What is NBS and how can it benefit Borg & Overström distributors?
NBS stands for National Building Specification. It’s an integrated global platform for everyone involved in design, supply and construction of the built environment.
At Borg & Overström, we have joined as an NBS partner and included our entire product range onto the NBS platform. This is a great way for your customers to specify our integrated drinking water dispensers and taps into tender projects or for generating new potential customers who we can pair with our distribution partners. Many of your customers, from office fit-out companies to public sector developments, will be using this platform already and now they can search for Borg & Overström products to specify directly into their projects.
Over 73% of UK architects use NBS to write their specifications. Together, they make over 13.6m decisions per month within the NBS platform, illustrating that there are many benefits and opportunities within NBS for Borg & Overstrom partners. Here we will go through a few of those benefits.
