NBS Chorus
In 2018, NBS introduced NBS Chorus, a cloud-based collaborative specification platform. By using cloud technology, NBS Chorus can provide users with regularly updated software and global content to prevent the production of specifications with unstructured content. NBS Chorus can produce structured content written and maintained to UK or Canadian practice and standards.
In 2020, NBS released NBS Chorus for Small Works, created specifically for architects, engineers and designers who write specifications for smaller works and projects. NBS Chorus for Small Works is suitable for new build or refurbishment projects that are simple jobs and not overly technically complex. This version of the platform enables smaller projects specifiers to access the functionality and features of NBS Chorus along with specification content relevant to smaller projects. NBS Chorus links with NBS Source, the construction product platform.
Both versions of NBS Chorus are able to plug-in to other design tools, including Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft Archicad and Vectorworks.
