Why you need NES
Writing specifications is an integral but time-consuming part of every Building Services Engineers working life.
Many practices have developed in-house procedures and document templates to optimise the time spent on those parts of the specification-writing process that are common to most projects. But developing and maintaining a full specification system along with the information resources required is very costly, and beyond the means of most offices.
Even where sophisticated systems exist, the biggest problem remains keeping up to date with the changes in British and European Standards, and keeping pace with industry ‘best practice’.
NES addresses the very real challenges of ensuring that accurate and up to date information is available to Building Services Engineers. This is an increasingly onerous task given the rate of legislative change, but an absolutely vital one given the increasingly litigious environment in which the whole construction industry operates.
Easy to Use
Although extremely comprehensive, NES is very intuitive and easy to use. In addition to a extensive instruction manual the software contains easy to use wizards, typical examples and FAQ's.
Guidance notes are provided for most sections and in some cases for individual clauses.
In addition to this facility, you can also add your own comments to sections and clauses.
