The new Consultancy Bundle from NBS grants you exclusive access to expert insights, CPD training on specification writing, and technical guidance on project queries, giving you more time to focus on design and your business.

Are you confident about specification writing?
Up to date with the latest legislation and standards?
Do you have the skills in-house to deliver high-quality specifications?

For over 50 years, customers have looked to NBS for knowledge and guidance on best-practice in specification and product information, through many evolutions of the built environment and digital technologies, and we have trained thousands of users on NBS Chorus functionality.

However, NBS are frequently asked if we could offer training about specification writing and respond to technical issues about real project specifications. The Consultancy Bundle provided by the NBS Schumann team will help you understand specification writing and answer your questions.

What is the Consultancy Bundle?

The Consultancy Bundle is a subscription for NBS Chorus users, and connects you to the NBS Schumann team via a range of consultancy services and special content.

A new offering for 2024, the NBS Consultancy bundle provides exclusive access to NBS Schumann expertise on specification writing, in-depth knowledge on technical subject areas and guidance on project specification queries.

Since the launch of NBS Schumann specification writing and design management services, developing specifications on large and complex projects, many NBS customers have requested technical support on specification subjects like risk and procurement, and CPD training on ‘What makes a good specification?’ or ‘What classification structure should I use?’

You can buy the Consultancy Bundle as an add-on subscription to NBS Chorus, and you will receive NBS tokens to be redeemed for various consultancy services.

What are NBS tokens?

Digital tokens to the value of your Consultancy Bundle subscription are added to your organisation when you purchase the bundle. These can be redeemed for a range of services delivered by NBS teams including technical query responses, CPD presentations delivered online, meetings with the team, and other specification consultancy work.

These services will use your tokens on a ‘burn down’ basis where the duration of a query or consultancy meeting will reduce your account by a specific number of tokens.

When you run out of tokens, you can top-up at any time, including at your renewal and upgrading your subscription.

What can I spend my tokens on?

Ask the Experts: Connect with consultants via NBS Chorus for direct assistance on specification queries.
Training: Choose from various courses covering NBS Chorus use, specification theory and practical implementation
CPD: Arrange sessions online or in-person about specialist subjects like risk, procurement, international work, and specification best-practice.
Meet with an expert: Schedule online sessions with our team to address your specific challenges.

Coming soon: More services to be added.
