NBS Chorus and Graphisoft launch BIM software

NBS and Graphisoft, the BIM software solution provider, have partnered to develop an add-on for Graphisoft ArchiCAD to enable direct linkage with NBS Chorus. Aimed at professionals who need to produce specifications efficiently, NBS Chorus is a collaborative specification platform, which supports global design and construction. NBS Chorus is a cloud-based specification platform, allowing architects, designers and engineers to create specifications for projects. This direct link with Graphisoft’s BIM software will enable users to build a project model and specification together in the ArchiCAD environment, compatible with macOS for the first time. The add-on reduces the risk of product information becoming incorrect or out of date from users developing the specification and drawing on separate documents. The add-on also improves productivity by linking the information modelled within ArchiCAD to the information contained in NBS’ specification software.
