Here's the lowdown on our channels and what you can expect on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.

Whether you’re looking to join the NBS yourself or just keep up to date with the latest innovations in our industry, LinkedIn is the place to look.
By following our company page, you’ll be the first to hear about new vacancies within the business, about new schemes within the local area, charity or volunteer initiatives we’re taking part in and the latest achievements of the company and the staff.
If you’re a BIM professional you may also like to join our Linkedin group, which boasts over 7,500 members and hosts regular conversations on the National BIM Library, BIM objects and BIM in general.

We also use YouTube to announce new products and services, interview industry professionals and showcase how BIM can be used on a project such as The Old Post Office, our home in Newcastle upon Tyne.
The NBS Facebook page shows the company’s friendlier side. We love to shout about staff stories and share articles written about our latest developments or award wins. Expect lots of photos and even the occasional live stream!

Look out for snapshots from our seminars and conferences, too.
The NBS Pinterest account is a treasure trove of infographics, press stories, BIM tools and much more. You can browse through boards full of design and manufacturing masterpieces, repin your favourite office layouts or click through to articles on a range of different topics.
