NBS,
the leading specification platform for the construction industry, today
announced a new product integration with Autodesk, which will improve
collaboration and reduce errors across the design and construction timeline.
NBS has added a new feature that enables users of its new
cloud-based specification platform, NBS Chorus, to instantly export a list of
submittals from a specification in one click and import them directly into
leading Common Data Environments (CDEs), including Autodesk’s BIM 360®.
Submittals
are an essential part of the construction process and if managed incorrectly
can cause problems for contractors. Connecting
the data sets between NBS Chorus and BIM 360 greatly reduces the risk of
human error by eliminating the need to manually copy or re-key information, and
allows for better collaboration between architects, specifiers and contractors.
The partnership between NBS and Autodesk is already enabling users
to work smarter and more safely. 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.
“We’re
thrilled to be continually working with Autodesk,” said Sascia Elliot, head of
partnerships, NBS. “There’s a huge opportunity to help our customers work
smarter and safer by integrating CDE’s with NBS Chorus. By transforming what
was once a timely and manual task to a simple click of a button, this
integration with BIM 360 will not only improve accuracy and time efficiency,
but will help us work towards a safer industry”
“Autodesk
is committed to empowering the construction industry to be more productive,”
said Josh Cheney, industry manager, construction technology, Autodesk. “Our
work with companies like NBS enables customers to improve their data flow
across the construction lifecycle, and ultimately build better.
