This infographic illustrates some of the key insights from the most recent Digital Construction Report. 

Over 900 construction professionals gave their views. Here we pick out ten highlights, which we believe will continue to be relevant in 2022.

Reflecting on 2021, here’s how NBS has helped the construction industry this year and a look ahead at what we’ve got coming up in 2022.

At NBS, we believe that the construction industry has a major role to play in tackling the global climate change emergency. Check out our new mini-series of webinars we’ve created which looks at how to build a more sustainable built environment.

In September 2021 NBS hosted the digital conference, Construction Leaders’ Summit: Building Better. Here are five key takeaways from the event.

Specifications for architecture, engineering, landscape, and the built environment give construction teams a detailed overview of the project work, required performance, and product selections. This article answers some commonly asked questions about specification and NBS, including how to write a specification, and what to include.

Over the last year, we’ve hosted a wide range of webinars covering everything you need to know about the construction industry. 

Here’s just five of the most popular webinars of 2021. 

We've outlined the key reasons that you should keep using your NBS subscription even when you're not working on a project. 

Being an Architect has never been so important. Originally, we would have needed to deliver a building that suited the client and withstood the elements. As time has gone on, our plates have stacked ever higher. The construction industry is now at risk of being labelled a 'dirty industry' with the built environment being linked to 49% of carbon emissions.

From the first versions of NBS, connecting specification writers with construction product manufacturers has always been a big part of what we do. In the 1970s, this was purely in the form of a promotional page within the paper version of NBS. This developed into the RIBA Product Selector directories, and then into digital websites for product literature, specifications and objects.

As we embrace construction’s digital age, project data requirements are becoming more complex. Having a central unified basis of information is tantamount to project success.
