Style upgrades to RIBA’s NBS Chorus and Source to offer enhanced moveable wall specifications

2021-11-26

Architects can now specify moveable and folding walls with greater ease thanks to Style’s continued commitment to RIBA’s NBS platform.

Style’s products are available on NBS Chorus, where architects can develop a model and specification at the same time directly within Autodesk Revit, Vectorworks or Graphisoft Archicad environments. This creates a seamless link between design and specification.

Architects can also access Style’s moveable wall solutions on NBS Source - a brand new tool that creates a single source for product information, bringing together the NBS BIM Library, NBS Plus and Product Selector.

Unlike any other product library, NBS Source provides an additional level of enhanced product data in a consistent, structured format that will integrate seamlessly into an architect’s project workflow.

“We continue to invest in our people, products and systems and we see our inclusion in both NBS Chorus and NBS Source as an important part of our offering,” said Style’s group managing director, Julian Sargent.

“This is all part of our commitment to make the specification process as simple as possible for architects, and by being part of the new NBS Chorus and Source systems is another important addition to our overall proposition.”

Integrating with the NBS Chorus specification platform, already used by over 4,000 practices, the NBS Source product platform lists thousands of products from leading manufacturers in a single consistent format. 

Both platforms are aligned so that a manufacturer’s product specification is defined using the same standardised terminology as the equivalent NBS generic specification. The alignment makes it possible to filter and/or compare to find the right product for a project. Once a product is selected, it can be easily specified.

This gives architects everything they need to make specifications in one place, not only providing an alternative to the current atomised system, but creating accountability throughout the supply chain.
