A Platform for Specifiers and Manufacturers
Hundreds of thousands of products are specified through NBS every year. NBS Source is a platform designed to give specifiers everything they need to find, select, and specify manufacturer products.
For manufacturers, NBS Source exposes your products to specifiers with the right information, while helping you respond to industry calls for transparency and standardization in product data.
Our ambition is to provide the ultimate, unified digital platform of construction product information by providing a complete set of extensive, high-quality product data structured to industry standards, including all relevant performance criteria and certifications.
FIND
NBS Source enables specifiers to find and browse products and manufacturers using intuitive search.
SELECT
Specifiers can select and compare products using structured properties, values and technical information.
SPECIFY
Manufacturer products specified directly into a project specification, 3D model, or both via full integration with NBS Chorus and Autodesk Revit.
Unified Product Data, in One Place
Unlike any other product platform, the tool allows specifiers to find and browse products and manufacturers using intuitive search, select and compare products using structured properties, values and technical information, and specify products directly into their project specification, 3D model or both, via full integration with NBS Chorus and Autodesk Revit.
Specifiers can find manufacturer products easily as they work on their projects and instantly copy product data into their specifications with the ‘Add a Spec’ button instead of sifting through websites and print catalogues.
