In terms of the contact information, what we'd like to do here is (1) allow the user to pick this from an practice address book early on, (2) assign the contract roles to the project team members in the prelims and then (3) for this information to flow into the contract administation process. But, you're right, there is a long way to go. But one step at a time.<br /><br />Keep on getting on the beta test server and please keep giving us as much detailed feedback as possible on the beta forum. Also, keep on checking out this blog for a little focus on an area each month.Stephen Hamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249940911768910203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092300065894914696.post-83909666019461170202011-06-02T14:31:20.528+01:002011-06-02T14:31:20.528+01:00I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this...I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this new way of authoring and managing spec info since I first heard of it; keep at it guys - the beta is a good start but I guess there's a long way to go!<br /><br />The full integrating of schedules is a significant inclusion, and strong two-way ties with 3d information (BIM, etc) will really bring it all together. Any chance of also providing linkage with in-house contact databases in the long run - especially for Prelims data?Rich Chaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883326333829890683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092300065894914696.post-50759225192770469982011-05-27T14:35:25.865+01:002011-05-27T14:35:25.865+01:00The principle ideas behind the NBS 2012 product be...The principle ideas behind the NBS 2012 product begin to open up a whole new way of working for the architectural profession. <br /><br />How often is the specification left until the last minute? With the 2012 product the specification will start whilst the project is still in its infancy and develop and grow in sync with the design. <br /><br />Being able to specify by 'system' is inherently linked to the way in which BIM (Building Information Modelling) works, providing the designer with the tools to rapidly develop a model/design and a specifcation simultaneously.<br /><br />To date the industry has never had such powerful tools at its disposal, offices ignore these advances in technology at their own cost.Nicknoreply@blogger.com
