Overview
NBS National BIM Library, now integrated within NBS Source, is a central repository for Building Information Modeling (BIM) objects. It provides architects, engineers, and construction professionals with a vast library of generic and manufacturer-specific BIM objects, ranging from building fabric systems to mechanical and electrical components. All objects are free to download and use in projects. A key feature is the NBS BIM Object Standard certification, ensuring the objects are of high quality, consistent, and compatible across various platforms. The library can be accessed directly through the NBS website, and also through plugins for Autodesk Revit and other BIM software, enabling users to drag and drop objects directly into their models. This integration provides instant access to manufacturer guidance and associated literature within the modeling environment.
