View Our Products On The National BIM Library

July 16th, 2017

BIM is without doubt the latest and most innovative method of selecting products for architectural drawings and specifications and will avoid a lot of mistakes in drafting and construction, saving time and money. The objects are offered multi-platform (the most common type of drawing software is called Revit) so can be used on a number of different software packages.

What is the National BIM Library?

BIM is the Building Information Modelling software that creates intelligent product listings on drawings and specifications. The product contains all the design features like a CAD drawing did, but contains much more information on the product and almost simulates the product installed in the building, flagging up any obvious clashes (e.g. if a pedestal is the wrong height).

The NBS BIM Object Standard

The NBS BIM Object Standard defines requirements for the information, geometry, behaviour and presentation of BIM objects and gives a reassurance of quality and consistency that facilitates greater collaboration across the construction industry. This enables quick, confident and informed decision-making.

NBS Certification

All BIM objects on NBS National BIM Library meet the requirements of the NBS BIM Object Standard and have been awarded an individual certificate of compliance, which you can find on the object details page.
