpoint and Newforma to provide customers with enhanced value and
smarter specifications. CDEs are cloud-based extranets that host project
information, often used by contractors.
Innovation
Director Dr Stephen Hamil commented: “The industry is demanding coordinated
datasets prior to construction and then prior to occupation. There is also a
demand to be able to check the thread of information between these gateways. By
exporting the submittals from technical specifications prior to construction
and then tracking, checking and recording these as the building is being built
within the common data environment we are delivering against these industry
demands.
At
NBS we are delighted to be working with some of the biggest names in the
construction software industry to satisfy our customer needs.”
