What is the NBS BIM Object Standard?

Why do so many manufacturers choose
NBS National BIM Library?

Given the widespread use of NBS amongst our customers, NBS National BIM Library was the natural choice…. The BIM Object Standard obviously gives clients the satisfaction of knowing that the content they are using is of the highest standard

Lee Jones

Design Manager for BIM
We needed to keep pace with the competition and the NBS National BIM Library seems to be the market leader. We were a bit daunted by the prospect, but having our objects authored and hosted on the site has been much more straightforward than we first thought.

John Mason

Technical Manager
The NBS BIM Object Standard was an important factor for Harlequin Floors when choosing to use the NBS National BIM Library as it allows our key clients to access our BIM objects that operate in a Common Data Environment. It creates a link between the specification process and the construction process and we have to ensure that we as manufacturers are part of both.”
