NBS has assembled a line-up of experts for a brand new conference, 'BIM through the Plan of Work'.

A diverse mix of construction industry experts will lead the speaker line up at this year's NBS Live.

RIBA Enterprises, the knowledge arm of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) is seeking a North East based architect to redevelop its current premises in central Newcastle.

A team led by NBS has won a funding award of £50,000 from the Technology Strategy Board for a first stage feasibility study into the development of a digital tool for Building Information Modelling (BIM) that has the potential to transform the procurement of buildings and infrastructure.

70% of those using BIM believe it has given them a competitive advantage according to the fourth annual NBS National BIM Survey.

NBS, in partnership with model checking software pioneers Solibri and the UK’s largest built environment compliance consultancy Butler & Young, has completed a pilot project to demonstrate how currently available tools can be used to automate checking of Building Regulations Approved Documents compliance in a Building Information Model.

On 26 November 2013 NBS Live will bring experts from across the construction industry together in London to share their knowledge on a broad range of issues impacting the industry today, and to discuss what the future holds.

Peter Hansford, Chief Construction Advisor for the UK Government will open the first NBS Live conference on Tuesday 26 November at the Business Design Centre, London.

NBS, part of RIBA Enterprises, has launched its second major annual survey into construction contracts and related legal issues.

Results from the annual industry-wide BIM survey, undertaken by NBS, have provided the most comprehensive and up to date picture of BIM (Building Information Modelling) implementation within the UK's construction industry.

In the recently announced Architect of the Year shortlist, over two thirds are NBS customers.

NLA honoured the capital's very best architecture, planning and development and announced the winners of the New London Awards at a lunchtime ceremony at Guildhall in the City.

Results from an industry-wide survey undertaken by NBS reveal a pressing demand for improved awareness and understanding of BIM (Building Information Modelling) throughout the built environment industry.

The number of disputes in the UK construction industry has not reduced and partnering has still not been widely adopted in spite of the Government efforts. These are the key findings of major new survey into contracts and legal issues undertaken by NBS.

A skills survey of architectural students and employers conducted by RIBA Appointments and Newcastle University has shed light on the difference in expectations and experiences of architectural students, seeking to enter the current job market, with those of employers looking to recruit.

After more than a year of investigation, development, consultation and investment by NBS, the National BIM Library was officially launched at Ecobuild last week.
