As I mentioned in my reply to Rich though, I will speak to someone at NBS and do a full post on this subject next week.<br /><br />Also, I saw your post on RIBA Net saying nice things about Domestic - thanks for helping spread the word :)Stephen Hamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249940911768910203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092300065894914696.post-38664989239612439732010-09-09T12:37:12.091+01:002010-09-09T12:37:12.091+01:00One thing that merits re-consideration is the cont...One thing that merits re-consideration is the continued use of the word "domestic". It seems like this package would be ideally suited to small commercial/refurb jobs which could also be making use of this product.Warren Whytehttp://whyteconsult.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092300065894914696.post-8082173187581006602010-09-08T17:28:19.116+01:002010-09-08T17:28:19.116+01:00@Warren

All of our software developers use IPods and IPhones and IPads nowadays so delivering a specification system over the web clearly allows us to make it platform independent.<br /><br />I appreciate there is a demand for all our products to work on a Mac - I cannot promise anything, but clearly this is a step in the right direction.Stephen Hamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249940911768910203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092300065894914696.post-8868767137029354112010-09-08T17:24:50.496+01:002010-09-08T17:24:50.496+01:00@Rich

As you a...@Rich<br /><br />Thanks for the positive comments.<br /><br />As you are online, the work sections will always be the very latest when you add them to your project spec. This is true for the technical guidance and suggested insert values too.<br /><br />In terms of complexity of project, the scope of the content isn't quite up there with NBS Scheduler - but is fine for small domestic projects. I'll maybe speak to one of our technical team and do a post on the scope of content in the next few weeks.<br /><br />The specification data will reside online, but at any time you can take a local PDF copy of this.Stephen Hamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249940911768910203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092300065894914696.post-61453378704423028112010-09-08T14:19:30.319+01:002010-09-08T14:19:30.319+01:00I'm looking forward to trying this out on a Ma...I'm looking forward to trying this out on a Mac.

Presumably, this allows for ensuring that library content is always up-to-date? I've not used the paper-based NBS Dom before, but is it a spec-based comparator to NBS Scheduler; in terms of complexity of document and/or project?<br /><br />Would the written specs reside online, or only be saved locally?Rich Chaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499685295260145631noreply@blogger.com
