Speaking about the launch of metroSTOR’s product range on the NBS platforms, Nigel Deacon, Sales Director, said: “Joining the NBS database is a natural choice for a dynamic and forward-looking company such as metroSTOR. Together with our RIBA-approved CPD presentation, this move ensures that all architects now have fast and simple access to current product information and the tools they need to resolve the challenges faced when creating secure, user-friendly storage for bikes, bins and scooters on almost any housing project. The NBS National BIM Library performs a similar function but with 3D CAD models incorporating data with live updates for every product – instead of a static written specification – which is guaranteed to meet the requirements of the internationally recognised NBS BIM Object Standard.

NBS Plus is used by the majority of architectural and design practices in the UK, enabling designers to select proven products and incorporate the necessary technical information directly into the written project specification, saving time and minimising the likelihood of product substitution. The digital model holds all the information needed to design, construct and maintain that building.”

According to the NBS National BIM Library, “BIM is much more than a 3D design… It is way of working, managing information in a team environment, enabling everyone to understand a building through the use of a digital model.

This will make it even quicker and easier for architects to specify external storage units for bikes, bins and scooters, and to comply with recent government requirements.īIM stands for ‘building information modelling’ and the government has stipulated since 2016 that all public construction projects must be built using BIM. As from August 2019 the metroSTOR product range is now available through NBS Plus and the NBS National BIM Library.
