PRODUCT DATA TEMPLATES
WHAT ARE PRODUCT DATA TEMPLATES?
A product data template is simply a form that contains standardised headings against which manufacturers product information is placed. There is a different template for each type of product.
>5700 TEMPLATES

PRODUCT DATA SHEET
“Manufacturers who supply digital information to the industry are encouraged to make their information freely available in the form of a product data sheet which as a minimum should respond to the NBS “data required” template and/or (where appropriate) parametric 3D BIM objects aligned to this template.
Manufacturers and product data templates are not limited by the “data required templates” in the BIM Toolkit and manufacturers can add further information to identify their key selling points eg to support analysis etc.”

CREATING BIM OBJECTS
NBS BIM OBJECT STANDARD
• NBS recognised the lack of structure and data consistency across all BIM objects. As more and more assets are being built with BIM the introduction of this standard will revolutionise the way in which we interact with the information.
• To achieve consistency NBS has produced a global standard for BIM objects with a recognisable set of criteria, to which all BIM objects can be created.
NBS BIM OBJECT STANDARD
• This means you can select and use BIM objects with confidence, knowing that you are working with objects that are in the right format, contain all the information you need and are compatible with all platforms that you work across.
• Whether objects are authored by NBS or another provider, by using this standard it ensures consistency not only for you and the people you work alongside but across the entire construction industry.
• NBS National BIM Library objects work directly with various BIM design tools and can be seamlessly integrated into NBS Create software, no other BIM object library can offer you this.
NBS BIM OBJECT STANDARD
“NBS BIM Object Standard is a game changing initiative within the industry. It is absolutely essential that we have national standards that we can also push internationally.”
“Giving us a consistent structure for all the information coming from the project, it can only be good for the construction industry.”
“The industry looks for a standard, there is nothing better than the accredited body of RIBA and NBS to set that standard.”
NBS BIM OBJECT STANDARD
• NBS BIM Object Standard• Providing consistency to BIM
objects and a Standard that will transform BIM for the entire construction industry.
NBS BIM Object CertificationAssuring the consistency, quality and compatibility of BIM objects.
NBS BIM OBJECT STANDARD
• NBS Plug-in for Autodesk Revit• Drag and drop BIM objects directly into your Revit model, review
NBS guidance, generate a specification and add properties to your BIM objects.
BIM TOOLS
• NBS Templates for Autodesk Revit• Project or family template files which have been pre-loaded with the
shared parameters required by the NBS BIM Object Standard.
BIM TOOLS
BIM TOOLS
• NBS Shared Parameters• Shared parameters are parameters that you can add to families or
projects and then share with other families and projects. Providing consistency when scheduling and co-ordinating information.
BIM TOOLS
• Archicad Library Part Maker• A new tool to enable designers and manufacturers to create BIM
objects in ARCHICAD to the NBS BIM Object Standard.
